Computer AI

Hey guys, I made a new RPG map thats kinda like Crash RPG ( most ppl have played ) it has the same layout and same style. I have the computer spread throughout the whole map buildings and all. But i had to set the AI script to Allways --> Run AI script BW-Zerg Campaign INSANE at "anywhere" and the drones gather 1 set of minerals each.. then do nothing for the rest of the game. I dont under stand. they build an overloard or two if you kill some. But at the start they rush the Human units with Lings and hydras, then chill and do nothing for the rest of the game.. Did i do something wrong? Or did i give the computer to many buildings? If i did then thats gunna suck.. cause all other RPG games the computer AI runs really well.

Any help would be appreciated

 

As well I think i did the location wrong since i set it to "anywhere"

 

Try to create multiple locations, one per main hatchery. Then do the same set of triggers for each location. Should fix it

 

With the exception of Area Town scripts, only one Campaign AI script should be run for each player. Each Campaign AI Script is associated with a Location. This Location must be centered near a source of Minerals and a source of Vespene Gas.

Campaign AI scripts are designed to start with an advantage over the player in initial resources and units. They will attempt to wear down players over time. They do not expand aggressively and perform best if supplied with enough starting resources to build through the technology tree (roughly 6000 each of gas and minerals).

Custom AI scripts are designed to start with the same resources as other players. They expand to gain new resources and attack players aggressively. Only one Custom AI script should be run for each player. They should not be used with Campaign AI scripts.

If you would like further information detailing with the use of AI scripts, please have a look at Blizzard's official StarCraft Campaign Editor F.A.Q page located here.

 

Alright, thank you guys!

Ill let ya know if it works.

Would like a map tester maybe for my map

im on US East

 

Username and channel?

 

Archaicdrago US east
And im usually in OP archaicdrago

And my AI script is

Allways
-------------------------------
Execute AI script "Zerg Expansion Custom Level" At "COMP AI"


And all the drones Mine once then dont move... No building overloards no nothing... its weird
And the COMP AI location is over minerals and Gas and a Hatchery

 

There is your error already. You are using a Custom AI script instead of a Campaign AI script. The Custom AI script expects to start with nothing just like in a melee game. You should stick to using a Campaign AI script for your map especially since you have pre-placed structures and units:

Note that you should probably add in this trigger as well:

Let me know how it goes!

 

Okay, ill give it a fast run through and see how it goes.

And how can i post my Map here? for ppl to D/L

 

Well the AI now builds an Overloard. and upgrades "burrow" and teaches upgrades.. But the drones still mine once and they stay still and dont do ne thing. :S

 

You can either upload it to the forum (I think) or just use a file-hosting site like mediafire (google it).

 

Done and done!

 

Can you send me a link to your map? I would like to take a look and address the problem for you.

I found your map link and have came up with this solution:
NOTE: Add/Modify the items marked in yellow to your already existing triggers.

This trigger sets up the Campaign AI script to run constantly.

This trigger reacts to the "switch" being enabled and activates the Campaign AI Script.

 

the "anywhere" location could be a problem tho, let me fiddle with this

welcome back imagine!
(im scared now )

uhhh... wheres the map link?

EDIT:
i see your problem
if the zerg are the enemies and they rushed the first wave, youll see that all of their drones are gone
the AI script usually starts with the drones, without that, AI is screwed, i suggest you just build all
of their required buildings and add few more drones

usually, this doesnt happen with toss or terran

and make sure if youre running an AI script (BW insane, etc) that the location is specified and large enough and covers the whole building area (or anywhere, that could work).

ill test more things for this

EDIT2: okay, problem is that they dont produce workers...ill see how to get around it

 

I created it in this same Thread its called Wave Survivors RPG its right below this Topic in the Maps and Relays



Awesome! thank you very much "Imagine", Im at school at the moment.. ( stupid college -.- .........) lol But ill be home later on to fix it.. BUt as my first completed RPG.. Its ok tho isnt it??

Well thing is i have the Location over a few buildings Gas and Mins spot.. They also have 28 drones or more even... Its weird ive never seen a AI juss mine once then do squat from that point on..

 

It seems that the "Anywhere" location works best with an Insane AI script. When you do get home to your dorm or wherever your living quarters are, try making the modifications I suggested and see how your map runs before anything else. I would like to know if it solved your problem!

Thanks for the welcome back Ursa, appreciate it!
Thinks to himself, he has only delayed his demise!!!!!

 

Im makeing the trigger but what do i put with the
Kill all...

and i have 4 terran beacons cause i use a terran beacon for the upgrade area


EDIT: NVM im a retard..... Existing trigger lol i started to make a new one >.>

 

can i have a link to the map?

And even if more than 1 person helps they can learn from each other and i get to see different opinion of doing triggers. All in all it works.

 

i cant dload, i wonder why... can you reup on mediafire.com?
( imagines back.... that means i cant rule the maps section ..... fiddle with my ums maps for a while imagine)

okay, i see your problem (still cant dload your map)
well, i fiddled with the AI and set all build time to 1 for research purposes

imagine is right, the "anywhere" location should do the trick, if not, let me know
(imagine is good.... my career is over)
