AI Guard Teams
by Skylar Kelty · in Torque Game Engine · 05/31/2006 (4:24 am) · 9 replies
Hello,
I've been trying for the last 5 hours to get teams working in the AI Guard resource.
I've been using this resource for teams:
www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=2312
I can get it so if im on team 1 they wont shoot, they will defend me and if im on team 2 they will kill me
But I cant get them to join a team
The code im using is at the address below (due to word limit):
www.sphyxgames.com/aiguard.cs
How can I get the AI to join teams?
Thanks in advance

I might take a look at the getclosesthumanandrange function and modify it to fire at bots too, then only at bots with a %team1 or %team2 variable.

No I can only get them to fire at human players on certain teams.I might take a look at the getclosesthumanandrange function and modify it to fire at bots too, then only at bots with a %team1 or %team2 variable.

There's a lot of other changes in there that don't pertain to just the team aspect. But the bots will shoot at both human and non-human players.
It is kind of weird because the game engine treats them differently for each case so you have to check for both types of targets then cull which one is the more optimum based on your criteria, I believe my code uses distance.
It's been forever since I've looked through the code for this stuff, but hopefully this will help point you in the right direction. If not post back and I'll try to be more specific.

If you look through the modified code for the CTFBot in the resource linked below you'll see what I did to get the bots to detect both human and non-human players.There's a lot of other changes in there that don't pertain to just the team aspect.

Awesome, I took a look at the Killer Kork resource, where the there's two teams of bots that battle it out, but only the 'leader' of each ai team will attack you, I also implimented the team resource, and in that I can't get the bots on teams.. I havnt dug too deeply into the killerkork resource where they fight but I'd like to get this to work so that the bots recognize what team players are on and act accordingly
