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

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.

Ultraviolet -- hell yeah. did you have trouble making the button functional, or just haven't gotten there yet?

haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
