AI bulding custom units

[DesMarekle]

Didn't find any threads related to this question really, so i'll just open this one up. If there's a thread dealing with this, please post a link.

Here we go:
Does anyone have an idea how to make the AI build custom (self-made) units? I included some new units so that they're buildable and it works fine for human controlled players, but the AI doesn't build them.

Use the AI Editor. You'll find a tutorial for the AI Editor in "General Mapping Tutorials" in the Warcraft III Tutorial Forums on the first page.

If you're making a melee-like AI then use the AI Editor. If it's more like an AoS/defense/CastleFight/other map then you're going to have to trigger it.

THW has a variety of AI editor tuts and links to other tuts. There isn't a whole lot out there on it so most of it will be trial and failure.

Start here. Be sure to read through the comments too.

Ok, i tried to go around the AI editor, but if there's no other option :/

There is but if you can't use the AI editor - I highly doubt you could code an AI script in JASS/vJASS :/

You could do it in GUI but if it's melee AI you'd only be making a simple task difficult for yourself.

Na, its mainly for the campaign

I know a lot of people are having problems with the AI to be able to use custom units/abilities. But even with the import of the custom data and such, Is there a "Lamen" way of having the AI use Custom units/abilities without the use to massive triggers or JASS (Have no idea what this is.) and be simplified for us idiots? . Some of the stuff I've read on the tutorial went WAY past me.

You can always use functions. In GUI:

• Unit - Issue Train/Upgrade Order

In Jass:

native IssueImmediateOrder          takes unit whichUnit, string order returns boolean
native IssueImmediateOrderById      takes unit whichUnit, integer order returns boolean

Hmm......Never thought of that .
