Following obiect avoiding other object

[naoh]

I'm using code in actor1

Code: Select all

angle = direction(x, y, actor2.x, actor2.y);
directional_velocity = 3;


And collision event for object wall of actor actor1

But it's looks like that:


And I want situation like this:


How I can do that?

Hm... this would be pretty tricky if you want to do it that way. To make this easier, you should use the moveto function, that way it can avoid the object you want. Is there a reason you are using angles? Because if it is just for movement, not tied to animation, then all you would need to use is the moveto function. If you want to implement angles for the animation, then you would either need a shortest path, I don't suggest trying to make one, or create a way of determining rotation from xy speeds. I am assuming that this is just a basic idea of what you want, and that the circumstance will change, so you want it to still work.

Why not jsut use "Move to" actor2 and avoid wall that way o.o.

Those are my first days with the Game Editor, so I don't know many functions. Before I work with the Game Maker and it's so hard to me to get used to the GE.
I think function moveto work fine, but why it don't work when I use region as actor to avoid?

EDIT:
Strange, but sometimes it work, sometimes no.
My code in actor1 is:

Code: Select all

MoveTo("Event Actor", player.x, player.y, 2, "Game Center", "wall");


On start it works, but when player will move above wall object, and then will back under wall, actor1 will walk through wall!
