Does anyone know how to make the melee AI or whatever AI is used act like it is on an island (like on the map “Debris Field”) but on any map etc…??? Is their like flag or triggers or something and I know if you put an AI on an island with no one else they will act like they are on “Debris Field” but I went them act like that with other people and AIs on their island too and when there not on a island also etc... Help With This Please!!! Lastly does anyone know how to make an AI that is on an island help a teammate if it has units etc?
This is not perfect but it will make the AI(s) act like it’s on an island… so I trick the AI using regions, playable map area and AI initialize triggers etc…
Step 1: On the map add region(s) that cover the start location of each AI that you want to effect.
Step 2: Go to the triggers module and make a new trigger and make the event (Timer – Elapsed time “1.0 game seconds”) do this for each AI you want to effect. Also please note that each subsequent trigger I made I change the elapsed time like first one was 1.0 game seconds the next was 2.0 game seconds and so on etc…
Step 3: Move to the actions part of the trigger(s) now add a set playable map area and set the area to be the first region you made. For subsequent triggers set the area to the next region and so on…
Step 4: New add another action to the trigger (Init Melee AI) and set player to be each AI you want to effect.
Step 5: Start a new trigger and change the event to Timer – Elapsed time “5.0 game seconds” just make sure this trigger fires/runs last. Go to actions part and add a new action (Set Playable Map Area) and set it to be the entire map.
So when you are done each trigger one for each AI will have a Timer – Elapsed time, set playable map area and an Init Melee AI except the trigger that set playable map area to be the entire map (and you want the triggers to run one at a time… which is why you will need change the elapsed time). That its and I have only try this on one map (and the map I tried this on was “District 10” too) so for it has worked for me. If you need help finding something in regard to the triggers let me know.
Just a possible clue to tell the AI without tricking it:
It looks like the required AI state is e_mainState_OpenAir0, which I believe is equivalent to the number 8. So try using the Set State action in triggers to change the AI's state to 8, after initializing it. Let me know if that helps.
It did something still not working right… So ok it say “Sets the state at index _ for player _ to state _” what number should I put for index and I should put 8 for state right??? Also were/how did you find that info on the AI? Lastly thanks for trying to help.
Update! So it looks like by having the index at 1 it will work. And it looks like using 8 is very easy, 9 is easy, 10 is normal, 11 is hard, 12 is very hard and 13 is insane so… using one of the numbers 8,9,10,11,12 and 13 for state will set the difficult it looks like for the AI doing an air opening but I’m still testing it out and trying to see what works and does not!
I'm in the StarCraft II Heart of the Swarm Beta and does anyone know how to make this work in the beta as doing the some thing in WoL is not working at all. Help Please anyone!!!
