How to start an AI ? Detect Player slots controlled by computer

[JJhonJames]

I'm starting to create an AI. Well I didn't start yet, but I know what I'll do to command them (it's a simply deathmatch map, just order them to move around, etc, detect enemy cast skills, etc). I just don't know where to start, how to detect players that are in game and those who aren't and those who are Computer. The game starts (starts for REAL) after a dialog box button is clicked (choosing the stage). Then players will take control of a wisp (which is used to enter a circle of power, to then, choose the Hero). But the problem is to make a computer controlled slot take control of its wisp and order it to do the stuff.

You will have to use triggers.

But the problem is to make a computer controlled slot take control of its wisp and order it to do the stuff.

For example, order the wisp to "do the stuff". Yes it can get kind of complicated but that's how you do it.

Pick all players.
If player is controlled by computer set CPU_int = CPU_int+1 (integer variable)
Set AIplayer[CPU_int] = (picked player)

Then whenever you want to order all AI players to do something loop for integer A from 1 to CPU_int. And do actions.

Or if you want to order just one AI player to do something you can find it by number. Loop for A again, but this time set a condition owner of triggering unit = integer A. If true then do actions fot that player.

There is also just a condition Player controller = computer. Why not do that?
