Hey all.
Since one of the latest patches, the AI in Warcraft 3 cannot choose Hero spells for their heroes.
In any melee or custom map, it fails the standard AI script and somehow they don't know how to learn a hero spell.
However, if the spell is learnt, they can use it like in the old days.
That was really annoying when I wanted to practice agaisnt AI or similiar occasions.
So I did a kind of "fix".
I did some GUI and jass and it doesn't look very nice, but I made it work and you can easily adjust the settings. I made some triggers which make the AI heroes learn spells via trigger. The order in which they learn them can be adjusted, if you like to do it. I just did write it very fast, so ... no thoughts about the order.
How to use it:
I attached a trigger file to this post ('AI fix triggers.zip').
There are 2 files in it you must have both of them in the same directory!
Just download it, open the map you wanna play with AI in the World Editor. Copy that map or save it with different name to not override it.
Then go to the "Trigger"-Section in the World Editor (it is the 'a'-Symbol).
Then: File -> Import Triggers -> Choose the .wtg file (but make sure the other file is in same directory).
Save map and play or adjust the settings.
This will make a melee map marked as "non melee", because it has triggers. Anyway I did nothing else but make the computer-controlled heroes learn their spells, so they can use it.
Thank you!
PS: I also uploaded a "Secret Valley"-Version, which has this triggers, so you can try out the map first, if you wanna see if it works.
PPS: I hope it is the right section to post this, as that came with patch 1.31
