UMS Compter to play like Melee Computer

Hi Guys,

Trying to make a multitask trainer but the computer does not do anything but mine with the first 9 probes it has. It does not built a pylon or attack unless one attacks it first.

I would ideally like it to be like a melee computer where it builds an army and tries to take you out. Is this possible? Also I do not want it to start off with any minerals but the 50.

Thank you.

You have to execute AI scripts at a location.

Ex: Run AI Script 'Expansion Protoss Insane' at Protoss.

The Melee AI are the Custom ones, not Insane ones.

Falkoner,

You are saying that if I use "Protoss Expansion Custome Level" It should play like on melee?

I have tried this and it still does not do it. Computers probes mine, he makes more probes but stop making them at 9/9 and does not bother making a pylon. What am I doing wrong? I've attached the map.

You have to execute the script at location 'Computer'. Keep in mind that there are 2 different actions:
- Execute AI script and
- Execute AI script at Location
Use the 2nd. Altough all scripts are listed in both categories not all of them work in both.

Maybe you also have to enlarge the location so it encompasses the resources and the nexus, but I think not.

Tried that with the same AI, Expansion Protoss Custom Level and still did not work. Here is the map. I made the Location box completely surrounding the minerals. The computer mined but did not go beyong 9/9.

Worked just fine for me. Are you sure you played the right map after making some changes?



None.

So it does work! I scouted when I was able to make my first pylon and saw that the computer still had nothing. So it was either slow or put its buildings off to the side somewhere. Which is great!

Now the question is, It's working but can I have it initiate a specific build order?

Not directly. You can create units for the computer, though, although that looks stupid if the player can see it.

You would have to create your own AI, which is modding.

they basically lost most of their army in one big battle and didn't have the time and production to leverage the economic advantage and come back from that blow.
