hello all
sometimes, when i get tired of the messy battlenet play, i like to do a 2 v 2 or a 3 v 3 or a 4 v 4, in the following set ups:
2 v 2 ---- me and 1 computer vs 2 other computers
3 v 3 ---- me and 2 computers vs 3 other computers
etc
you get the idea....
however, one of the ugly things is that i cannot properly coordinate with a machine in same way i can with a human beeing.
i ve been in the nasty situation of getting pulverized by the other cumputer team and i see my computer ally just wondering like a headless chicken in his base, with full army .... instead of jumping to my aid.
i ve been trying for 3 hours to make a trigger to do one of the following:
a) if the human player presses that MiniMap Signal ingame ( the lower-left signal, if you know what i mean) the computer allys sends all of it's combatant units to the spot i clicked ....stays there for 15 - 20 secs etc, then moves on about his bussiness
b) if the human player is under attack by the enemy, and i press a key, the ally computer immediately tries to come to my aid with all his combatant units
imagine all the miriad ways the a) possibility could be used ...
- making a computer ally hold his attack abit longer till you also get ready
- making him come to your assistance
- pinging the computer ally to go behind the enemy and dropping in from behind
- pinging the ally computer to take a heavier defended gold spot or mobs
-------------------------------------------------
but thats not all !
imagine a battlenet map with 2 v 2 games.... 1 human + 1 computer insane, vs another team like them.
this trigger would deffinately make for some lovely battles, with both human players trying to get the best of their computer allies
my friends loved the idea and told me to go through with it, as it adds a new dimension to gameplay
but so far, i ve been unsuccesfull
so...how would the trigger look like, if Player 1 ( me ) is under attack from the enemy, and pings the Player 2 ( ally pc ) to go to the spot i pinged ?
...or, at the very least, immediately come to my aid, if my base is under attac ?
P.S. i know by default a computer will try to defend ally bases if they are attacked, but they do NOT always do that ...
many thanks
