Make AI Hero Dumb

[The_Prophet]

Is there a way to make computer controlled players not cast spells. Even with no ai script running, the computer heros will cast spells (however they wont learn/level the skills). Is this hardcoded, and is there anyway to go around this problem?

are you talking about creeps?

because with no AI loaded then they do nothing but atk nearby units.

Why don't you simply stop them investing the hero points? Then when you need them to do something you invest, do your abilit, un-invest and be happy.

I cannot help any more than this because I have no WIII disc, at present.

ok well maby i should of been a little more upfront on what im doing. On my map, i want to make it where lets say theres not enough players joining your game, you can simply set a computer to that slot, and when the game starts, i have the computer pick a random hero and then i make the computer give shared control with its allies, so someone can take 2 heros if they want to make things fair. However, as i mentioned before the heros cast spells literally at random wasting all their mana, making it impossible for the people controlling the extra hero(s) to use.

Give them a pipe and a hit of pot... that'll dumbify em

Why don't you just give the heroes to the playing players instead of having them belong to a computer?

 

[DDRtists]

I agree with the Lumpy...and RAD , that would make it alot better...

Well i though of that at first, but considering the game is 6v6, i couldnt figure out a way to simply give the hero to any one player easily. Would making the computers leave the game(if thats even possible) solve it?

 

[the Lumpy]

What exactly do you want to happen? Do you want one specific player to be able to use it, or all the players?

 

[The_Prophet]

All of them

Don't give them active abilities.


Or replace the active abilities with channel based ones

"Would making the computers leave the game(if thats even possible) solve it?"

Sounds like the best idea so far. (sounds like it would work) But yea - I'm not infront of my Editor right now.
