My AI just stands at its base and does nothing

[pavlo kozlenko]

Hello everyone! I wanna make a SP map for just only me (playing with bots). Problem is with bots (i pin map). They just stand at their base and do nothing. I tried placing wards everywhere and applying the visible modifier, but it didn't have any effect. The result only happens when one bot's farm sees another bot's farm, and only then do they send troops there. Please help.

your AI is stuck at target priority #1 - it never finds enemy base

// Target Priority #1
if (target == null) then
    set target = GetEnemyExpansion()
    if (target == null) then
        call StartGetEnemyBase(  )
        loop
            exitwhen (not WaitGetEnemyBase()) // <-- this is never true, so loop never exits
            call SuicideSleep( 1 )
        endloop
        set target = GetEnemyBase()
    endif
endif

I don't know how exactly AI evaluates what base is, but it seems that you need to give your base buildings the "Town Hall" unit classification. After I did that the AI eventually started attacking.
