AI buggin' out

[Sham]

The problem is that some units aren't using ANY abilities or any tactics whatsoever. Player 2 (the enemy) uses abilities fine, but any player after that is absolutely useless. I enabled "Melee Game - run AI" just to see if that'd fix it, but still nothing. Also, I have 4 players enabled on the Player Properties tab.

Any triggers or ways to fix this? I dont need an extensive AI, I can use triggers for that, but I do need them to use abilities correctly.

- Make sure that your other players are computer controlled...
- Your abilities/custom abilities must NOT be channeled base...

AI is still funky as hell. I did manage to fix some of the problem by messing around with some buttons, but the players are on a different level. I can match up five player-2 mages against 5 player-3 mages and the player 2 mages always win, they use the abilities more often AND they understand how to focus fire down targets. So I'm still not sure wtf is up with the AI

Also, your link leads me back to the main forums in Hive.

Thanks, I appreciate the link. But again, it's not necessarily that they aren't using super special custom spells, alot of the time they just refuse to use normal spells like Chain Lightning

I think it might be because player 2 is always a computer when you test a map but players 3+ are not defined. Try testing from the actual custom game lobby inside WarCraft III after setting all slots to AI or try forcing all slots as AI using the fixed starting position flag.

it would really help if you upload the map, I know there's something wrong with your settings, coz it should work IF your player is computer controlled wchich is at fixed setting, coz even if P3 & P4 is declared as AI, if not fixed, still it has no effect...

Not sure how to upload the map...

Attach to thread or use the a link to the pastebin this site provides for a more temporary link.

Everything is working fine now, not exactly sure what I did but I scrambled through all sorts of options to allow the AI to work "decently" while just testing, the AI works just fine when it's a real game
