>They are still spells that need to be used in order to make the hero powerful and complete.<

So I have to place buildings on map and after all non building enemy units are down the hero will cast Ultimate on buildings or what? o_O

And the Area Revival is still a ... boring .. thing.. Should I add Blademaster enemy and then let the hero use the ability when the BM has used windwalk or what? o_o

No, just consider that fact the hero may or may not need to cast is sometimes and create your AI accordingly. I can't tell you anything but that.

Mind rephrasing that?


Would any kind Moderator clean the spam we got here on the thread? Especially diamondhero5... Yeah, that is one odd post.

How exactly do we make this "work"
Player 1 observer?
And player 2 is the AI?

Can we make the observer give commands?

Can we make Player 1 build a base and everything, but the hero he trains becomes player 2, and uses AI?

i suggest looking at the sample on the first post

I looked at it ^^
Still doesn't answer the commands.
And i don't have to do it like that do i?

I don't mind if i do actually :)

Count me in. I'll do my best to finish it on time.
I'm going for dark ranger.

I also think it should be either melee only heroes, or no extra points for custom heroes. It'd be a lot easier to make a custom hero with easy to trigger AI for the abilties.

Edit: Read through the posts

4? But The Reveal and ultimative isn't that interesting... o_o
The reveal is easy. Every 20 seconds, make farseer cast reveal on enemies base :D

Just make player 1 view the whole map, and player 2 control the hero with the AI.

> The reveal is easy. Every 20 seconds, make farseer cast reveal on enemies base

No. Why would he know exactly when is the base? If he has 5 HP he better run rather than try to find some info about the enemy. Why not try to look somwhere else? Cosider mana, might wanna save it. Not that easy. :p

In that case, there is no use for Far Sight in an AI map like this :)

Bah AceHart, you again. :p

Of course it does, say I got an ability that it's casting range is greater than my are of sight range. That ability could come in handy in the situation.

You don't HAVE do include it, but it may take a few points.

WIP = Work in progress, right? So.. what are we supposed to do? Post our unfinished AI to see how we're going on? :)

Just let us know what you are up to. What hero, how far a long are you, maybe how his AI is going to work, etc.

Well, here's mine. It's a Mountain King AI. It's GUI for now, but I'll try to make it JASS if I can /still new to JASS/ :/
EDIT: WIP :p

seems like alot of fun

Well, ive never had any offical releases, my maps did usually not pass the beta and i did usually get 50% of the help to create em here..

tho, if you dont mind a nub joining so one of your super AI computers can beat the crap out of mine, you can add me to the list of contestants.

Also, if you feel like i should not join, feel free to say so.
I also know im kinda low on time, but i just got back to this and think it would be fun to try :p

EDIT; took away my masterplan, so you wont even know whats happening when my hero struck you o.0

I can't really figure out how to post a work-in-progress picture about my AI... The Pandaren just stands there.

Anyway, some of the options it will support:

  • Can easily beat any units' rear end.
  • Can cook brownies.

Everyone are invited to the contest.

> Can cook brownies.

Meh, I like pie better.

> cr4xzZz

Nice, nothing breaks the rules, in your WIP. Note though that when testing it in the official duel map, the heroe's level will be level 1 at the start.

Can I join?
If I'm submitted then I'm the one who ask the duel map features.
Maybe it has fountain of life, or items, or the creeps type and power... can you upload the map?

The duel map will not be uploaded. All you need to know is that it is an AoS, nothing else.
Added you to contestants list.

Yes I know that, but I'm just testing how/when the Hero casts abilities (and if he casts them)

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
