AI melee map problem

[Gandalf7000]

Can someone help, please. I recently made my version of Dalaran map (Stormguarde) and all worked fine at start. But then I added some changes for terrain etc. And now the AI (my allies and enemies) are building just some buildings and allies aren't training units.
Could someone test the map and help?
Thanks.

Do you have a version of your map from before the AI got messed up? If you have that, we can compare what changes may have brought this on. AI systems can be quite complex so we may not be able to locate this error.

Hello, please use more descriptive names for thread titles in future. Title changed.

In map Init, why do you run "Start melee script" for player 1 when player 1 is the player?

About "only made some changes to the terrain"..
You also did a couple of changes in the object editor, for example you replaced the Footman in the barracks with the swordsman.

The AI only knows to train the default units that are in the buildings, if you add or replace units it will NOT train those units.
So either you modify the units already in the buildings so the AI trains them, or you create a custom AI for the computers.



+ The AI's melee units can hit your sky fury towers near the bridges.

No, sorry, I don't have. I'm overwriting the map every time I save it!

Yes I know that I changed the units. I will try to replace them with footman, but I don't think that's the problem. I read somewhere that removing all mercenary camps can cause such errors with AI. In fact I removed all mercenary camps and then I put them back. Maybe that's the problem.
And plus now the allies aren't building much buildings so I don't think this is because of unit replacement.

No.. That is the problem.

The AI uses an AI script to determine which units it should train and how many of them.
It doesn't just randomly train units that it have in the barracks.

So what you need to do is to create a new AI script for your race. Like open the AI editor and open the GruntMaster.AI script and change it into your race.
