[General] Variables, Events, Regions, & Conditions

[Vikus]

I've done plenty of searching, and nothing has answered my question, so I'm going to ask here. On all answers I tried to comprehend, nobody was very clear from the other topics, so please be very thorough with your answer if you have the time to do so.

Firstly, I would like my AI Hero to cast a spell (For example, Holy Light), based on how much health he has. The hero is a unit that is created, and is not pre-placed.

The event Unit - Life requires that it be a preplaced unit. I have done all of my unit variables correctly, and it works with neither unit nor array.

There are no condition values in Integer to detect the life or mana value of a unit.

I cannot set an integer variable to be the life of a unit and then check that.

I've ran out of workaround ideas. How do I perform an event based around the life of a unit that has already been created and cannot be preplaced? The variables don't work, they just don't.

My other issue is checking whether or not units are in a region/rect. I would like it to happen so that my AI Hero, upon entering a creep region that already has dead creeps (They respawn, but I do not want him to sit there for 30 seconds and wait) to immediately move away to another area.

I have not been able to find a solution to checking if there are already units in a region, only if they enter or exit, and no condition appear to exist that I can see.

How can I check this? It has been said in other topics that using unit groups were unsuccessful and leaky.

Basic idea:

Hero enters region. If no creeps are in region, (This needs to be detected), he goes somewhere else.

EDIT: I am reluctant to attach the map as I'd rather not spoil my work, but if I have to take the measure in order to receive help, I'm willing to do so.

So you want the AI to cast?? And move?? You can use my AI system for the moving part. Also I believe that there was a life condition.

I'm already developing an AI system. It's not a regular melee AI, however. The map is styled to be a hero arena.

Can you please give me the life condition?

 

[shinji]

See the AOS AI System under the approved one? It could be useful for hero arena too...

About the life conditions... I'm in my phone right now... But I believe that it was real -> unit -> unit property

• AI Heal
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in HeroGroupAI and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Percentage life of (Picked unit)) Less than or equal to 50.00
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Human Paladin - Holy Light (Picked unit)
          • Else - Actions

Assume that you have a global variable of Unit Group name HeroGroupAI and once an AI is created in the map, you immediately put that hero into this Unit Group

This trigger will perform a health check on the hero unit once every 1 second
If the hero's HP is 50% or below, it will cast Holy Light on himself.
