computer controled units thinking

[007]

Here's one way to do it

could you explain it a bit better? i dont really understand it. do i have to look in game interface?

Nope, mostly triggering. You could create a custom AI, but it is messy.

 

[007]

i dont find any trigger of that kind.

 

[Elmo]

here is one way to do it:

• Boss
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Life of (Attacked unit)) Less than or equal to (((Max life of (Attacked unit)) / 100.00) x 90.00)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Blizzard to (Attacked unit)
    • Unit - Order (Attacked unit) to Human Archmage - Blizzard (Position of (Attacking unit))

This will fire when the hp of the unit is 90%.


I also think it is possible by adding the spells to the "default active ability" in object editor

 

[007]

isnt there a way to let the attacked unit do spells randomly?

 

[Elmo]

As I said, I also think it is possible by adding the spells to the "default active ability" in object editor

I believe it will cast them randomly.

 

[007]

how can i do that?

 

[Elmo]

First open object editor > Units > your unit.

Now you will see this at the top:

And that is what you have to edit

 

[007]

no it doesnt work.

{EDIT}
i will do it the other way with triggering. but i have a question for that: can i somehow make that the unit randomly uses one of the spells? i just find to make "else" but thats for conditions but i just want it to be selected randomly.

 

[Elmo]

This will be used then. It might be leaking:

• Boss
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Attacked unit) Equal to YOURUNITGOESHERE
    • (Life of (Attacked unit)) Equal to (Random real number between 0.00 and (Max life of (Attacked unit)))
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Blizzard to (Attacked unit)
    • Unit - Order (Attacked unit) to Human Archmage - Blizzard (Position of (Attacking unit))
    • -------- You might want to wait or something, if the blizzard stops when it's removed. Don't know --------
    • Unit - Remove Blizzard from (Attacked unit)
    • -------- Eventually for random enemy within range: --------
    • Unit - Order (Attacked unit) to Human Archmage - Blizzard (Position of (Random unit from (Units within 800.00 of (Position of (Attacked unit)))))

I'm sorry but it would be much harder work to create an english trigger. copy n paste is faster

• Set Variable
  • Ereignisse
    • Map initialization
  • Bedingungen
  • Aktionen
    • Set Ability[1] = Avatar
    • Set Ability[2] = Robo-Goblin
    • Set Ability[3] = Stampede

• Trigger
  • Ereignisse
    • Einheit - A unit Wird angegriffen
  • Bedingungen
  • Aktionen
    • Set Rnd_Integer = (Random integer number between 1 and 3)
    • Einheit - Add Ability[Rnd_Integer] to (Attacked unit)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • 'IF'-Bedingungen
        • Rnd_Integer Gleich 1
      • 'THEN'-Aktionen
        • Einheit - Order (Attacked unit) to Menschen-Bergkönig - 'Avatar' aktivieren
      • 'ELSE'-Aktionen
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • 'IF'-Bedingungen
        • Rnd_Integer Gleich 2
      • 'THEN'-Aktionen
        • Einheit - Order (Attacked unit) to Neutraler Tüftler - 'Robo-Goblin aktivieren'
      • 'ELSE'-Aktionen
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • 'IF'-Bedingungen
        • Rnd_Integer Gleich 3
      • 'THEN'-Aktionen
        • Einheit - Order (Attacked unit) to Neutraler Bestienmeister - 'Stampede' (Center of (Playable map area))
      • 'ELSE'-Aktionen

But pay attention on memory leaks!!

 

[007]

i understand what you mean. just one problem: i dont know where to find everything like

Set Rnd_Integer = (Random integer number between 1 and 3)

or

Rnd_Integer Gleich 1

do i just have to look a bit better or...?

Create an integer-variable and then use action set variable =

There you'll find (cathegory mathematics) random integer
