How do I make Computer to play in my Hero Arena / AoS / <Your Map> ?

Okay, that's a good question.
Making computer play or, making an AI requires great deal of Triggering, it depends mostly on how your map is. Hero Areans and AoS's are most common maps where you want computer to play, so let's take a few basic steps.

Here, we'll start by a step by step tutorials, starting from the base.

We are going to make a small Hero arena for upto 4 players and allow Computer to play.
I haven'y got any images now, I'll add those soon.
Or if anyoe who has followed the tutorial and made his small map, please upload the images...

Now,

Open up the World Editor, if it's open, create a new map. 64x64 should be a good size. Now, make the map playable for 4 players and divide them in two teams. let player 1 and 2 be in the Tea One, and let player 3,4 be in team two.

We are going to have only four heroes as a start, and we'll keep the ones from Warcraft built-in Heroes itself. How about Tauren Chieftain, Blademaster, Demon Hunter and Crypt Lord?

Now, I hope you have played Warchasers, so you are familier with the Selection system used in there.

Ok, we have a plot, four guys have just gathered around and they have nothing to do, so they decided to kill each other.

" I don't care who or what my enemy is - it's fleash can bleed and it's bones can be broken, that's enough! "

First step of the map is terrain. so, at the corner of the map, make the small Hero Selection area, Also, make the Central arena, and two teams home bases. You know, how the typical Hero Arena is.

Now, make the Teleportation area, at team one and team two, we are making it such like as when you enter the arena, you cannot go back. Also, when you enter the teleport you are warped at the center of the arena. Since this is one way trip, you can safely use Waygates. And since there is no hero that can teleport or Blink past the cliffs, there is no need for extra teleport abuse protection.

make the arena look beautiful, add trees and stuff, decide your theme while making the arena, either make it spooky, or childish or a Royal Battle ring etc. You can give it a " Cell Games or Budokai Tenkaichi (DBZ)" look.

Ok, you have the Heroes and the Terrain, now the thing remains is the other object editing. I think you can manage that. Just one thing to mention, remember not to make the hostile creeps way too strong. Upto Level 4 creeps should be enough. If you add level 7-10 creeps, be sure that they do not wander off the central ring. You can choose creeps suitable to your theme. Fortunately, there is a heap of creeps available in Warcraft 3. Right now, we'll keep Centaurs. Max level guy is Centaur Khan with level 8.

Making creeps Wander around could be a trouble if you are not that adept with triggers, so, modify the Tornado Wander ability, set the AoE to a bit larger, and give it to the creeps you have selected "eligible" to fight.

Now, for the Items, yes, DO NOT KEEP TOMES. it makes your map cheap.
Keep some good items, but never keep items of Ob Effects. They should be heavily balanced if you intend to keep them. Right now, stat bonus items upto +6 is okay.

Make a shop, place it in each of the team's bases. Grab the Foutain of Health and Mana, place them to the strategic locations i the main arena. Place the Fountain of Power (Located in Night Elves) i the either of teams bases.

Ok, you're set. now for the Triggers...
Now, I'm not going to explain how to make the selection system with a unit like Wisp., Just you should have a system like in WARCHASERS.

Just make the leaderboards and tother stuff. In other words, your arena should be fuly functional with players, now you are ready to add up the AI.

Well,

First, the groups, you already have two Teams (Player Groups) One and Two, including players 1,2 and 3,4.

Now, just go make the follwing triggers

E
- Map Init
A
- If (player 1 controller is Computer) then add player one to AIOneGroup
- If (player 2 controller is Computer) then add player one to AIOneGroup
- If (player 3 controller is Computer) then add player one to AITwoGroup
- If (player 4 controller is Computer) then add player one to AITwoGroup

The AIOneGroup and AITwoGroup are PlayerGroupVars.

Now, another trigger that causes AI to choose Hero. The selection system must be ready. if it isn't, make it now.

Trick is, after 5 secs since the game, check of the the play is in AI Groups we created, if he is, meaning, that we have to order it. Now, how many heroes we have? Four. make a integer var called 't'. Set t to a random number out of 1 to 4. And order the wisp to move to the corresponding choose hero region. Do it for every player.

Test the map with Computer Players, if you did it right, you'll notice that AI now cooses random hero each time. in WE, make it reintialize the seed from map settings, thus your AI will choose really random hero instead of getting repeatitive.

Hey, but what after that? AI choses hero but doen't seem to move around.

Now, place the regions all around the map, to the most strategic places you think, don't forget the shops, Fountains, etc. remember to make the regions a bit bigger, or of moderate size basically, a region of size that nearly 6 grunts can easily stand.

Don't forget the name the regions, like North Fountains, Base 1/2 Shops, Center, South Corridor etc. this is for your own reference.

Now, think what you do when you play,
1. You order your hero to move around.
2. Locate enemy. and Fight him.
3. Learn abilty with nukes and ultimates being high priority,
4. Use an ability or two,
5. Go to respective fountains.
6. don't click me items if having enough Gold.

We'll consider the AI to do 1. and 2.

As your hero enters the base region, by selection or revival, order him to move to the random point in arena. If you are using waygates, then hero will properly find the way around, using the waygate. Then you have to set up the repeating trigger. once in the arena, for each few seconds, 5 to 10, pick the each player in AIGroups and th units that are in the Arena Region, order them to patrol the random point in randomly chosen strategic locations (regions) you already placed. This takes a bit work, so add it in For loop to make it for each AI player.

Save, and test.

Yes, your AI now moves around and fights! Dies on honour like a hero, revives and fights again! The quality and skill of the AI depends on where you set the locations. example, have him to move around the high ground, make him go around the fountains, etc.

If you have creeps, then he'll also engage them. But since you have not specified it, he has little regard for his life.

Now, using the spells. Basically, there is an event specified. "Gains a Level"
so, is it not an easy job to check of the levelling guy is AI and have him the learn the ability?

There is a trick though, For Tauren chieftain, the trigger will look like this one,

E
- A unit gains a leve
C
- Owner of Levelling Hero 's Controller is Computer
- Leveling hero is Tauren Chieftain.
A
- Learn ability - Reincarnation
- Learn ability - War Stomp
- Learn ability - Endurance
- Learn ability - Shockwave

Now, look at this, this has priorised the best abilities for Tauren Chieftain. Of course, as he levels up, he'll try to learn first skill - reincarnation. if it unavailable (below lvl6) or already learnt, he'll grab the next one. So, typically, he'll go like this
WS, End, WS, End, WS, Reincar, End. SW, SW, SW.

Simple, isn't it.

Remember that if your ability follows the basic ability logic of Blizz, thn it will be caster automaticaly, if it's a custom ability, you have to order that. That's makes Nmber 4.

Good, upto 4 is done. Your AI will now begin to give a trouble to Noobs. (This includes yourself too, ofc if you are a noob)

Still, he is not attempting to save himself. That's number 5.

First, modify the Attack Move trigger we set up earlier to have AI move around. Add a condition to check if picked unit's health is above 25%.

Save and Test, you'll notice that AI will not move around if health is below 25%. instead he'll stand ground and wait for is hp to recover.

Good, now, make one more trigger.

E
- A unit is attacked
C
- Or
- Owner of Attacked unit is in AIGROUPONE
- Owner of Attacked unit is in AIGROUPTWO
- Attacked unit's percentage life is smallr than or equal to 25.00%.
A
<figure it out, order it to move to a (random, if more exist) health fountain>

Good, you can do a bit scripting to hav AI move to the closest fountain as well.

Now, you'll see AI's behaviour changes by a great deal. You can do the same for Mana too.

Number 6 is a bit complecated. I recommend that you check out the BftC AI unprotected.

Though BftC is AoS and the above tutorial is for Arena, item buying logic remains the same.

If you want a good skilled AI to pitch yourself agaist, go for BftC Latest version.

Now, add up your spells. Even though you didn't fill up all the 11 spells, it's okay. Now give that ability to any unit of your choice, Be sure that unit has enough mana to cast them all.

Now you can work with Spellbook.

Note: If you set the values diferent, here's what will happen.
Say, you set Max Spells to 8 and Min Spells to 4. And add 8 Abilities.
Then, it will randomly choose 4 Spells out of 8 specified. The first 8 abilities shall be considered valid for this Random Selection.

Inside the Spellbook
When inside the Spellbook the spell behaves completely normal. Cooldowns and mana cost is applied to the entire spellbook rather than a single ability. And unit's mana is taken for Casting the spell. There is an option to put extra Mana Toll, but it appears that Blizzard did not implement is to the Fullest.

Spellbook and Channel
It is also possible to have Triggered abilities and Channel Spells inside the Spellbook. I have not Tried Spellbook inside a Spellbook but I am sure it works.

Adding and Removing Abilities
Adding and Removing Abilities from Spellbook is possible. Just Add the Spellbook containing the Ability you want to Add,
Example, Unit has a Spellbook with Order ID 'X' has one spell of ID 'A'.
You want to add Spell 'B' to the Book. So, You have to add another Spellbook of ID 'X' that contains spell 'B' to the unit.
The result will be a Single Spellbook of ID 'X' containing both A and B.

Disabled Spellbook
Disabled Spellbook is another Boon to the Triggered Ability Makers. Remember that Some Passives show an Icon on the Unit's command Card. And no matter what you do you cannot remove that. So, you can put it inside a Spellbook. Give that spellbook to a unit and Disable the Spellbook ability for that player. Remember that Spellbooks may have different Order IDs, so can use the Spellbook with different ID. Now, in game, The Passive will have the effect but will not show any Icon on the Command Card! I don't know if it's meant to be like this or this is an engine Glitch. But it works great.

You can add and remove the Disabled Spellbooks from a unit.
Example - A unit gains 30% Critical Strike x2 for next 15 seconds.

That's a little about Spellbooks.
