You should explain the problem so people will help you. You are not even explaining the main problem

 

[Daffa]

Can you get more specific?

 

[Xerxes]

Could you please elaborate more on your problem? Not a lot of people will be able to help you if your problem's statement is vague.

Btw, it is really, really vague.

 

[Binsu]

Well, his problem actually is that I reported him bug that the custom race in his game Forsaken is bugging... the Forsaken AI is bugging. After it builds 2 Ziggurats and 1 Crypts, it will do nothing after that but just gather gold and lumber.

I am not really that experience in AI and AI Editors so maybe you guys can help him =)

 

[Xerxes]

I'm not very good with AIs at all as I have always triggered them via Trigger Editor, but I hope you will find all you need in here:

Tutorial 1

Tutorial 2

^ Both for AI

 

[Vinz]

First, I found out not-so-long-ago that AI doesn't progress with its life unless it has a hero. On tier-2 units, it needs a second hero, also on tier-3 units. Maybe there's no altar for them to build.

 

[Xerxes]

^ EliTe, did you test that just now?

 

[Vinz]

Why? Last month.

 

[Xerxes]

Oh... that was a month later than what I expected it to be. But nonetheless that just added to my current AI knowledge.

Thanks EliTe!

@Original Poster have you lessen your problem so far?

 

[Vinz]

Oh and also: AI never really uses preplaced heroes. They only engage nearby enemies and flee for survival, nothing more. They don't revive it. Seeing that picture, I think that's the case.

 

[Daffa]

^yes, they need to make it from Altar, but I don't think this applies to Campaign AI.

 

[Xerxes]

I think the AI he needs is for a melee map only.

 

[Daffa]

^yep
@OP
Did you import the custom data?

 

[Xerxes]

What custom data are you talking about?

 

[Daffa]

@MT
Unit data

 

[Xerxes]

Why would he need a un- ohh... now I get it.

That's because since this is a custom race there would be custom units so hence unit data.

 

[Daffa]

Yes, AI editor doesn't use the object editor data hence you need to import them manually.

 

[Xerxes]

Okay

Thanks for pointing that out =D

 

[Yousef]

thanks to you all i have fixed the problem

 

[Binsu]

Great, so how's your map involving this one? =D

 

[Xerxes]

I think answering that question would divert this thread from the original topic since the problem has already been solved
