Custom AI with custom units

[LordDz]

Hai, just wondered if someone has been able to create custom .ai with custom units? I'm not talking about the AI editor, but rather AI written in Notepad++, like here:
http://blizzardmodding.info/4238/how-to-make-a-campaign-ai/

However, it doesn't seem to want to recognise my custom units, so are the ids wrong, or have I've missed any magical hocus pocus?

In the script, I'm currently just trying to get them to build, they have enough resources.

globals
	player MyVictim = Player(5) //orange
	
	constant BUILDING_FOOD_CRYSTAL = n610:npgr
	constant BUILDING_towncenter1 = n61Z:ogre
	constant BUILDING_towncenter2 = o620:ogre
	constant BUILDING_altar_of_light = e608:eate
	constant BUILDING_shrineofnaruu = h60I:halt
	constant BUILDING_warrior = o61Y:obar
	constant BUILDING_warrior_tier2 = o61N:obar
	constant BUILDING_siege_tier2 = u60I:ubon
	constant BUILDING_cavalry_tier3 = u60H:ubon
	
	
	//Tier1
	constant UNIT_worker = n62O:ndrf
	//constant UNIT_scout = 1
	//constant UNIT_hunter = 1
	//constant UNIT_warrior = 1
	//constant UNIT_archer = 2
	//constant UNIT_vindicator = 2
	
	//Magic
	//constant CASTER_elder = 2
	//constant CASTER_healer = 2
	//constant CASTER_summoner = 2
	//constant CASTER_magi = 2
	
	//Tier2
	//constant UNIT_arcanestone = 4
	
	//constant UNIT_peacekeeper = 3
	//constant UNIT_immortal = 3
	//constant UNIT_kaliri = 2
	
	//Tier3
	//constant UNIT_knight = 4
	
	
	
	
endglobals

function ConfigureAI takes nothing returns nothing
	call SetSlowChopping(false) //false
	call SetPeonsRepair(true) //AI will repair
	call SetSlowChopping(false)
	
	call SetUnitsFlee(false)
	call SetHeroesFlee(false)
	call SetGroupsFlee(false)
	
	call SetHeroesBuyItems(true)
	

endfunction

function DifficultyCheck takes nothing returns nothing
    call SetTargetHeroes(true)
endfunction

function main takes nothing returns nothing
    
    //call WaitForSignal() //First time run, start harvesting, etc
	call CampaignAI (<BUILDING_FOOD_CRYSTAL>, function HeroLevels) //Set food building and hero lvling
	call ConfigureAI()
	call DifficultyCheck()
	
	
    
	//call WaitForSignal //2nd time start attacks
	call SetReplacements( 1, 2, 3 )
	InitBuildings()
	//InitUnits()
	//InitAttacks()
	
endfunction

function InitBuildings takes nothing returns nothing
    call SetBuildUnitEx( 1, 1, 1, BUILDING_towncenter1 )
    call SetBuildUnit( 6, UNIT_worker )
    call SetBuildUnitEx( 2, 2, 2, BUILDING_FOOD_CRYSTAL )
    call SetBuildUnitEx( 1, 1, 2, BUILDING_warrior )
    call SetBuildUnit( 1, BUILDING_altar_of_light )
	call SetBuildUnit( 1, BUILDING_shrineofnaruu )

endfunction

function InitUnits takes nothing returns nothing

endfunction

function InitHeroes takes nothing returns nothing

endfunction

function HeroLevels takes nothing returns integer
    local integer hero  = GetHeroId()
    local integer level = GetHeroLevelAI()
    local integer a = 0
    if hero == DEMON_HUNTER then
        if level == 1 or level == 3 or level == 5 then
            set a = IMMOLATION
        endif
        if level == 2 or level == 4 or level == 7 then
            set a = MANA_BURN
        endif
        if level >= 8 then
            set a = EVASION
        endif
        if level == 6 then
            set a = METAMORPHOSIS
        endif 
    endif
    return a
endfunction


function InitAttacks takes nothing returns nothing
    //Attack waves
    call InitAssaultGroup() // <==(1)
    call CampaignAttackerEx( 2, 3, 3, ARCHER ) // <==(2)
    call CampaignAttackerEx( 0, 1, 2, HUNTRESS ) 
    call CampaignAttackerEx( 0, 1, 1, BALLISTA ) 
    call SuicideOnPlayerEx( M2, M3, M3, MyVictim ) // How long before attacking
endfunction

There is a major bug in the Warcraft AI with the AI Editor, in that when it reaches an enemy unit and kills it, the AI will return to the base and then attack again, I wanted to see if I could create a custom ai that simply proceeds to suicide all of its forces and then rebuilds them.

That is not how you write the ids. You have to put the first 4 characters in single quotes, like this:

constant integer BUILDING_FOOD_CRYSTAL = 'n610'
constant integer BUILDING_towncenter1 = 'n61Z'
constant integer BUILDING_towncenter2 = 'o620'

E: And the type, as Flux mentioned

 

[LordDz]

Hah, awesome find
Thx.

 

[Flux]

Also where is the variable type? Should be something like this: Also, you might wanna put it in a library so you can have encapsulation.

globals
    private constant integer BUILDING_FOOD_CRYSTAL = 'n610'
    // private = cannot be accessed by other part of the code except this library
    // constant = tells JassHelper to inline the variable
    // integer = variable type
    // BUILDING_FOOD_CRYSTAL = variable name
    // 'n610' = unit type id of the unit
endglobals

Oh, that too. But remember that this is an AI, so no libraries and such.
I also suggest you use some tool, like JassCraft (just make sure you enable the common.ai from the options), to check your code.
