Q: Guiding the computer's Hero's flight

[Fisherking]

Hi.

When my computer controlled heros reach low life they correctly try to flee from the battle. Yet they always pick some random direction and stop fleeing if they are out of the attack zone.

My map has a life regeneration building in each camp and I want my computer players to flee towards that building.

Anyone know how this can be done.

(My best bid so far is to revive them with a Scroll of Town Portal)

Thanks in advance

the only solution is using triggers to override what the AI is doing. what are you like with triggers, can you figure this one out or do you want more help?

Yeah I thought as much as doing it with triggers.

I selected Unit's life less than ...

But I can't seem to select my computers Hero to the Unit slot.

I tried making a variable named ComputerHero with a unit value. Then adding a players Hero to that value if that player is a computer.

But still no variable is relative when trying to select the Unit in Unit's life less than.

Sincerly

Ok.

Worked some more on the matter. Gotten this far:

Computer Retreat
Events
Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Is attacked
Conditions
(Player 1 (Red) controller) Equal to Computer
(Life of (Triggering unit)) Less than or equal to 50.00
Actions
Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To (Position of Base 0046 <gen>)

Still not working to my total satisfaction.

Wish there was an event trigger like:

When a unit owned by Player 1 flees order triggering unit to ...

Use the AI editor, and uncheck "ignore injured".
Unfortunatly, although I do know how to save the AI changes and import the AI file, I can't use it.
