Hey guys! I'm kinda new and i wuz wondering is there some way to make a enemy have a mind of its own or an AI Thanx I hope you guys know!

What do you want the enemy to do

[jimmynewguy]

I want the enemy to move around and/or attack a character on its own

[Oman]

ok here is what you do.

1.create 3 actors, player and enemy and ground
2.in enemy add draw actor go to player while avoiding ground
3.recieve events if out of vision: no
now the enemy will move toward the player

I am not sure about attacking...


edit: never mind this doesnt work..

[pavel329]

wait..
what?

while avoiding the ground?
Not sur i understand step 3.

[Oman]

sorry, that doesnt work i have no clue how to do it...

But now i want to know too

[pavel329]

what i want to know how to do is.
the enemy just walks around.
like a normal person.
but when you get to a certain length of him
he atacks.

i was thinking.
make a large actor.
lik a circle or something.as large as you need it.
and do a collision thing.
so when yu hit the circle.(get clse enough to the enemies diameter)
He will come after you.

you understand what I mean?

[Oman]

ya but instead of a circle use a filled region actor

[pavel329]

mhm.
but.....
idk how to do it.
i can only script it where the circle chases you.
not the enemy.

this is a script u put in script editor.



angle = direction(x, y, yourhero .x, yourhero .y);
directional_velocity = 10;



replace "yourhero" by the actor's name of your hero. replace the 10 after velocity if you want the ennemy to be faster or slower
[code][/code]

[Oman]

ok. I guess that works too....

[pavel329]

no it doesn't.

u can only use it on the enemy or the diameter.
i want to make it where when you hit the diameter or circel thing the enemy chases you.
not the circle.

[Sgt. Sparky]

use a distance function, that way you do not need a circle,

Code: Select all

if(distance(x, y, yourhero.x, yourhero.y) < 100)
{
    angle = direction(x, y, yourhero.x, yourhero.y);
    directional_velocity = 10;
}


replace 10 with the velocity you want.
replace the 100(distance)
with what you want
(minimum of 75 recomended)
