How to make AI for Hero Arena

[SamYoon]

Just like what i said in the title, how to make a Ai system for my hero arena game. From picking heroes, buying items, learn skill and casts spell attack / retreat. I wanna make this in GUI is there any guides? For everything you know please tell me~ tys.

Well there is this guide, but for advanced stuff that completely not rlated to melee games, like Hero Arenas, I would suggest triggering it. Can be a little hard, but can act like an actual player if you really put your efforts into it.
I suggest just start triggering it, and if you encounter problems - ask here

Isn't the AI editor in World Editor only for changing how the AI acts in melee games? I am also looking for help on my map with making AI. I have started triggering, but it is a LOT of work.

I have discovered that the AI will use most skills by themselves (like War Stomp, Faerie Fire, Chainlightning etc.), buy you may have to trigger abilities that you have completely customized.

You order the AI using the order string of the ability you want the AI to cast.

As for buying items, is the purchase sequence random? If not, you can make a periodic trigger to check if AI has enough money for the item, and if so buy it.

Learning skills is the same, if the sequence of skills is the same all the way, then you can make a trigger to check each AI hero's level and learn the respective skill for that level.

For attacking, just periodically make AIs patrol to random points in the Arena. That way they will attack any enemies on sight. You can also make a trigger that orders AIs to run if their health is below a percentage.

The AI will automatically use ALL default abilities even if values have been changed or copies made, though if you make chain lightning target allies and heal rather(EXAMPLE!!) they will not know how to use it without triggers.

AI also doesnt know how to use Channel(not blizzard etc. buy the "Channel" ability)

 

[KaerfNomekop]

AI won't use Channel-based skills on their own, same as any other custom skills. Therefore you need to order the AI to cast a spell using the order string of the ability. In case you don't know, the order string field is Text - Order String - Use/Turn On. This can be changed in Channel in the Data - Base Order ID field.
