In the map it starts off with Player 8 having 2 command centers, 1 scv and an unlimited amount of ore and gas (100 ore and gas every mili second). I need P8 to start to build a town, get upgrades, units and eventually Kick the ass of all human players in the game. Under Tutorials i read that the AI script "[Expansion] Terran Campaign Insane" should do this, yet P8 still does nothing. Any help of ideas will help me.
Thanks A lot
Those AI scripts are mostly the ones supported by regular starcraft:broodwar. If you want more 'humanly' AI scripts, you will need to use a mod. However, an AI script never seems humanly enough in my opinion.
I dont care if they act human or not, i just want them to build a town and kick my ass. So far i have been able to make the 1 scv i give them mine minerals, lol. Also, if i give him more than 1 scv, he still only uses one of them to mine minerals. I need him to build unit and establish a decent base.
make sure that the location u set it to is DIRECTLY ON AND ONLY THE SIZE of the command center. No bigger than the Comand Center, and directly on it.
ok, i have the scvs mining, and 1 of them will build another command center, but then they all stop, except for one who keeps on mining. Why wont they build more and set up a base.
?
Make sure of the following:
1. They have sufficient amount of minerals/gas (melee map standard).
2. The location you run the AI at is the size of their townhall and is on it also. (CC/Nex/Hat)
3. Make sure you do NOT preserve trigger. (thats bad

)
4. Make sure you wait long enough for them to do anything, Insane AI's will launch their first attack at 7 minutes. (game time, that is)
did you set the AI scripts like, "terran tank base". though i read you cant use both scirpts together.
If you want a really good AI, download the file in this thread:
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopic=12876This is a mod, but you can use it with UMS and melee, you can even use it online.
If you just want a comp to kick your ass, this is it.
While a modified Ai script will produce a tougher more realistic Ai that "builds" up an army, it won't necessarily be the "toughest".
If your goal is to make a very tuff Ai you can either assist it by "spawning" military buildings at designated locations or just simply spawn the units themselves. By spawning units, there are no undelying conditions.
For instance if you wanted say 10 immediate marines, with a modified Ai you would need 10 barracks and 500 ore + the necessary supply depots. Spawning requires none of this.
In your case, have your "monster computer" rise from the ashes with a bazillion units and attack these human opponents of yours and just forget about the "realistic human" part.
Whatever you end up doing... never show mercy to those weak-ass humans!
You might be able to fake responses with creative triggering, maybe triggers that will subtract minerals, wait for a certain time and then create units.
Ex. Foes have at least 10 Mutalisks, subtract x amount of minerals + gas, wait x amount of time and spawn 3 Valkyries.
