I have no idea how to order an Bot to use Taverns/Shops, but it can be solved with Triggers.

If this is for the selection of a custom game with picking a hero at the Start, you could add all Hero-types into an unit-typ array and then create them after Human-Players picked or after a time expired.

If you want to make Heroes unique you can then use the Player - disable Training/construction action and you'll need an boolean array, to capture the allready picked Hero-types. At creation for bot hero's you need to consider the already pick situation.

Pro Hint - use the Object Editor datafield - "Pointvalue" to give any Hero-Type a Number, will allow more easy determination.

This will allow you more easily to create Random button btw.

Pointvalue do what basically?

 

[Tasyen]

Some melee-score stuff as i know. So it shouldn't hurt to use it for indexing

So how to use the pointvalue of hero? have any example?

• Initialisierung
  • Ereignisse
    • Map initialization
  • Bedingungen
  • Aktionen
    • -------- They need the same numbers at point-value --------
    • Set Hero_Type[0] = Paladin
    • Set Hero_Type[1] = Erzmagier
    • Set Hero_Type[2] = Bergkönig

• Pick
  • Ereignisse
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Bedingungen
    • ((Triggering unit) is a Hero) Gleich True
  • Aktionen
    • Spielergruppe - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Schleifen - Aktionen
        • Player - Make (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) not avaible for training/construction by (Picked player)
        • Set Hero_Type_picked[(Point-value of (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)))] = True

That way you have an easy indexing for hero-types and if they are picked.

Those heroes need the same number in the point value? example all are 1?

And...What if i want to make it can have all pick and random? will it random the hero that is been picked?

 

[Tasyen]

In the example

• Paladins Value =0
• Archmage =1
• Mountain king = 2

They need the same number inside Object Editor- DataField PointValue.

 

[Tasyen]

For Random, well you need somehow to get avaible Hero Indexs.

Spontan i can think about two ways
1. loop through all Hero-Types and add all avaible to an int-array (some type of stack), remember the last number and than pick a random Index out of the stack. This is the hero.

2. Do a get Random Hero-Index. Redo that if Hero is unavaible.

Ohh, by the way i figured it out how to make random heroes for AI already. Thanks for your Help!!

 

[Tasyen]

You are welcome.
