I want to order AI to buy certain hero in tavern

[JoHnyW]

Hi, as threads says I want to order AI to buy certain hero at tavern, at the start of game and maybe later too.

Exactly the problem is that i'm working on footy frenzy AI and already made script in which computer player should buy heroes, upgrade tier, buying upgrades etc. (i have changed game constants etc.) but I know I need to write AI using triggers or jass. Script I got already makes AI to attack enemy with footies and return to base as footies got low life but it's way of playing is very lazy and unagressive like in meele map so i will have to change it later, but for now I want AI at least to buy hero in tavern at the begining game, in tavern there is unit called "random hero" which spawns random hero from heroes array so i just want ai to always buy "random hero" and then see how it plays with hero etc. test it against players.

Could you help me ?

Why don't just create Hero for AI and cost its gold/lumber ??
In short, makes the illusion. Let players think AI buy hero, actually, the hero is being created by trigger.

okay, but if so I want hero to be created only if player is ai, and take gold from him the same time, but anyway I want to give ai possibility to buy another hero in later game ...
Please help me I havent been doing trigerss and jass since few years, forgot lots of things and now I decided to write ai to my footy as part of project for university subject "Artifficial Inteligence"

          • Then - Actions
            • Set AI_Order[TempInt] = 2.00
          • Else - Actions

AI_Order is a does array Real variable.
1.00 => Buy Hero (order AI go to nearby Tavern)
2.00 => Earn gold (Killing creeps or something else)

I hope my expanation is clear :/

Okay... so I guess this trigger should work only for Player 1 Red, I have changed trigger a little but anyway it still is not working.

Despite of fact Region of Custom hero tavern 2 is quite big but I order unit of Green player to follow tavern, so there is no doubt that it enters proper region

    • Unit - Order Wisp 0053 <gen> to Follow Custom Hero Tavern 2! 0072 <gen>

Maybe the problem is in values inside AI_Order , did I misunderstood variables initialization ?

or maybe TempInt is initialized wrong ???

If you want to help me I can send you map to see everything clear and localize mistake.

thanks in advance !

Player 1 (red) is my mistaken xD, actually it should be (Owner of (Triggering unit))

Hmmm, nothing wrong with the variables.

Mine works perfectly, I think you juz forget to give AI money ?? -.- Or maybe your Random Hero has problem ??

yay ! Now it works but as you said my random hero might not be working and so it is, it spawns my unit called "random hero" without calling my hero randomization function which works when you buy it at tavern in way you know player does.

• Random Hero
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Sells a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Equal to Random Hero
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 RANDOM_HERO_ARRAY[(Random integer number between 1 and NUM_HEROES)] for (Owner of (Sold unit)) at ((Owner of (Sold unit)) start location) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Hero - Create Scroll of Town portal and give it to (Last created unit)
    • Hero - Create Jaood's Amulet of Power and give it to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Remove (Sold unit) from the game

But anyway you get some rep point from me and I think it shall work if I just paste those actions into your trigger



// EDIT

I changed trigger and now it works this way :

• kupbohatera2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters custom hero tavern2 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) controller) Equal to Computer
  • Actions
    • Set TempInt = (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • AI_Order[TempInt] Equal to 1.00
        • ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold) Greater than or equal to 1700
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 RANDOM_HERO_ARRAY[(Random integer number between 1 and NUM_HEROES)] for Player 7 (Green) at (Player 7 (Green) start location) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Hero - Create Scroll of Town portal and give it to (Last created unit)
        • Hero - Create Jaood's Amulet of Power and give it to (Last created unit)
        • Player - Add -1700 to (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold
      • Else - Actions
        • -------- ai wants to buy a hero although it does not have money --------
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • AI_Order[TempInt] Equal to 1.00
            • ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold) Less than 1700
          • Then - Actions
            • Set AI_Order[TempInt] = 2.00
          • Else - Actions

Anyway as you see it works only for Player 7 (Green) when I change it into Owner of Triggering unit it doesnt work for any player how it should do is there an easy way to make 1 trigger for all players or shall I copy and make such trigger for every single player ?

Maybe the point leak ruins your trigger. Fix it ! Leaks make your game becomes laggy when they are getting many.

Yay, this works for everyone so just use this

• Enter Region Buy Hero
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters AI Buy Hero <gen>
  • Conditions
    • ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) controller) Equal to Computer
  • Actions
    • Set TempInt = (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • AI_Order[TempInt] Equal to 1.00
        • ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold) Greater than or equal to 1700
      • Then - Actions
        • Set TemporaryPoint = ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) start location)
        • Unit - Create 1 Blood Mage for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at TemporaryPoint facing (Random angle) degrees
        • //You can create items for your computer's hero at here.
        • Player - Add -1700 to (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TemporaryPoint)
        • Custom script: set udg_TemporaryPoint = null
      • Else - Actions
        • -------- Not enough gold --------
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • AI_Order[TempInt] Equal to 1.00
            • ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold) Less than 1700
          • Then - Actions
            • Set AI_Order[TempInt] = 2.00
          • Else - Actions
            • Set TempInt = 0
