Player Controller Change

[Bloody_Turds]

is there a way to change a user into a computer, not run ai on a user..
its basically i want computer to take over a player when they leave the game
but i want '((Picked player) controller) Equal to Computer' to fire on the player, after they leave. I could just use a different player group... but that would involve recoding quite a bit of stuff that already refrences that group..
GUI or Jass is acceptable, and im in no particular hurry

Explain, what do you mean you want computer to take over?

Assign the unit to Neutral Hostile and add Wander ability or so ?
Or you must use Custom AI Scripts

• Trigger
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • ((Player((Integer A))) controller) Equal to User
          • ((Player((Integer A))) slot status) Equal to Is playing
        • Then - Actions
          • Trigger - Add to Two <gen> the event (Player - (Player((Integer A))) leaves the game)
        • Else - Actions

• Two
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • AI - Start melee AI script for (Triggering player): map.ai

Something like this?

In case the AI is not initialized, you might do the following: Use an unused slot and set it to Computer from Player Properties (E.g. Player's 12 (Brown). Then, you can do this:

• Trigger
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • AI - Start melee AI script for Player 12 (Brown): map.ai
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • ((Player((Integer A))) controller) Equal to User
          • ((Player((Integer A))) slot status) Equal to Is playing
        • Then - Actions
          • Trigger - Add to Two <gen> the event (Player - (Player((Integer A))) leaves the game)
        • Else - Actions

• Two
• Events
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Player - For Player 12 (Brown), turn Full shared units On toward (Triggering player)

So, you share the units with Brown player, which might take over control of the leaving player's units.

What if he wants all twelve slots then what?
Nice idea though.
I thought he wanted something more then just simple AI.

By the way he said picked player not triggering.

 

[dardas]

so.. whether a player leaves, add him to an ai hashtable/index/what not.
and run the ai regulary on the indexing system/hashtable/what not.

so basicly, he can use it toward all players..

 

[Bloody_Turds]

i dont just want ai to run... thats only part of the problem..
i coded My own AI, and it uses the condition: slot status = computer, basically i want that condition to start fireing after a player leaves..., without having to just create a new playergroup... which ill do if all else fails, i tried the following:

Player Group - Add (Triggering player) to (All players controlled by a Computer player)

but that had no effect

Chances are there isnt a GUI way to do what im trying.. but either is acceptable if you happen to find one..
but im just gonna go with recoding that other stuff to use a new playergroup..., so unless someone knows the answer right off top of head, dont bother with it..

 

[dardas]

you cant add a person to a constant group!
you must create your own player group variable, then add him!

That. Since you have an AI of your own, just make a check of whether a player is in a global player group. Since you are using your own AI, it's even easier. :]

 

[dardas]

Ehh. basicly, he just.. checks if a player is in a group? xD
well that's just simple..
sry bout the ! just wanted to make it clear..
it does look odd in quote..

and what do you mean by "That"?

 

[Pharaoh_]

That = What you said, you were right :]

 

[dardas]

Oh awesome.. btw.. mind telling me whats better?

1. a textmacro with 1 function that has 28 text macros basing it xD
2. many many many functions (28 actually..)

i find textmacros easier to work with.. cuz 28 methods..
will drive me crazy..

i prefer the one that is more efficent.. so;p
(i dont know if textmacros do something bad if you use em too much.. like 7 values?)

            //! textmacro GetAndSet takes Manual, DataType, Recieves, Returns, ReturnedData, Base, Base2, ForNewMissle
            
            $ForNewMissle$static method $Manual$$DataType$ takes $Recieves$ returns $Returns$
                $Base$
                $Base2$
                return $ReturnedData$
            endmethod
            
            //! endtextmacro

and a example:

//! runtextmacro GetAndSet("Set", "Damage", "thistype id, real damage", "nothing", "", "set id.Damage = damage", "", "")

thanks in advance.

yea i figured it was a constant, i just wasnt sure.. lol, why blizz would even use constants in a 'modable' game only limits modability, although in this case there is an easy work around....
