[Spell] Melee AI questions and alternative Melee AI (except AMAI)

[fllwr9141]

I would like to know is there some existing solutions/building blocks for improved custom melee AI (for a less fragile build sequence and native bug workarounds).

I took a look at AMAI, however I consider it not good for custom melee and would like to look for others.
(AMAI overfit into Melee rules/not designed for customization (beyond some priority values), implementing questionable routines in AI script, doing tricky behavior (with no doc) and with questionable engineering.)

And some AI script questions:

1. How to communicate between AI script and trigger?
   1-A. How to send message from AI script to trigger?
   1-B. Trigger CommandAI() only sends two integer at once, is there anyway to send payloads more efficiently?
2. Is there a list of known working common.j APIs in AI context? (AMAI is a useful source in this aspect)
3. Is it possible to write log in AI context?

I'm not sure if you can directly call any triggers from an ai script, but you can definitely call DisplayTextToPlayer(whichPlayer, 0, 0, "Message here") in an ai script.

This is the tutorial I used to start learning AI. It's fairly comprehensive.
