[Solved] Campaign AI Not Working

[LemursonAcid]

Hello everyone, I followed Moyack's campaign AI tutorial and came up with this, though the computer won't create any units. I have imported the .ai file and used a trigger that starts it, so I believed there is something up with the code. I'll be thankful for any help, thanks!

globals                                                                    
  player User = Player( 0 )
endglobals

function ConfigureAI takes nothing returns nothing
    call SetSlowChopping( true )
    call SetPeonsRepair( true )
endfunction

function hero_levels takes nothing returns integer
    local integer hero = GetHeroId()
    local integer level = GetHeroLevelAI()
    local integer a = 0
    if hero == 'Nbbc' then
       if level == 7 then
           set a = 'AOww'
        endif
       if level == 8 then
           set a = 'ANr3'
       endif
    endif
    return a
endfunction

function main takes nothing returns nothing
    call CampaignAI( 'otrb', function hero_levels )
    call ConfigureAI( )
    //*DEFENSE
    call SetReplacments(99, 99, 99)
    call CampaignDefenderEx( 2, 2, 2, 'nrwm' )
    call CampaignDefenderEx( 1, 1, 1, 'nbal' )
    call CampaignDefenderEx( 1, 1, 1, 'ninf' )
    //*ATTACKING
    /*Wave 1
    call InitAssualtGroup()
    call CampaignAttackerEx( 5, 5, 5, 'nchg' )
    call CampaignAttackerEx( 4, 4, 4, 'nchw' )
    call CampaignAttackerEx( 4, 4, 4, 'nchr' )
    call SuicideOnPlayerEx( M3, M3, M3, User )
  
    /*Wave 2
    call InitAssaultGroup()
    call CampaignAttackerEx( 2, 2, 2, 'ninf' )
    call CampaignAttackerEx( 3, 3, 3, 'nbal' )
    call CampaignAttackerEx( 1, 1, 1, 'Nbbc' )
    call SuicideOnPlayerEx( M4, M4, M4, User )
endfunction

Creating AI workflow

do you have preplaced ncpn units? if not use this line
call SetBuildUnit(2, CHAOS_PEON)
are required buildings exists? Has Ai resources?
did you set computer slot and start ai like this:

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • AI - Start campaign AI script for Player 3 (Teal): war3mapImported\file.ai

Yes, ncpn units are preplaced, all required buildings are placed, the AI has plenty of resources and computer slot is set and the trigger is correct

You need to make variables for each unit type.
You can open the Chasing the Dawn campaign and check the .ai files in the w3n file. It was my reference of learning AI.

 

[Nowow]

You need to make variables for each unit type.
You can open the Chasing the Dawn campaign and check the .ai files in the w3n file. It was my reference of learning AI.

That is unnecessary, these units already have a variable name in the common.ai file:

constant integer DOOMGUARD          = 'nbal'
constant integer ORC_DRAGON         = 'nrwm'
...

If you copied your AI file as it is, I believe the problem is in these lines:

    /*Wave 1 <- this is not a comment, a comment starts with '//'
    call InitAssualtGroup()
    call CampaignAttackerEx( 5, 5, 5, 'nchg' )
    call CampaignAttackerEx( 4, 4, 4, 'nchw' )
    call CampaignAttackerEx( 4, 4, 4, 'nchr' )
    call SuicideOnPlayerEx( M3, M3, M3, User )
 
    /*Wave 2 <- this is also not a comment
    call InitAssaultGroup()
    call CampaignAttackerEx( 2, 2, 2, 'ninf' )
    call CampaignAttackerEx( 3, 3, 3, 'nbal' )
    call CampaignAttackerEx( 1, 1, 1, 'Nbbc' )
    call SuicideOnPlayerEx( M4, M4, M4, User )

    call SuicideOnPlayerEx( M3, M3, M3, User )
 
    /*Wave 2 <- this is also not a comment
    call InitAssaultGroup()
    call CampaignAttackerEx( 2, 2, 2, 'ninf' )

    call CampaignAttackerEx( 1, 1, 1, 'Nbbc' )
    call SuicideOnPlayerEx( M4, M4, M4, User )

OK, I fixed those 2 lines and the computer still does nothing

 

[ZiBitheWand3r3r]

fix these 2:
call SetReplacements(99, 99, 99)
call InitAssaultGroup()

and 2 comments, like Nowow said
use JassCraft - F9 to easy syntax check

 

[LemursonAcid]

call InitAssaultGroup()

Whats wrong with this line?

 

[ZiBitheWand3r3r]

yours:
call InitAssualtGroup()
should be
call InitAssaultGroup()
typing mistake

 

[LemursonAcid]

yours:
call InitAssualtGroup()
should be
call InitAssaultGroup()
typing mistake

OK, fixed those lines and its running fine now! Thanks for all the help!

 

[Daffa]

I would recommend JassDemo for checking and JassCraft for typing.

Or use the default AI editor function from the Wc3 World Editor.
It might not function well but it is easier.
