A simple hero AI?

[IronForge]

Does anyone know/can link me to a tutorial/link me to a script to put in that makes heroes intellegent?
What I need to do is to make heroes in my map automatically buy items, engage the enemy, teleport/move around and retreat when necessary.

Thanks

Yea there is actually a function but you have to use custom script:

• Custom Script: "call MakeComputersSmarter( "buy items", "engage enemy", "teleport/move", "retreat if necessary" )

Hope you can get it to work!

The simple AI editor, it has the options for retreating, getting items, attacking, staying in a group or wandering off, etc.

The problem is items are custom, wonder if it will work. And won't they just sit there even if the AI editor is changed? Think its a trigger... but will check it out later, thanks

I believe the AI editor only works for melee maps...

No, you can make AIs without it being Melee, You jus have to learn how to use it.

(Don't ask me, I have no idea how to use it either but I never even opened the thing before)

I think if you want them to be "intelligent" you can use lots of triggers. JASS would work good for this. I guess the AI editor has pretty limited capabilities.

That actually works? Gotta try that.

There are many tutorials about AI (not only at Hive). Here is one, and at the end of it there are links to others.

Use MeleeAI as basic (native ability to pick items, learn skills wave system and injury condition). AI requires many conditions to do an action - since the words "think to do". AI is not simple. It's complicated. But there are no limits to improve them although JASS is very limited.
