I'm having a small problem having Computers nuke.

The objective I had in mind was for the Computer player to randomly nuke 16 different locations every (approx) 1.5 seconds.

Trigger

Description:

Countdown trigger

Players:

¤ Player 8

Conditions:

¤ 'Nuke' is 'Set'

Actions:

¤ Modify death counts for 'Player 1': 'Subtract' '1' for 'Nuke Counter'

¤ Preserve Trigger

This works fine.

Trigger

Description:

Counter Reset

Players:

¤ Player 8

Conditions:

¤ 'Player 1' has suffered 'exactly' '0' deaths of 'Nuke Counter'

¤ 'Nuke' is 'Set'

Actions:

¤ Modify death counter for 'Player 1': 'Set' to '18' for 'Nuke Counter'

¤ 'Set' 'Randomize ON'

¤ Preserve Trigger

This also appears to work fine.

Trigger

Description:

Randomize

Players:

¤ Player 8

Conditions:

¤ 'Randomize ON' is 'Set'

Actions:

¤ Randomize 'Random A'

¤ Randomize 'Random B'

¤ Randomize 'Random C'

¤ Randomize 'Random D'

¤ Preserve Trigger

Also appearing to work fine.

Here is what I can't get to work, the actual nuking. Here is what I have:

Trigger

Description:

Actually Nuking

Players:

¤ Player 8 (Computer I Want to Nuke)

Conditions:

¤ 'Randomize ON' is 'Set'

¤ 'Random A' is 'Cleared'

¤ 'Random B' is 'Cleared'

¤ 'Random C' is 'Cleared'

¤ 'Random D' is 'Cleared'

Actions:

¤ Clear 'Randomize ON'

¤ Execute AI script 'AI Nuke Here' at 'Nuke Zone 01'

¤ Preserve Trigger

The Computer (8) has a ghost in range of the location 'Nuke Zone 01'
11 Command Centers each with Nuclear Silos.
And the money to buy a nuke

I set the nuke cost to '1' gas and the time to '1' and gave the computer 1000 gas.

I also do have every a trigger for every possible combination of the randomization. 'Nuke' switch IS being set on correctly.

For extra measure, I removed the option to buy ANYTHING except a nuke.

Where did I go wrong?

For a computer to nuke he has to have a nuke silo, enough money to make a nuke, and enough time to build the nuke, then you simply use the nuke AI to get them to nuke. So it should've worked just fine, there must be a problem with youir randomization.

Unlikely, I display message checked the first 3 triggers and they do continue resetting, going off every (approx) 1.5 seconds.

They could only do that if 'Randomization ON' was cleared and it can only be cleared via the 16 different combinations of the randomization.

Player 8 is terran, by the way.

if you don't give computers ai scripts to order it to build a nuke, they'll just sit there...maybe the computer isn't even building a nuke.
you can check out these tutorials.

- Nuking -
*Use the direct "Build nuke at location" AI to force the computer to build a nuke in a silo (I don't think your suppose to preserve this trigger that this AI is in)
*With a nuke ready now use the "Target nuke at location" AI to force the computer to use one of its ghost to target the first unit that gets in its way with a nuke (you can preserve this trigger)
*A ghost will target invincible units with a nuke despite the fact the nuke won't even hurt it
*Sometimes even what the computers default race can matter to get this to work so set it to terran if it doesn't seem to work with the others

There is no 'Build nukes at location' AI script or 'Target nukes at location'

it should be there if your using any other besides the campaign editor.
go to Run AI script at loaction and look for the one named "BW Terran 2 - A (Fill silos with Nuke(Type 1))" theres another one with type 2, but that doesn't work well.

The 'target nukes' is in all editors. Including the blizzard one.

Actually, Type 2 is more stable than Type 1, as Type 1 creates ghost in the bottom left of the map.

The computer will not nuke if it doesn't already have a nuke to use, but if you constantly use the AI nuke here script it will automatically build nukes if it can (or just use the Fill silos (Type 2) script) prior to nuking.

He selected a brood war town AI script, that'll make a base build as the town in brood war lvl 2, not build a nuke. Use the one he said before.

I don't see anything that says (fill with nukes) on it.
