moveto avoid only on rectangle, any workarounds?
Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2007 3:12 pmHello,
i am trying to make a point&click adventure like control. so what i have is a player, that on mouseclick should walk towards to mouse coordinates avoiding stuff standing around in the room.
i tried to achieve this, by making a 'walk-map' where i just made every area where the player should not walk on visible, whereas all areas where the player can walk on are transparent. my plan was now, to make a event on the player with move to, mouse position, avoid walk map. but the problem is, avoid is ignoring transparency/collision, it just sees the whole walk map as one rectange to avoid.
so what i would need is a 'avoid with correct collision detection' or as alternative to tell the player to avoid a group of actors of different sizes, which i then would spread around everywhere the player is not allowed to walk.
i have not found anything how to do this, except clone a 'walk' map object 20-30 or even more times per screen, but this is not useful as you have to set them all to transparent and position them. a lot of work (for every screen) for a thing that could be achieved in a single step if collision detection would work on avoid
is there any way to achieve such a behaviour, or are there tutorials which just use a completely other way to achieve a point&click adventure control?
thanx in advance
