Adding AI players in-game

[morganxl]

Hello, when I am in game, I'd like to add some computer players to my map.

For example, command "-addbot 6 easy" creates a computer player with id 6 and easy difficulty.

So the func would look like

function AddComputerPlayer takes integer id, string ai_level returns nothing
// what should be the content of this function??
endfunction

What should be inside this function ?
Or maybe I should use something from common.j / blizzard.j ?

Check out the melee game functions, they have it in them somewhere.

Do you mean you want to make a player originally controlled by a user to be controlled by a computer?

there is no convert player to AI function. Either you code a custom AI or use a existing AI (only works in melee maps)

I do agree with Chaosy. If you are trying to make a map that is not melee you will have to create your own custom AI Script for the original one as far as I now only works for Melee type of maps.

And when you created the AI Script, just add them to Bots when those specific commands are typed though I dont know how will you add it.

Custom AI is already in the map (it's not a melee map).

What I'm asking is: how do I add a bot (computer player) onto a previously unoccupied slot after the map has already been launched in wc3? (through jass)
