Hellow worldbuilders

So I have this heroes vs waves map.. I want to make the AI smarter by putting them on tactical spots or let them heal etc.
But here is the problem 'How can I tell the engine only to do certain commandos =if= the player is not controlled by a human but for example a hard computer'.

[JUS_SAURON]

I am no pro Scripter but The Player 1 folders are for Both AI and Human Players
While the Skirmish Folders handle Only AI stuff

Eg in SkirmishMordor : If this player is being attacked do this Script etc...

This will only be carried out by the AI SkrimshMordor

Something like : In SkirmishMordor Folder ect

If this player is starting position 1 THEN

Have you looked through the IF conditions? I have a feeling there is a simple condition which discriminates between human and non-human players like that.

[Goldtouch]

Plz go look for yourself. Let me know if you know it ^^

[Lauri]

Or you could try to look yourself, since you're the one asking for help...

[Puzzler33]

Ok I decided to have a quick look through and I couldn't see anything, so just try JUS_SAURON's suggestion. It might turn out that using those folders only applies to single player mode (just a suspicion), in which case look through worldbuilder yourself for solutions, make certain spots only for (scripted) AI players or just decide that tactical markers (or nothing at all) is good enough.

I got WB scripts to recognize whether the player is human or computer controlled. Cannot remember at the moment what I did. Whenever I get the chance to delve into my modding files, I'll see if I can pull it up.

[Ridder Geel]

Isnt that easy? You check if the player has one of these upgrades:
Upgrade Upgrade_EasyAISinglePlayer
Upgrade_MediumAISinglePlayer
Upgrade_HardAISinglePlayer
Upgrade_EasyAIMultiPlayer
Upgrade_MediumAIMultiPlayer
Upgrade_HardAIMultiPlayer

If he does not then its a Human At least thats what i think...

[Rob38]

Now that you mention it, that may be what I did.

[Puzzler33]

Problem solved then - I didn't think of that.

[Zdav']

*** IF ***
	Player Player 'Player_1' built Upgrade 'Upgrade_EasyAIMultiPlayer'.
  *** OR ***
	Player Player 'Player_1' built Upgrade 'Upgrade_EasyAISinglePlayer'.

	Player Player 'Player_1' built Upgrade 'Upgrade_MediumAISinglePlayer'.
*** THEN ***
  Give Unit Unit 'Treb_Lv2_1' the upgrade Upgrade 'Upgrade_TrebuchetTurret'.
  Give Unit Unit 'Treb_Lv2_2' the upgrade Upgrade 'Upgrade_TrebuchetTurret'.
  Give Unit Unit 'Treb_Lv2_3' the upgrade Upgrade 'Upgrade_TrebuchetTurret'.
  Give Unit Unit 'Treb_Lv2_4' the upgrade Upgrade 'Upgrade_TrebuchetTurret'.
  Give Unit Unit 'Treb_Lv2_5' the upgrade Upgrade 'Upgrade_TrebuchetTurret'.

Brutal AI is missing

If that doesn´t help I would look for something like if player has upgrade, instead of built

But my first guess is the lack of the Brutal AI Upgrades

[Ridder Geel]

They do not exist

I forgot to mention that it was for WB BFME 1.

I was thinking of "has upgrade" but it does not exist :(

btw thanks for the help

[Zdav']

The upgrade option was a good one, but it does not works

No more available solutions to identify AI players?

That depends if you want to make it be only a map or an actual mod. if you make it a mod, its quite easy to do...
Though you could try this...
Check for each player if they have AI_On flag set to true or not. True means its AI
Just make a script in each' player's script folder that checks for AI_On == true
if it is true then make it set a new counter or whatever like "Player_1_AI" to 1
that way you could check which of the players are AI. So you could make scripts for each player that does whatever you want for them.

Thanks for reply

Unfortunatly, actually it s for a map without ini modifications, ive did a multiplayer one, and i wanted to create an AI version wich one is a little improved, like managing gates, build buildings and upgrades...

I saw if add AI in "player list" that AI scripts appears as 'imported scripts" in scripts section, so there is diffenrent kind of AI and i don't know what to use, and what can i do with.

Btw take a look to my map: Middle Earth

[Ridder Geel]

I think if you do what i told up there, it might work, because those things are defined for each AI, so it should work.

[Puzzler33]

By the way, are you certain that the problem with the script is the IF conditions? You might just want to add the THEN consequence of creating a beacon in the middle of the map at the top of your THEN list to make sure it isn't the upgrade to the unit that isn't working. Not that there is a strong possibility that this is the case, it just seems logical to rule out that possibility.

If you simply can't find a way to do this, maybe it would work to trap a named unit in a box of ground impassible for human players (passible in the middle where the unit is) - hopefully AI players would use that unit and it would move out of the box and human players wouldn't be able to, thereby creating a possibility to differentiate between AI and human (albeit crudely). This might even work outside the visible map, making any humans blissfully aware of their trapped comrades.

It works perfectly!

Thanks a lot for your advice.

And good work for your mod!!! I haven't played BFME/ROTWK for years, but since i discove your mod it is one more reason for me to install it again .
