That question is a bit stupid to ask because creating a AI is long work and specific, the best way I can say is look at the tutorials and look at the AI editor, make sure you get the Object Editor Script by going to your Object Editor, File/ Export Object Editor Data.

 

[lordsmell]

do i need jass or w/e for making one?

 

[Tau Empire]

As far as I know... no you can do it all in the AI editor.

 

[lordsmell]

sweet, umm by any chance u got a link to a good ai tutorial thing?

 

[Tau Empire]

I got a tutorial but I wouldn't call it good lol.

wow i dont get that at alll.. well i meen like the condition part i dont get what the boolean and interger ect... is

 

[Tau Empire]

A interger is basically a number of something like a number of units, a number of gold a number of food etc.. a boolean is hard to explain.

 

[lordsmell]

umm ok so for intiger do i have to make a an intiger condition for every unit and building and food, gold, lumber,(i put a trigger that gives them 5000 gold and lumber and a burrow that gives em 200 food to start out with)

 

[Tau Empire]

Interger is a condition like say Computer has 5000 gold and 2500 lumber, train 4 Knights and 3 Riflemen.

 

[lordsmell]

ok so i put in the integer thing 5000 gold then what i do for the rest like its at "5000 equal to 0" how do i fill the rest in, and btw am i basically controlling the computer? like what it does?

 

[Tau Empire]

I was giving a example, you didn't need to do something like that lol.

Honestly you have to be SUPER DETAILED specific about your map like what is the type what races is there, what you want them to do all that stuff cause honestly this is a none helpful topic.

 

[lordsmell]

here would u like to look at it?

 

[Tau Empire]

Not really cause writing a AI script is hard for me to, and is only 1 person who can figure it out and do it.

 

[lordsmell]

okkkkkkkkkkk so this is where i get confused, umm back to the races i am human and the other player,for now, is ork........................just forget it if its this much work to just put a stupid comp in then forget it, ima just work on my other map....

From the looks of it, vJass is WTFSODIFFICULT for you, but, you shouldn't give up on vJass after reading it for a couple minutes/hours/days. (I know I didn't )

 

[Tau Empire]

The thing is JASS and AI are 2 seperate things but they could act the same, and people keep saying ooo JASS is so much better than GUI, even if GUI can do the same thing JASS does. JASS is just more detailed is all, and understanding it is complex, because it's based off the C language.

 

[manstie]

ROFL? Boolean is hard to explain?! Whats so hard to explain about, it tells true and false.

 

[Tau Empire]

Man your so detailed about Booleans you think he will figure it out just by saying HAHA IT'S TRUE OR FALSE!

 

[n00byn4t3r]

He is speaking the truth though, a Boolean basically returns 1 or 0 (AKA True or false).
But people without knowledge about programming/scripting/map making will probably not understand.

 

[Tau Empire]

1's and 0's are ON and OFF, but True or False, but what is True or False that is the question. Cause it's not everything.

 

[lordsmell]

exactly, what am i saying that is true or false?
