I am making a simple micro map and I want to make the Computer's AI storm better. I have Marines & Medics against the Computer's Goons/HTs, but the Computer's AI will only tell the HTs to Psi Storm if the HTs are attacked. I want to have it so the HTs storm pretty well to kill my Marine clumps. Is this possible?



None.

I want it so the HTs will storm without being attacked.



None.

The only way to make computer HTs use storm (along with many other computer-owned spells) is to directly aggravate the unit that can use the spell. I'm pretty sure you have to attack the HTs in order for them to use their spells.

Just here for the pie

From the wiki:

Quote
High Templars will counter-attack with Psionic Storm to hit any unit that attacks it. They will sometimes move to hit nearby units with a Psionic Storm. High Templars will not hit themselves with Psionic Storm unless they are already near death. Running a melee AI Script will cause the computer to use this ability more.

From the wiki article: http://www.staredit.net/starcraft/Spells_(Protoss)#Computer_Use

Computer Use
High Templars will counter-attack with Psionic Storm to hit any unit that attacks it. They will sometimes move to hit nearby units with a Psionic Storm. High Templars will not hit themselves with Psionic Storm unless they are already near death. Running a melee AI Script will cause the computer to use this ability more.

You can try using a melee AI script to improve your results, but as Demon says, the only reliable way to get them to cast it is if they're attacked.

Edit: Two times in one day. Damn you, Inferno.

I think it's best you refer to Heinermann's thread.

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
