[Trigger] put computer player ingame.

[wuss15]

i are working on a systeam where if there is 5 or less players ingame it make a dialog and ask if they want to place some computers players so they get more players ingame.

i have made the dialog but now i need to make the action there put computer players in the game at a random starting posistion.

i have looked arround and i don't have an any idea how to make this.

i hope any of you could help me with this

best regards

Mh i don't think you can add players after the start?!

You could make the map for 12 players and ~4 computers and remove them if the game starts normal but let them play if the humans want that.

But I am not completly sure..

hmm, i guss i could do that.

Well I'm not that great but here goes:

You need triggers that control the computer anyway right? (The AI) So why not just have them initially off and when the players press Yes on the dialog box or whatever it is you have (when you want to add the computer players) why not just make the action for that:
Turn on AI triggers? Anyway I think I've got it the wrong way but good luck anyway.

 

[wuss15]

well, yes, because i use the normal AI i havn't made the AI my self. just need to enable the computer with start troops on the map.

 

[wuss15]

it works now but my new problem is that i need some kind of AI for the computers.
they gets ingame but the aren't moving, i just need them to do as they would in a normal game...

For the normal Game AI - make sure that the CPU Players get Gold and Wood if they "joined" your game and than use:

• Melee Game - Run melee AI scripts (for computer players)

and the CPU's should have the normal AI

i know they should, but they just standing still :S

they have ress units and then i put the 'run AI' on but they still only standing still :S

Öhm, sry but atm I have some brainlags. So simply you got 5 Players or less. Then the players can open a dialog, where they can choose, if they want to add a CPU Player correct?

Because if you want run the normal AI script you NEED! this triggers first:

• Melee Game - Create starting units (for all players)
• Melee Game - Set starting resources (for all players)

Problem would be ( I guess ) - this trigger are for ALL Player, even for those, who are alrdy in game. Just create a custom AI and use this for the "joined" CPU Player - and with custom AI, you can create random AI - always new gameplay

 

[wuss15]

im not so much in with the AI how do i made custom AI?
you have a guide or tool i can use as beginner?

i would like if any one could tell e how tod o this

 

[wuss15]
