AI feature for when a player leaves

[Antidepresiv]

Basicly it's an idea that is being developed for DOTA 2. When someone leaves, an AI bot goes into the game, and takes control of the hero, now players from the team could control the hero, send it to base, order it to atack..

Is this possible for RGC? I mean if Rogers could code this, and make this happen, then it would definitely solve the leavers problem. Also i would like your opinions on this idea..

You mean when someone leave the game, the hero to be controled by the computer? To play like an player yo?

[Antidepresiv]

Yes! Thats exactly what i mean. When someone leaves a game, a bot takes over that hero and plays with him, since today you have AI bots who can play better than 40 percent of all players, they farm harras, deny and stuff like that..

[MoonArch]

Well that could be nice if Sir-Rogers can code it:D

[Sir Rogers]

The only problem is that the dota AI is in a completely different map, and it isn't maintained by Icefrog, right?

I never play with the AI xD

Yes Rogers, that is correct.. Ice Frog does not manage the AI maps, although you can download the AI maps on getdota.com. These AI bots have a few bugs, but thats only until some1 makes an AI framework from scratch. But i think any player is better that no player, at least for the begining, later rgc could make their own AI dota maps with professional bots.. I think when you are in 12th minute of the game, and you cant remake it, it would mean a lot to have a fifth player in the game, it doesn't matter if he is so to say pro or noob, he will make a difference..

Nice, well lets wait sir-rogers answer :D

So if you were in a 1vs1 tournement and you use !comp (number) you will have a pack of AI with you?

[1m2o]

!Support,but will be hard to create good computers,because in AI version play in very low skills,no like in dota 2,so will be hard

[^SoLiD]

Lets say if there was 2 team vs each other, in the middle of the game some1 fails so they start raging on him like gtfo from game the bot is better than u, it will be unfair for the other team xD

I know this is an old thread but Antidepressiv's suggestion is a really good one. In my opinion the positives more than outweigh the negatives (the most obvious positive is that RGC would be one of the few if not only client which supports such a thing so maybe some users may find that attractive). However, if an AI version is to be implemented, players should be able to command them. I don't mean controlling them as a shared unit because most users (well in pubs at least) don't like taking control of more than one hero. What I mean is finding a way so that if you type something like -backai1 then the AI goes back or -pushai1 then the AI pushes, etc..
