AI Problem

[Admiral Jack]

Recently i was making a Map and the Leader of Microtriggers Ent. Here comes a problem. I am making a hero defense AI. The problem with the AI is that the AI will sometimes disobey the trigger :
commands

• Unit Attaked Admiral Config AI
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions

Sometimes they will be confused of the Commands.. Please help... What me do?
Map Attached... Please check... The other triggers in my map is smooth and no leaks but the AI is my problem.....

Well, I'm not a pro with this, but from what I've heard, you shouldn't use triggers to make AI. It'd probably be a better idea to use the AI Editor. I haven't used it, so don't ask me what to do, but I'm guessing it'll be more effective and efficient that using triggers.

What's more, one of the reasons your triggers aren't always working may be because of conflict with the default AI. Modifying the AI wouldn't have this problem.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

What exactly does it do that's it not supposed to? We can't begin to guess what's going wrong without more information.

Puggsoy, the AI Editor is great for creating 'melee' (normal warcraft games) AI but triggers should indeed be used for custom maps as I'm assuming this one is?

 

[Dr Super Good]

I advise breaking the trigger apart as you currently evaluate if the player is a computer far too much than needed.

There is also a bug where because you use waits, it will evaluate some of the conditions later so it is possible that they will be valid later and so carried out. Make sure that after 1 brach runs the function ends.

Oh, OK. I guess that's cool then.

I think it's the wait functions that makes it disobey. Though I'm not sure since it's "Triggering unit".

 

[Admiral Jack]

I disabled now the Melee AI but there is still a bit problem when the Heroes life is 25% and bellow the do not retreat to the Fountain..... Please check my triggers.. I attached all the AI triggers above in a map...

Thanks Guys for the help......
I really appreciated all your help....

By the way instead of taking a screenshot of your trigger you can right click -> copy as text

 

[Admiral Jack]

Thanks for the reminder..... I forgot....

You need to get rid of the waits, like this:

Trigs

• Unit Attaked Admiral Config AI Copy 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Triggering player) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
        • (Triggering player) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
        • (Triggering player) Equal to Player 3 (Teal)
        • (Triggering player) Equal to Player 4 (Purple)
        • (Triggering player) Equal to Player 5 (Yellow)
    • ((Triggering player) controller) Equal to Computer
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • -------- Retreat --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Percentage life of (Triggering unit)) Less than or equal to 25.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to HealGroup
        • Set point = (Random point in Fountain <gen>)
        • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To point
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_point)
        • Trigger - Turn on Healers <gen>
      • Else - Actions

• Healers
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in HealGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Percentage life of (Picked unit)) Greater than 0.95
          • Then - Actions
            • Set point = (Random point in Region 002 <gen>)
            • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack-Move To point
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_point)
            • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from HealGroup
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (HealGroup is empty) Equal to True
              • Then - Actions
                • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
              • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • ((Picked unit) is dead) Equal to True
              • Then - Actions
                • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from HealGroup
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • (HealGroup is empty) Equal to True
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
                  • Else - Actions
              • Else - Actions

The player conditons could be simplified to Player number of triggering player < 6.
