made my first melee custom map and...

[Xirxies]

when i got to test the map everything seems to be working fine... til i go to check the computer players base to make sure they are working properly and they aren't... 5 acolytes, 1 ghould, 1 necropolis, 1 ziggurat, 1 haunted gold mine, and 1 crypt. thats all the happens no attacking or building anything. no harvesting of gold or wood. im not sure what i have done wrong. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you added a second player?

Go To "Scenario -> Player Properties"

Add A Second Player

Edit:
If you have done that, it is also important that you have the "Melee Initialization" trigger that comes with the map intact.

I've added an example map with these default settings. The computer player seems to be doing what it's supposed to do.

yea those are all set and still nothing... im not sure what it is... they build all that and then they just stand around.

custom stuff need a custom ai. if there isnt any custom stuff then the problem is simply the placement of the computer base.

Weird. I made a lot of melee maps before and I never encountered anything like this. You sure you didn't edit anything on the object editor?

Just a question, does this happen in just your map or all of the map because the possible error here is that you maybe touched the AI scripts at the MPQ; either deleted or corrupted files.

If that is not the case, you might just want to work with the AI Editor as a last resort because it is not possible for a melee AI to work unless you touched some AI Melee scripts from the MPQ
