help im almost dying :-) custom units

[shimon_el]

there is a major problem in my new map.
i know someone mationed that earlier but still
how do you make premade units to do something
-they dont move or attack.
why?
because i made a new race and i tried to make the computer use
it but the computer rejects the new unit.
and dont use the new race barracs.(something like that)
then i relized that my race is not the problem
he dosent use premads at all!!!!
cmon ' please im beggin help me!!!

Your description is very chaotic. There could be many causes to your problem.
What do you mean by 'premade' units? The standard units that came with Warcraft 3? Can you please describe in more detail what you want to create and what you have done, then I might be able to help you.

The problem could be that it is a new race. You might need to use the AI editor to create AI for it.

 

[sqrage]

yea man u need to set a custom AI script for them...

 

[shimon_el]

well...


thanx for your replays:


a)pre made units are units that already there when you playing the map
if i put an arths on the field - is a pre made unit

b)scripting my race with the ai editor?
how?

ok

i manage to script my race
the only problem is that the race is custom
and when i try to test it - he goes to human race
or whatever
what shall i do?

 

[DM Cross]

Actually, I've noticed this too...When you hit test map, the races are almost always the same: You're human and your enemy will be undead...To change that you might want to change the starting stuff for Human races to the workers of whatever race it is you made

 

[shimon_el]

2 things

1) i tried to create 3 orc grunts to the undead army and he dosent even use them - its not the problem with my race....
2)you cant change the workers of human in human a.i or whatever else only in custom a.i

 

[DM Cross]

No no no, I meant you might want to change the starting settings...Instead of 4 human peasents, put 5 of your custom races workers...And replace the Town Hall with whatever your race's version of a Town Hall would be...Then you can test your custom race...Also, switch your custom race with the Undead to let the computer test it...That way you can see if it's really balanced or not!

Hope that was a bit more clear

lolz, lazarusxl. Sorry but I find your earlier post offending. You said: The standard units that came with Warcraft 3? Can you please describe in more detail what you want to create and what you have done, then I might be able to help you.

Very offending use the terms: "we" because you are not the only one helping people here or trying to help people there are many people backing us up and you give us that you might help him? that is very offending.

 

[shimon_el]

yes but

-i cant change the unded workers.
if you select the unded race in the ai editor you cant change the workers
so i selected the custom race ai
but i cant make the computer to play as them because he has only
the basic ones: human unded orcs....

 

[shimon_el]

wait

how do i change the starting units for lets say undead?
