Melee AI for custom race

[Erkki2]

Hello! I've been trying to make my first ai. It's for a custom race (elves). For some reason it doesn't seem to work, workers begin harvesting but they don't build anything, and the player doesn't train new workers. This is how my building tab looks in the ai editor:

Town Hall            1     0/12     Any     None
Worker               1     1/12     Any     None
Worker               2     2/12     Any     None
Worker               3     3/12     Any     None
Worker               4     4/12     Any     None
Worker               5     5/12     Any     None
Training Grounds     1      -       Any     None
...

I have imported the ai and I create the starting units and start the ai with this trigger:

• Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Race of (Picked player)) Equal to Human
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Town Hall for (Picked player) at ((Picked player) start location) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Create 5 Worker for (Picked player) at ((Picked player) start location) facing Default building facing degrees
        • AI - Start melee AI script for (Picked player): war3mapImported\custom ai human.ai
      • Else - Actions

Also, in the beginning there's a message that I will be revealed to enemies, as if I didn't have a town hall. I think that might be related to this problem. The classification of the custom town hall is town hall, and I've added it to the list of town halls in the gameplay constants. I'd appreciate if anyone could help me to get this ai to work.

You have to remove this trigger :

• Melee - Set Victory/Defeat Condition

That trigger will make everything become a problem if you owns a custom race

You have to base the town hall based on the real human town hall [since you overrides human, so why not replace them instead?]

Also, seems this is a strange issue.
Let me check the tuts section

EDIT : found one http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/jass-ai-scripts-tutorials-280/ai-editor-29314/

I'd rather you made the AI fully with the Trigger Editor.

Or you could check these out:

Both tutorials.

Thanks! Now the reveal message doesn't appear anymore, but ai still doesn't build. I read those tutorials and I should be doing everything right according to them. Btw, I'm using newgen, maybe that has something to do with it?

 

[MasterTrainer]

Using JNGP won't affect your AI editor bro.

I have little knowledge of the AI editor, so if everything else fails (And I hope not,) you just have to trigger it.

 

[Erkki2]

I still haven't figured this out. It seems like the ai script isn't run at all, because I have set 4 workers to gold and 1 to wood, but computer sends them all to gold.

 

[jonhysone]

Well post the trigger that you've made ...Maybe there is a problem with leaks ---- or orders...

 

[Daffa]

^its AI not Trigger.

I presume you use AI Editor right? If so, did your map Is Altered Melee.
Also, try using normal editor instead, maybe patch problem?

 

[Erkki2]

Thanks for the hint, but I can't use normal editor anymore because the map contains some vjass triggers. Or did you mean that I would make the ai with normal editor, and import it to the map?

You have to manually make the computer use the ai through triggers. Look at my blood elves map and you'll see.

Create your ai import it into the map and then use the triggers to start it.
