Pets For hunters

[Da_hunter]

Basicly im trying to create a system, or find a system which will allow me to have none summoned pets which will level up along side my hero but not be contorolerble by the player. the idea was to have a range of creeps which could be tammed by the player.

Any ideas?

Your going to have to make a hero for every 'tamable' animal. Your going to have to build AI for each hero, and perhaps have a separate player for each player's pet. If I really wanted to I could spend 5 - 6 hours putting together a pretty good system for this that wouldn't require a separate player for every pet. However I really don't have that kind of time. I hope what I said will put you in the right direction.

I thought i new i'd have to make a new hero type for each pet, id or ready started that for a few diffrent types, ive tryed a couple of diffrent methods for taming the pets with one working resombly well, i havent created any types of AI before, don't realy now were to begin, is there any good tuts that i should look at. On and tanks for offering to help out with a system but i would ask you to go out of your way to create a system.

Hmm, you don't need the AI to be that complex. Just make a trigger that checks if its more then a few thousand range away from the hunter. Then if it is, tell it to Attack-Move to the hunter.

cant you just create thos pets as peons, and then make a trigger that lvls the pet wen the hero lvls(or just letting it lvl alone) and tehn to tame it you culd just change player owner of the unit. after a couple of triggers ofcourse=)

He doesn't want the player to control the unit. This makes it 10x as hard. Read more throughly please.
