Hero AI contest 2013

[Accname]

And here is mine. This is a little bit disappointing, I sure hoped some more people would participate.
I couldnt finish it either. Its not using items yet.

Well I guess since nobody else sent any AI in, we 2 have to battle it out. I will upload a map with both AI's as well as a replay of the battle shortly.

Ugh I wish I stumbled upon this earlier, I would have given it a shot for good old times sake.
I miss this forum and the community so much, so nostalgic... :'[

If you'd extend the deadline, I'd make one for this contest.

 

[Accname]

I could extend the deadline. 2 participations is really pretty meager.
I personally would appreciate if the deadline was extended. But to make it fair thorhunter has a say in this as well.

If you dont mind thorhunter I would propose to extend the deadline for another 2 weeks starting this sunday. Of course you and I would have the chance to improve our heroes as well.

 

[thorhunter]

Having contest with two contestants is pretty pointless IMO so I have nothing against it. Ill reintroduce my entry after new deadline.

 

[Accname]

Well then, the deadline has been extended by 2 weeks!
This is your last chance folks, I wanna see some awesome AI's by the 20th october!

 

[BRUTAL]

Excellent decision, especially with Cat (love the name) being a possible fourth participant.
I'm trying to put something together for this, though I'll admit this is the first time I've touched the World Editor in almost 4 years.
With that said, has anyone been able to actually make their AI purchase items from the shops? I've been trying to do this, but have not had any success. I don't see any particular actions along the lines of "make hero purchase..." or anything that would make this possible.
I tried using this to emulate a real item purchase for the AI, but this does not seem to work. :S

• Actions
  • Selection - Select Shop for Player
  • Game - Force Player to press the key X

For everybody who doesnt know:
You can issue a unit to buy an item only with Jass, but unfortunately not with GUI.
The jass line which you can call via custom script is:

call IssueNeutralImmediateOrderById(SomeUnit, SomeShop, SomeItem)

where SomeItem could be a constant Item id like 'phea' for a healing potion for example.

I forgot to backup my map when cleaning lap so unless someone downloaded it before I removed it from forums my entry is gone .

 

[Accname]

Here you go. This should be it. You are lucky I kept the file, I was thinking about deleting it, but then I thought there is no benefit in doing that so I could just as well keep it as a backup.

 

[thorhunter]

It appears the tournament won't be resolved?

 

[Accname]

Appears so. Quite disappointing.
Oh well, I think the time for wc3 is just over.

 

[BRUTAL]

I had a lot of studying to do last week, and wasn't finished coding some core aspects of the AI so I didn't submit it.
Did you two also not finish? There doesn't seem to be any submissions, just curious.

 

[Accname]

I had submitted mine earlier already, but after seeing that nobody else submitted I didnt even bother uploading the AI.
