Create a simple Ai

[Nmare]

Hi all.

I want to create a simple Ai for my map. Before asking i want to state that I'm fairly new to warcraft 3 editing; so sorry if this is a trivial question

I spawn creeps for 2 sides. Beside that I also spawn 2 heroes. The heroes helps the player by running around and killing the creeps, going home to heal and so on. This works perfectly. What I want to implent is some sort check if the hero is outnumbered i.e. if there are more of the opponents creeps than his. And if he is, then pull back and wait for some reinforcements.

I thought of something like:

1. Check a region where the hero is in center 20 units at each side.
2. See if there are more of opponent creeps than his.
3. Run back.

But i can't find out how to make .1

Any help and or suggestions would be really great

Maybe sumthing like this?

Event: Time - Every (youfillthis) seconds
Conditions: (not required, if u wanna put some here do it...)
Actions:
Pick every unit in ur region
If: amount of [picked units] is higher than 20 (or sumthing)
Then: (command ur hero to go back for healing)
Else: do nothing

I don't have world editor available here right now so u gotta make sumthing of it urself, when im back ill look into it.

That solution could work - but im trying to make it so I wound't need some predefined regions. So the region to check would be a rectangle from:


Hero position -20x,-20y to hero position +20x,+20y.

maybe you can periodically store your hero's position in a variable and create a region that uses the variable to determine its position?
