AoS AI System Project (Open Source)

[Kazeon]

Hello.

I worked on an AI system for AoS maps (like dota) a while ago. Now I want to make this an open source project. The goal was to make a competitive AI that works for any AoS map, any player count, any line count, etc. I also planned to provide multiple hero traits to the system, like tanker, pusher, carry, support, etc.

But at this point it's a mere dream. As much as I want to finish this, the fact is I barely have anytime for modding lately. So I will leave this project for public.

Anyway I will list the state of this project.

The project was stopped as soon as it's "started", started to fruit in result that is, for some reason.
The AI is currently only able to "creep and retreat". But it's quite good at doing it.
The code is very nicely organized, but not documented at all.

It may sound simple and trivial. But a lot have been done to support further development.

If you are interested to continue the development of this project, I wouldn't mind to help you getting the grasp of the current codes.

The new natives of 1.29 will definitely improve the development by much, as the poor hacky approach wouldn't be necessary anymore to gather unit informations, and will be way more precise. But it'd be great not to use the new natives and support all patch versions.

Right now I have several days for modding, I will use it to update this system.

Anyway. The map file is attached below. Any question is welcome.

Blizzard cannot even get competitive AI working for Heroes of the Storm, and you want to make AI that is more generic...

Sure one can make AI that is fairly good and enough to break in new players. However ultimately humans will always be smarter.

At least if it supports the basic mechanics, it will do well.

More realistic:

function InitAI takes player host returns nothing
    call DisplayTimedTextFromPlayer(host, 0., 0., 420666., GetPlayerName(host) + "|r: shit you got me gg")
    call CustomVictoryBJ(GetLocalPlayer(), true, true)
endfunction

That's a defeatist way of implementing an AoS AI.
