[Trigger] Send AI Command

[Mannoroth]

The send AI commend action has 2 parameters: (Command, Data).

I've searched the net and Blizzard files but cannot find a list of constants to be used for the Command param.

Does such a list exist somewhere? Does anyone know the possible set of values for Command and what those commands would be?

Regards

There's no standard commands unfortunately, but, if you do a custom AI (with the AI editor for instance), you can make your own "codification" and using this commands you can communicate with the AI through triggers.

Thanks moyack,

So basically it is a way to send user-defined commands to one's own AI scripts then?

How would I go about intercepting this command in my AI file and access the values I pass from the trigger? That is, if I send AI command ( 100, 40 ), where do I intercept it, and grab the values 100, 40 ?

If you make the AI with JASS AI, you can get them with the commands:

native GetLastCommand       takes nothing                               returns integer
native GetLastData          takes nothing                               returns integer

If you do the AI with the AI editor, you can use the commands only to order an attack or an specific unit building/training, with a conditional.

Ah ok. That sheds a lot of light on its usage. Thanks!
