I think they are supposed to consider their own?  That's what I took from this, anyway:

Think i have the behavior you want for structural transfer.  It checks about as far as it can see for allied rook towers, but only about the skill's usage distance for enemy towers.   Do you want a check for enemy heroes before using structural transfer?  Right now it will eat some of its own towers mid fight with a demigod.   Don't know if this is good or bad...

If it needs to eat towers during a fight with dgs, then yes.  I say leave it as you describe and let me give it a go.

"Queen switch form more freely, but should not go packed when an enemy demigod is near and ally is not hurt badly."

i figure you mean unpacked, offensive QOT is unpacked  (just thought that i would point that out)

Still i must say, I just played about 3-4 games with rook AI 2v2 (rook enemy and friendly, second enemy random QOT) same settings as pacov

Rook was laying down towers left right and center and was generally alot stronger than usual.

One thing, when rook gets lvl 4 towers (makes them cost 200), can you make it priority #1 for him to drop it every cooldown? as it was he was getting 4-5 up, but would never max them out. IMO he could even drop them while retreating ----> all the way to the crystal. Lastly, is it possible for rook to always retreat to the crystal with a tele unless within a minimum distance? this would significantly increase his on the field time.

Otherwise an AMAZING increase in his abilities as AI

Think i had a bug in the teleport to health statue that made the distance required larger than i thought.   I tried to get fancy and do a distance check vs agent speed to try and base it on time saved instead of just a simple distance.

The other issue is move to health stone action and teleport to health stone action have similar triggers.  If it goes into the move action it won't stop unless a potion is in its path, it reaches the health stone, or it dies on the way.   We could disable move to health stone if it has a teleport ability available.   Sounds like a reasonable thing to do for everyone?

Current condition to drop a tower is: enemy structures, enemy land units, or enemy flags near the rook.   If he is near a flag he will place the tower around the flag otherwise it goes at his feet.

We can add tower drop within actions, but it is not very clean because most actions are shared between all demigods.  I've added it to the capture action, so that might help get his farm going.

In typing this i had an idea.... maybe adding ally rook towers as another reason to drop a tower would be a good way to get him to farm?  I know when i had all flags as a reason to drop a tower he would plop 1 down whenever he passed an ally flag.

Edit:  Added to .29 rook tower in the area as a condition to drop another rook tower.

The action is only blocked if both sides are below wr 7.  Pretty sure i logged it to verify the function was getting the right number.   So in your scenerio the action is available, but it is either not selected or the AI is busy.

We can try upping the weights and adding more weight categories to make it the top action in more goal sets, but I think the issue is the AI is inside another actions at the time of the threat.  If the AI is inside an action when the portal is threatened they can easily miss the trigger.  I'm fairly sure the AI will not break out of an action once it is in one.  The action its running either has to finish or have a trigger to end itself early.  Most actions end in 3-5 seconds, but the move and capture actions are all long for travel and capture time.

I'll try adding a break to the capture action since it is the most common action for the AI to be in. 

I'll see if there is anything i can do for structural transfer.  It has an immobolize buff on it while transfer is active and it looks like the action is set to wait for it to be removed before ending.  Maybe that is not working right or the action timeout is killing it.

Adding the breakout to the capture action should get it to react to the portal threat more often as most of the time in warrank 8 the AI will be in that action.  The only other action it spends a lot of time on is shopping, but it shouldn't teleport from the shop to its local portals anyway. 

For structural transfer i am killing the second action the AI uses to get into it cuase it uses all default function, which i doubt have any wait times in them to account for the ability continuing.

I've also added a couple seconds to the action it should be using to give it a minimum run length then it should go into the default loop to check when the transfer buff ends to end the aciton.  How long can the skill go for?

Enhanced AI 0.26.29/uberfix 1.03/FavorMod 2.1.3 

Settings:  cata/High Towers - all other settings on default
AI settings:  normal/nightmare

rook(h)/qot(normal) v rook(nightmare)/qot(nightmare)

Observed results:

noticed my qot was more often than not in open form.  While the ai's qot was more often than not in closed form... we have 2 diff builds?

obviously, the ai did better with leveling (they were at 20/18 while me/normal ai at 17/13).  That's fine.  But the nightmare ai was lousy with flag control.  I think the overall score ws was us at 10 and them at 6 or 7. 

As the nightmare ai has quite a bit of gold, I wonder if having NIGHTMARE AI ONLY lock flags more often might be a better idea... probably not, but it might cut down on the extreme difference in ws.

well yes, but I honestly don't know how much more it leveled.  I think it did so well with leveling was that it received the nightmare xp bonus (I'm correct in saying there is a bonus though, right?).  For instance, on cataract, it would be more beneficial for the ai to say in the mana and hp lanes for as long as possible than to even go back and forth getting the xp flag a mid (as long as they ai's were able to HOLD mana and hp).  If they did that, they'd level up fairly quickly AND have the warscore advantage.  Its a tricky balance, but the obvious bottom line is that if I hold 2 flags out of 3 pretty much nonstop, then I will win in ws.  But that said, in most MP games there is a trade up between mana and XP flag while 1 team tries to hold the HP flag as long as possible.  I just think the AI isn't quite as effective at this and lags behind in ws as a result. 

Anyway, will give you latest build a go in a few minutes.

Enhanced AI 0.26.30/uberfix 1.03/FavorMod 2.1.3 

Settings:  cata/High Towers - all other settings on default
AI settings:  normal

rook(h)/rook/rook v rook/rook/rook

Observed results:

Ai is still pretty lousy with attacking enemy towers (not rook towers).  I really want to see the open on any enemy tower being structural transfer... as the towers stop firing then, the ai will take no tower damage... perhaps we change the flee threshold for this? 

saw a couple of instances where the ai on my team would tp in to the hp flag (which we owned) because another ai was getting close to it, but then both of the ai on my team just walked away without doing anything.  If you port in, you should actually DO SOMETHING.

took a portal from the ai without it tping in.  1 ai clearly at mid could have ported. 

hmm... then 1 ai was walking over to retake the portal i had capped (i was walking out) and the ai decided it would be better off porting over to the mana flag than recapping its portal...

noticed another thing - if the ai is trying to retake a portal and creeps come out, the ai will stop short of the flag and fight all of the creeps.  it should always retake portal flags as its number 1 priority and just let the creeps go by until its at least in range to start capping the flag.  This behavior should apply to all portals and the valor flag.

it looks like the behavior for structural transfers is improved... only witnessed it a few times, though. 

Played reggie against Rook using Enhanced_AI_v0.26.30 on hard 1v1 on Crucible.    Actually took me to level 20 and a little while of beating to whack him (careful tho, I'm a marginal to poor player (based on the shouting when I play multiplayer)).   He never set up a tower farm - in fact, I'd say he mainly used towers to self-heal.  The structural transfer on his own towers made him hard to kill for a little while.
