Proposition for extending micro about sharpy-sc2 HOT 2 CLOSED

As a point of view from history, first iteration of the micro had things like MicroBack, MicroForward, FocusFire and RegroupUnits etc. This is pretty close to what you are suggesting.

Now the problem with that was that it started to get extremely hard to keep track what step in the chain does what and if there is a bug, which of these steps is causing the issues.

In the current version the only and best way to implement custom micro is to replace individual unit micro classes.

i.e.

self.knowledge.group_combat_manager.micros[UnitTypeId.ROACH] = MyRoachMicro()

I haven't written the wiki pages for this, because I'm not happy with this solution.
What I am thinking now, is to have a class that contains the basic rules for micro. Let's call it MicroRules. Combat manager would have the current settings as default, but the user could use his own set of Rules by giving them in command execute like this combat_manager.execute(pos, MoveType.Assault, my_micro_rules) Or you could write whatever you'd like in the default Rules. I think it is important for users to be able to temporarily set a different kind of micro for example to your flanking units without the need to mess up with your main army logic.

Thanks for the feedback as that really helps to understand the needs better.

Drafting something like this now:

class MicroRules:
    regroup_func: Callable[[Point2, List[CombatUnits], MoveType], None]
    focus_fire_func: Callable[[MicroStep, Unit, Action, Optional[Dict[UnitTypeId, int]]], Action]
    melee_focus_fire_func: Callable[[MicroStep, Unit, Action, Optional[Dict[UnitTypeId, int]]], Action]
    ready_to_shoot_func: Callable[[MicroStep, Unit], bool]
    init_group_func: Callable[[MicroStep, CombatUnits, Units, List[CombatUnits], MoveType], None]

    def __init__(self) -> None:
        self.regroup = True
        self.unit_micros: Dict[UnitTypeId, MicroStep] = dict()
        self.regroup_threshold = 0.75
        # How much distance must be between units to consider them to be in different groups, set to 0 for no grouping
        self.own_group_threshold = 7
