[JASS] GUI-AI Interfacing

[Elf_Lord]

Hey, everyone! I have a pretty simple problem that probably has a pretty simple solution, but my knowledge of JASS is exceedingly limited and I haven't been able to find any information online to help me figure it out. I am currently working on an AI for a map in my campaign that is supposed to determine which player to attack by referencing a GUI-generated player variable called StrikeTarget, which changes over time. So far, I have been unable to make the AI properly retrieve this variable and the AI simply fails to send attack waves; it does, however, continue to function properly in every other way. If anyone can explain to me the best way - or just a working way - to make the AI retrieve that variable properly so I can finish my AI, that would be fantastic. Thank you in advance for your time!

Are we talking about a AI made int he AI editor or an custom made AI with jass/gui?
pretty important detail

Custom-made with JassCraft, but it's a pretty basic AI. Mostly it's just suicide waves.

Have you tried sending the index of the player in the Command function (I think?) to the AI? That would help the AI figure out which player to attack.

Hmm... I haven't tried that. I'm not sure what that would actually do, but my fear is that I wouldn't be able to sync it properly. I like the idea, though. Let me try that real fast and we'll see how it works.
