[Question]Boss Scripting

How did you script them? Were AI scripts even necessary or is JASS itself fine?

AI is written in JASS no?

Everything's coded in JASS. To be perfectly honest, I abused WC3's AI a lot in creating the boss AI. Also, some bosses have fairly retarded AI that I need to fix up, but that's okay for the time being.

They need to stay retarded. :P

Psh, yeah right! If anything, they aren't hard enough!

You mean the units uses certain abilities on their own? I would't call that abuse of the wc3 internal AI system, but taking advantage of the already existing combat behavior AI. No need to conflict with the already existing AI.

I use certain ability acquisition styles, ie. war stomp fires when cooldown ends and there are at least 3 targets in range. That's about it.

Hmmm, I find in general simple AI's are easy to make. I'm not saying I could make these ones as well as Dusk, but with enough random events, humans do see random events as personified.

You did do a great job on these ones though!

Sorry if this isn't the right thread, but what triggers the first boss's Enrage? Some friends of mine have a real problem with the boss because sometimes he Enrages and slaughters us all, and sometimes he doesn't and is a total cakewalk, and we can't tell what makes him use it. Thanks in advance.

Enrage triggers when Ramm has a target, basically just attack him and when he has 100 mana, he'll use it within 5 seconds.

Ah, okay. Thank you.
