AI Editor is a Pain

[DeeperUnderground]

I never really used the AI Editor before. I went through many tutorials, but I still don't understand why the results of my work fail all the time. Whenever I create an attack wave, it only does it once. It does nothing at a loop. Not only does it just commence the attack wave with just existing units or units that are trained, but it will do everything only once. The AI does not repeat itself.

Now, I have seen ridiculous sources suggesting that no one knows how to help those who have problems with the AI Editor. How can no one know how? Warcraft III has been around for thirteen years now, and yet nobody knows or have bothered to help? I'm trying to create a campaign AI, and nothing is working right.

Did you add a value at the repeat waves? Or maybe they only do it once because they don't have enough "gold" or "lumber" to build structures and to trains units.

Also you're on the wrong section.

No, I wrote a trigger that gives them plenty of gold and lumber, and an abundant amount at that; and they are harvesting more supplies.

Try Jass AI instead. AI Editor isn't good.

And where exactly is Jass AI, and where can I find it?

You can also take a look at WarCraft's campaign AI.


Have fun.

Okay. I'm sorry, but this is not helping. I can't access the campaign AI because it's not in .wai format. Also, the value where I repeat the waves is on 1. Is there a way to repeat the attack waves at an infinite loop?

 

[Sclammerz]

How many attack waves do you have?

You need JassCraft to access Campaign AI.

Is there a download link for JassCraft?

This is not going to work. I can't use JassCraft because it's full of viruses. There has to be a way to program an AI. What about trigger functions and commands in the Trigger Editor. Is there anything there that can work?

 

[Daffa]

It's a false positive from antivirus.
Try download JassCraft from http://sourceforge.net/projects/jasscraft/ and see if it still brings the same false positive.

Looked at the link. There are no files to download.

How about creating your waves via triggers? It doesn't address the IA issue per se, but at least you'd have full control over the waves, what type of units they're made of, how many of them, etc, with simple triggers.
