Computer messing in my AI

[RobertMKD]

Hey, guys! I've started making AI through triggers, for Computer players in my map, but when I make a player slot to be controlled by a computer, it starts messing with my AI (I hear messages like "our town is under siege" when enemy units are near the AI Player's buildings, and it uses abilities which it shouldn't use and many other things..)..
How do I turn off the AI for Computer players so they will only be controlled by the AI I'm making...?

Are you sure you disabled the Melee AI?

 

[RobertMKD]

No, I'm not. That's my question btw, how do I disable it?

 

[Shadow Fury]

Basically it was just removing the command "Run Melee AI" in the Melee Initialization trigger but I suppose you already did that.

 

[RobertMKD]

Yes, I did, but It's still there xD alive.. xD

That's a default and hard coded AI behavior, the ability cast one I refer to.

it's a wind walk, do i really have to change every ability so the AI wont use it?

that's for spells, how do i deactivate messages like "our town is under siege" and minimap flashing?

And what do I do with the minimap flashing and sounds?

To completely remove Computer AI casting abilities you need to set them to Neutral Passive, (but that won't show the Force in Game Host Screen)

For Mini-map, I think you need to set your alliance with the Computer to "Allies".

the our town is under siege message and such seems a hardcode inside the game, if any allied player town is attacked, it will trigger after a certain timeout.

Don't count on it though, I don't run test for my theory here.

You can disable the sound by changing the value in the game interface menu ("Advanced -> Game Interface")

Guys, there has to be a simplier way.. that AI shouldn't work if I've already disabled the Melee AI...
You say I have to change all spell bases, then how did DotA's AI worked, they changed the spells of all of the heroes so the AI would work?

No.

Incorrect.

If you don't want computer players to use abilities, follow the encyclopedia linked above.

then how did DotA's AI worked, they changed the spells of all of the heroes so the AI would work?

They use a decision model

okay, i think i can deal with the spells and with the messages but what do i do with the sounds like 'Ouuur toooooooown is under sieeeege!!'??

 

[LordDz]

If it plays "Our town is under siege" then it's not the AI making that sound, it's when your buildings are under attack..

 

[RobertMKD]

But it happens only when the player is a computer.

 

[LordDz]

Are you using shared control of a player?

 

[RobertMKD]

nope.
