Night Elf AI

[Zoldam]

I am making a custom Night Elf AI, and when it starts up three of the wisps stay behind and do nothing, I am guessing that those three are looking for a gold mine as normally the AI sends three to mine gold, however, the AI isn't scripted to send any workers for gold (As it's a CP based map). Does anyone know any way to fix this?

Sometimes this happens in melee games (me vs computer) the wisps dosent go to the gold mine instead they sit there and do nothing. You should try to move the gold mine a little away from the tree of life

I know what you mean, but as I said, that's not the issue. The issue is that three of the starting wisps won't gather lumber. My map is command point based so it has no gold mines, which isn't a problem as when making the AI you can tell it what workers should harvest what.

I put wisps ONLY on lumber, which means they *should* all gather lumber, and build buildings as necessary, however, three wisps, despite not being told to harvest gold are sitting there as if looking for a gold mine.

Is this using default AI or one you made?

you can add a trigger to make those wisps do what you want them to do. For example, if u want all wisps to harvest lumber u can do a trigger that selects all units of the type wisp and do harvest lumber

One I am making, but I'm not new to it, I didn't have this problem when I made an AI for the Humans and Orcs.

you can add a trigger to make those wisps do what you want them to do. For example, if u want all wisps to harvest lumber u can do a trigger that selects all units of the type wisp and do harvest lumber

Would they still build things though?

No, usually the 3 wisps that harvest lumber dont go to build things , they stay all game in the mine, so dont worry about buildings cuz the wisps who supposed to harvest lumber are the ones who build things.

How would I trigger harvesting lumber for those particular wisps then?
