Ok I've edited this thread so that people with great AI knowledge can help me build up my own decent AI. I will put all triggers I used in the making of the AI, state my pros, cons and what can and needs to be done. First of all let me say that:
Here are the triggers in GUI:
Not sure people will understand the names but just to avoid confusions, Hero Name is Doktor which is another way of spelling Doctor. Yea no shit, you prolly know that.
These are the spell names:
-Steroidi (Inner Fire)
-Super Zvezda (Starfall)
-Koktelce (Rejuvenation
-Zegin (Unholy Aura)
It's obvious what this does. Game text is pretty much in every actions, just for testing and to see how my AI "thinks"
Heroes maximum level is 4 and this disables the first trigger after he reaches level 4. I put the wait there to avoid AI not learning his "ulti" spell at last level and get learning trigger disabled by this one.
The move trigger. First checks if there are enemy units spawned and if greater than or equal to 1 then IF target is within his range, an enemy, visible it will attack-move to its location. Otherwise he will wander around like an idiot... I have a major trouble with this trigger, cuz the second trigger happens only when you start the game. After the bot finds and kills an enemy, he stares at his corpse like a necrophiliac... then he won't move random at all again. He will wait until another enemy spawns near him and wait for him to attack... cuz hes obviously busy, staring at dead people's bodies.
The attack trigger. Doktor will wait to be attacked if hes just blindly doing nothing... like wanking on dead corpses.
His healing trigger. Hence he has two spells that enhance survivability (Steroidi - Inner Fire; Koktelce - Rejuvenation) he will first try to cast Rejuvenation when he has life/mana lower than that required. Now this works this way, if hes mana is 60 or greater he will use to cast Rejuvenation, because it heals for 200 and returns 50 mana. But if he has more mana he will first Inner Fire itself then if needed cast Rejuvenation.
I didn't know other way than at every 18 seconds to tell the Doktor to cast Starfall. As you can see hence this spell is channeling, I turned off all triggers that cause the unit to just go move, attack or cast another spell and applied a timer to return the turned off triggers back to normal.
Now this is the where the unit will retreat to fountain because it has: no mana to cast Rejuvenation, no mana to cast Inner Fire to help with the healing and has not enough health. I also put a boolean condition and applied it to the moving of the Doktor. As you can see, if DoktorHealing = true, the unit will not aquire targets via pick up every unit that is enemy, visible bla bla... and will just peacefully go to fountain and stay there until its healed...
This is the last trigger. Its pretty much self-explanatory but with the other trigger checking every second if Doktor has low mana and life this trigger checks each 10 seconds and sets the boolean condition to false so Doktor will be able to aquire targets via his move trigger.
So what are the pros and cons of this? This is my very first AI and for me, this works magical. However it might leak, and might be lot of better ways for these and maybe some triggers you can think of work. I think I've clearly explained what my triggers do.
I do know that these trigger apply for global variables, like the Doktor is already inside the game and each trigger just picks it up. I intend to make 5v5 small arena map with them, and I would need more sophisticated methods and triggers for picking them individually. I'm sure you can think of ways to do this, hence there might be 1 Doktor in each team and if these are the triggers they will go, I need to pick them individually.
Also, I lack two things. I want bots to buy recipe-items and not unfairly pick every target on the map and check if its enemy, visible and attack it. I want to make a sort of team work trigger, where multiple bots will decide to go middle or enemy base and work-fight with their triggers as a team. I have no freaking clue how to make this, any help is appreciated and I know that many people have tons of experience with AI.
Thank you for reading and bothering...

Hence he has two spells that enhance survivability (Steroidi - Inner Fire; Koktelce - Rejuvenation) he will first try to cast Rejuvenation when he has life/mana lower than that required. Now this works this way, if hes mana is 60 or greater he will use to cast Rejuvenation, because it heals for 200 and returns 50 mana. But if he has more mana he will first Inner Fire itself then if needed cast Rejuvenation.

I didn't know other way than at every 18 seconds to tell the Doktor to cast Starfall. As you can see hence this spell is channeling, I turned off all triggers that cause the unit to just go move, attack or cast another spell and applied a timer to return the turned off triggers back to normal.
