Ok I'm working on another ver of my map Preschool Showdown, and im adding alot of new features, but 1 that i want to add is 1 computer for each team to build certain things use certain options in the game with diff set build orders, now everything that i have planned i know how to go about it and set it up, but 1 thing i know that i cant figure out to do is how to get a computer to research upgrades, and if i can, can i get them to upgrade at certain points and will they stop at 3 or will they be able to research up to level 5, even if somebody could point me a direction of a program that makes custom ai scripts or how to make one if it is possible.
There is no known set of actions or scripts that will directly trigger a computer to upgrade. I think that is what you are asking...
ok in the little description about the file it mentions a mod, now if i make an ai script can i use it in a map without having peeps having to run a modded ver of starcraft?
You can't. I don't know why Medieval_Massacre posted that, but my first answer stands: you can't.
geez DT dont be hatin i was just tryin to help him out
I know your intent, but what you succeeded in doing was confusing him. This is the mapping forum, not the modding forum.
Battlekruser, you're wrong. AI computers will upgrade at precise points in their scripts when they have the correct preconditions. All you need to do is determine these preconditions and provide them. A while ago I made a map with a computer that researched all of the protoss level 1 upgrades on demand.
They will not upgrade past level 3, however.
Also keep in mind that AI scripts are very different online and in single player. You should do your testing in the environment that you expect the map to be played on, and disable the other environment (I think there's a tutorial on how to do this).
Ok, well thanks now I know theres no triggers that do it and i cant make an ai script because theyd have to dl a mod, so heres my question now, how do i get these conditions, second let me tell you what my plans are.
Ok in my map buildings do certain effects like increase money, spawn units, and make certain buildings, now, what I want to do is have it build in a certain order whether i have it apear in location after this prerequisit has been met and they have the minerals or whether there is a script.
Heres one build order im trying to make
They start with a CC, a Nexus, a scv and a Probe.
