help with usin AI

[takakenji]

i need help with using AI

using the world editor's normal AI maker, i made an ai. i then made a trigger to assign it to a certain computer player, but the computer dosn't do anything in game.

i've tried checking for tutorials but they havn't taught me anything except what i already knew, or give any insight on how to fix the problem

could anyone more experienced with AI help? i dont get why the Ai dosnt do anything

First you need to apply the AI and then create units for it. It won't know what to do with any other units.

Although I must note that sometimes the AI editor is simply stupid. The attached AI also sometimes shows that.

EDIT: A fancy little AI that I made some months ago.

i tried copying your ai trigger and then using it in my map, of course replacing your ai with my ai. the computer, though, still dosn't do anything at all. i've checked by AI build order and theres nothing wrong or unbuildable which would make the ai freeze

Have you imported the AI file?

 

[takakenji]

yes ive imported the AI script into the map and i'm using it in the trigger

Note that this AI uses a slightly customized techtree, so it tries to create zombies after building a crypt.
I just realized that the .ai script tells less than .wai, so here is .wai
It's zipped because .wai files are not allowed directly.

i still have literally no idea what could be going wrong, it's still not working

heres my .wai file and the object editor data

I looked at them and tried things for over 40 minutes and couldn't figure out. It's probably something very little that breaks the AI.

 

[takakenji]

are there any examples so i can try to figure it out?

I bet the problem is small, so I'd suggest slowly rebuilding the AI from zero and every once in a while check if it works. When you reach the point where it doesn't work, then you'll probably know what's wrong.

ok, i was able to get the AI to work, but it was actually on your raging streams map.

but, when i tried this again, on a completely flat empty map i randomly made, it didn't work

i don't get it at all, is there anything special in your map?

or is it the gold mines? are gold mines required for Ai to work? (as both my maps didn't have them, but yours does)

edit: i was finally able to get it to work. though, i still have no idea what the problem even was, as i remade my AI and it's pretty much identical. oh well, thanks for the help anyway and atleast it's solved. i repped you

My AI tries to build zombies from a crypt, that's all there is to it. I thought it would be so fun if they could use zombies.
