However, I am having a huge problem as I can not figure out how the make the damn Computer stim its marines! The map is otherwise finished, but without the marines stimming it is good for nothing. I remember that in the campaign the marines know how to stim so it should be possible in StarEdit too.   | ||

also, have you tried using the AI command "execute strategic attack on location" or similar? using that command will siege tanks and burrow lurks, so it might stim also. | ||

Yeah, doesn't work. But I could try setting the AI to Insane and then try that. When I tried just using the Insane AI the only thing it did differently was D-matrixing tanks. The script I want the computer to follow is After killing any unit, stim all Terran Marines and A-move all Terran Marines to a certain location. | ||

I googled for a few hours and it gave me jack shit It seems to be impossible to make the marines stim when you want them to; it's the same with any editor. Stimming is left to the retarded computer AI, which has no idea when it should be used. I had a really good idea for the map too. | ||

Before you begin, make note of the limitations of SC AI editing that will never change. - You cannot change how the AI micros. - You cannot change structure placement. - You cannot alter pathing of units or buildings. - You cannot change how the AI uses spells, abilities, or other such things. - You cannot change how the AI targets, defends, or anything of that sort. - You can only tell the AI to build stuff, create defense protocols, attack, and expand. so yeah...

Also, you could turn on an AI by running a script, i htink that makes it micro more intelligently (i.e. use stims etc.) PM me if you are still having trouble or dont understand my post (i know it was pretty vague) I gave the comp both stim and range, the problem is the computer AI which uses stim only once in a blue moon and even then only with a few marines. What I was aiming to do was to construct a situation where the Terran is hammering your sunken line with tanks before your defilers are out. I was going to give the Terran 3 control groups of marimedi, 2 tanks and a vessel. Then the Zerg user would have had the option to choose which kind of army to defeat the push with. I gave the zerg up to 5 control groups of lings, up to 8 lurks, up to 2 queens, and 1 pair of scourge and I was going to add muta too. Then he could have easily tried what kind of outcome each combination was going to bring and thus be able to evaluate the situation better in a real match. | ||
