I am in the process of making a map that uses 7 switches to randomize 27 units that will appear for each player;

I am using:

Trigger

Description:

Rine 1

Players:

¤ 1

Conditions:

¤ Switch 1 is set

¤ Switch 2 is cleared

¤ Switch 3 is cleared

¤ Switch 4 is cleared

¤ Switch 5 is cleared

¤ Switch 6 is cleared

¤ Switch 7 is cleared

¤ Switch 8 is set // Explained later;;

Actions:

¤ Create 1 Terran Marine for Current Player at ! Schools out

¤ Clear switch 8

And it continues on with different switches set and switches 8-35 designating if that unit has already been created; The players after 2 have an extra condition of no being able to make their unit until the player before them has made a unit, which after they have the switches are randomized again;;;

The question that I have is, I would like to make it so that I could have the computer spawn all the other units and then have them go into random directions attacking all, I don't want them to work together however;;

Another problem (As stated above in title) is that I need to make it so that "Resticted" areas that make you die instantly if you enter them will be avoided by the computer players... IDK if that is possible, but I hope I can acheive it;

Any help would be greatly appreaciated;

If you want them to go into completely random spots (like literally ANYWHERE) then you can use junk yard dog AI script, or suicide mission AI script. If you want them to go into predetermind spots but in a randomized manner, then you should use a different set of switches and do that same thing.

Set A Death Trigger Randomization.

Ex.

[Player 8]
-Always

---

-Add 1 Deaths Of ??? For Current Player
-Preserve Trigger


[Player 8]
-Current Player Has Suffered Exactly However Many Total Locations You Want Them To Randomly Go To

---

-Set To 0 Deaths Of ??? For Current Player


Then Say...

[Player Commanding Marines]
-Player 8 Has Suffered Exactly 1 Deaths Of ???

---

-Issue Order; Move To All Marines For Current Player At !Schools Out To ???

Etc.

Here is an example map. All the triggers you'll be concerned with are under P6. Go nuts.

Hrm... either people don't care to listen or I am explaining it poorly; Let me re-state:


I know how to make the units go in random directions I know how to make them attack randomly also; I need help preventing bot 1-bot 21 from going into restricted area 1;


bot 1
|***********************|
| Restricted Area #1 |
|_______________________|

I need bot 1 to go into random locations (( Send all units on random suicide missions )) but I need it to 'logically' stay away from the restricted areas just like other players would; I would prefer not to hard code in its directions seeing as there will be 27 different bots, all with different chances of being made under the control of that player; Restricted areas are continually added and by the end of the map if no one chooses to kill anyone ((Work together and such)) they will all die by being killed for being in one of the many restricted areas;; If this doesn't make sense, I will simply work on it by myself;

Thanks all of you that choose to try and help me out;

ADDITION:


Actually, not really; Before I ever posted on the forum I read almost every single tutorial mulitple times; Thank you though, but I am not a noob to the forum;

How about making the Restricted Areas warp units to the center of the map or something instead of killing them?

Or you can just prevent them from being ordered there...by adding alot of conditions

Better yet, use Starforge to make a border around the Restricted Area of a different type of elevation, then use one single location restricted to only that elevation to order computers to move away.

If you need help on elevation, just ask.

Here is the story of the thing I am basing it off of (Quick summary):



If that helps on what I have to do; I need to make the map open but restricting with triggers, and I have already figured out how to show if an area is restricted;; I just need help with the computer seeing as I rarely do trigs with comps;

Thank you all.
