Stampede based spell and Comp AIs

11-12-2003, 02:11 PM

I created a spell based on Stampede for a mini-campaign I'm working on, using the Possesion animation rather than the standard TL ani. The computer controlled enemy hero that has it, however, won't cast it unless there is a large group of enemies nearby,since it is based on Stampede. (He is supposed to cast it on the players' heroes.) Do you guys have any ideas on what I could do to make him cast it more?

Order him to do it. Basically, have a Unit takes damage event trigger, and a random number generator (I'm working on something similar right now).

Code:

Actions
    Set RandomInteger = (Random integer number between 1 and 6)
    If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        If - Conditions
            RandomInteger Equal to 1
        Then - Actions
            Unit - Order Cyberbiotics Airship 1 0339 <gen> to Orc Shaman - Lightning Shield Cyberbiotics Airship 1 0339 <gen>
        Else - Actions

There ya go, right out of my trigger. That way, they won't always do it, but if they're getting hogpiled, chances are the number will come up.
