AI Commands...

Okay, so I disabled the melee AI script for my level. However, if a person selects that they want a computer to play on their own team, how do I create a command that I want the computer player to do. I know that there is an action in the trgger types, but apparently it evaluates a command to a integer value. Is there a list of what number = what command or action somewhere? I don't get it.

My my my, now don't we have the first excelent question on this board, I'm currently looking at the custom AI scripts, but the easiest way would be to fake an AI script by having a swordload of triggers that resemble <trigger 1> at the bottom of this post.

<trigger 1>
Events: <Unit- is brought to location>
Conditions: None
Actions: <If <Looks like time to attack=True> Then <If <Randomized Boolean= True> Then <Attack Area 1> Else <Attack Area 2>> Else <Patrol away>
((In other words, path out a route for the enemy to take and just have them do that, And have I mentioned I LOVE If/Then/Else))

<Added section through the post edit>
Alright, I have now looked at this, and understand why Blizzard does not support the use of this editor. AI's are stored in .ai files that must be made with some other editor- one that blizzard has not released due to instability problems. Your best bet (if you wish to actually make these scripts) is to look for an AI editor on either at www.warcraft.org or the website refered to in the tread "How to get Starcraft units in Warcraft"

Interesting...

Okay, so you're suggesting that I fake the AI script by creating triggers that resemble an AI script? Interesting thought, however, that would eat up the check buffer. I was already having a problem with my map taking too much time to check the events as it was. Well, Maybe I'll take a look at that sight and post my results back here. Thanks for the input. :)

Works...

So, faking an AI script through triggers DOES work! Neato. It's a pain, but works. I've got a little sample one if anyone is interested. However, in my persuit I wanted to check if a player had already built a specific unit or building. Anyone know how to check that? (I can check if they have one in progress, but I'm not sure how to tell if the building has been completed or not) Any ideas?

Oh, and Neo... I'm starting to really begin using the If/Then/Elses a lot too. They save a lot of time when you start getting the hang of them. ::Smile:: Thanks.

sorry for not posting in a monthish.
first off, YAY! someone else shares my if/then/else insanity! I feel empathised for...
next, faking ai's takes too long, so if anyone finds an ai scripter so that people could make ai's without faking a script.
next, try boolean comparison for something that if a certain unit is

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
