Yeah so my basic logic of doing AI for the cpu_paddle is to make it move towards the ball staying only in the y axis. Is this a good idea and if so what script should use or what other way can I go about it. I got everything done but the cpu_paddle so please help.

thanks in advance.

You can try some thing like this, in the 'Draw Actor' event of the cpu_paddle actor:

Code: Select all

x = (ball.x + x*4)/5.0;

This is what I am going for

here

ive already done a game like that, now im waiting for beta testing, maybe i could send you my final .ged file so you can take a look

That would be great.

Use a timer
cpu_paddle>create actor>create timer><REACTION TIME>>Immediate action
cpu_paddle>timer><TIMER HERE>>script action>

Code: Select all

x = ball.x

It should only muve when the timer is fired.
It works well!!

yeah, but sometimes teh reaction is choppy, because if tha ball moves too fast, well alll you see is the pallete jumping places to places.

maybe moveto instead of script action?

in draw actor:

Code: Select all

if(ball.x>x)x+=3;
else if(Ball.x<x)x-=3;

that should do it
