channel

[danacm]

Hy!

I have a question about channel based custom abilities. If i modify the base order id and order string use/turn on, the malee ai will use this spell or not?

I found a list the spells which has the malee ai use, but if the channel modified is it works?

Cause i created a custom malee ai, but i wanna to create a channel based ability if the ai can use it.

well I think ai is ordered depending on the order id of the spell

I'm not sure but try it out on a melee map with a human computer with channel based abilityes.

IMO the ai will use your channel based ability if its order id is blizzard for eggsample
like he has a blizzard spell and not your channel based spell

if your channel based spell should target a unit and it has the blizzard order id
it's possible that the ai will target the ground anyways
But you better to try it out


#EDIT: no... ai won't use any channel based ability (checked)
you have to trigger their original spell (those can be modified)
melee ai only uses spells default to theme (High Wizard --> blizzard , water elemental , brilliance aura , mass teleport

if you give a hero an ability (auras too) not default to it, won't learn the spell

Just to precise the thing :

The learning of heroes' spells are coded in the melee AI script while the using of them is totally hardcoded.
So if you give a hero an ability not default to it and then make the hero learns it by trigger, you won't have to make the hero uses it by trigger (it will be used normally).

So if you make the ai's hero learn or directly give him the spell
ai will use it even if it's not the hero's original spell?

Yes, as long as the AI handles the ability (which is the case for most abilities).

yes, though they are also subjected to the default AI mechanism... like for example, AI's I believe only cast AoE spells when there is 3 or more target...
