AI Functions
by Caleb · in Technical Issues · 06/19/2006 (1:05 pm) · 4 replies
When using starter.fps, I can call things like:
%this.setMoveDestination(LocalClientConnection.%obj.getTransform());
or
%this.setAimObject(%obj);
But in my custom game folder (not based off of starter.fps), I can't call these things because the functions don't exist. I would really like to know were these functions are so I can figure out how to modify or create new ones for my game.
I don't mind getting my hands dirty with code, I just need someone to tell me were to look.
Thanks.

to get his to stop.. it's simple %obj.stop().
Not quite sure i follow... but you won't be able to call badguy1.chase(), be cause your function chase is not a member of any class.... you'd have to do chase(badguy1)

Well.... the code look's ok.to get his to stop.. it's simple %obj.stop().
Quote:know that "BadGuy1.setMoveDestination(myGuy.getPosition());" works but "%this.setMoveDestination(myGuy.getPosition());" and then calling BadGuy1.Chase doesn't

I thought that "%this" would be the object using these functions. Anyway its most likly somthing simple but I just haven't spent a lot of time on this, so some help would be nice.
Thanks.

OK, new question. I got the code below to work without "BadGuy::" and "%this" in the functions. But when I try it now nothing happens. it can't find %this.$chasestat = 1;
//Get proximity to player
function BadGuy::AIProx(%this)
{
if (VectorDist(myGuy.getPosition(), %this.getPosition()) < 51)
{
Chase();
}
else
{
StopChase();
schedule(1, 0, AIProx);
}
$chasestat = 1;
}
//stop the chase
function BadGuy::StopChase()
{
$chasestat = 0;
}
//Chase Player one
function BadGuy::Chase(%this)
{
if (VectorDist(myGuy.getPosition(), %this.getPosition()) < 51)
{
%this.setMoveDestination(myGuy.getPosition());
if ($chasestat $= 1)
{
schedule(1, 0, Chase);
}
else
{
$chasestat = 1;
%this.stop();
}
}
else
{
%this.Stop();
AIProx();
}
}I thought that "%this" would be the object using these functions. Anyway its most likly somthing simple but I just haven't spent a lot of time on this, so some help would be nice.

One:
How do I make him stop? I've tried setting the destination to NULL like the AimAt function but it doesn't work.
Two:
What wrong with this code? (aside from the schedule).
function Chase(%this) { %this.setMoveDestination(myGuy.getPosition()); schedule(1, 0, Chase); }I know that "BadGuy1.setMoveDestination(myGuy.getPosition());" works but "%this.setMoveDestination(myGuy.getPosition());" and then calling BadGuy1.Chase doesn't
