Transports and the AI editor

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Hi all,

edit, fixed it. You can let custom AI load and unload units with flying transports with these triggers (works pretty well for small harassment attacks).

Leaks fixed (atleast most of them) and triggers improved. Now works pretty well. Tested it with 7 cpu players.

Please note that I made it only for player 2 & 3 cause this was a test and that the Aurochs (& Broodmother & Overlord) is the flying transport here. Change these into your transport unit. The units it picks up are here Bionic Marine and Chemical Bot.

For those of you wondering this was for my Starcraft Hybrids map.

First loading:

• AI transport load units
  • Events
    • Time - Every 15.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Player 2 (Blue) controller) Equal to Computer
        • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • (Number of living Aurochs units owned by Player 2 (Blue)) Greater than 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 2 (Blue) of type Aurochs) and do (Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Load (Random unit from (Units owned by (Owner of (Picked unit)) matching (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Bionic Marine) or ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Chemical Bot)))))
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Player 3 (Teal) controller) Equal to Computer
        • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • (Number of living Aurochs units owned by Player 3 (Teal)) Greater than 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 3 (Teal) of type Aurochs) and do (Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Load (Random unit from (Units owned by (Owner of (Picked unit)) matching (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Bionic Marine) or ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Chemical Bot)))))
      • Else - Actions

Now unloading:
Now 2 triggers for unloading. One that checks when the transport is full moves it to an enemy base. And one that unloads its units when the transport is attacked (usually by an enemy tower).

• AI transport unload units 1
  • Events
    • Time - Every 15.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

          • Conditions
            • (Number of living Aurochs units owned by Player 2 (Blue)) Greater than 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 2 (Blue) matching (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Aurochs) or (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Broodmother) or ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Overlord of the Void)))) and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
            • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) Equal to (Picked unit)) and ((Current order of (Matching unit)) Not equal to (Order(unloadall))))) and do (Actions)
              • Loop - Actions
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • (Number of units in (Units owned by (Owner of (Picked unit)) matching (((Matching unit) is loaded into (Picked unit)) Equal to True))) Greater than or equal to 4
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Set TEMP_PointTransport = (Position of (Random unit from (Units owned by (Random player from (All enemies of (Owner of (Picked unit)))) matching (((Matching unit) is A town-hall-type unit) Equal to True))))
                    • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Unload All At TEMP_PointTransport
                    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TEMP_PointTransport)

I think it's that's because your flying transport is not based on the Goblin Zeppelin because normally with those it works well.

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

I tested it with giving the players some Goblin Zeppelins but they did nothing with them. I think the problem lies that the map does not use melee AI but instead uses AI from the AI editor. Cause normally the map has default melee AI.

 

[Malhorne]

I'm not that good in AI so i don't think i'll be able to help you furthermore in this :/

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

I fixed it through triggers (see above). Thanks for trying to help.

 

[Malhorne]

You're welcome

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

And there it is for people who had the same problem.

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Leaks fixed (atleast most of them) and triggers improved. Now works pretty well. Tested it with 7 cpu players.

 

[Malhorne]

You can post it as a ressource if it's leakless and works well
I'm pretty sure it could help some people
