My AIPlayer spins around

by Snaggz · in Torque Game Engine · 08/27/2006 (12:52 am) · 2 replies

I have an AIPlayer that is an ant. When i use the setAimObject() to anything he just sits there and starts spinning around. I didnt always have this problem. Also, when i change the shapefile to my dwarf he looks where hes supposed to without spinning.

Probably the problem is in your "eye node" animation. Torque use eye node for calculate the distance until the final position. Take a look in to the AIPlayer.cc file, int the function getAIMove the engine calculate the movement and rotation to the final position.

Try to insert

mAimLocationSet = false;

after

// Check if we should mMove, or if we are 'close enough'
if (mFabs(xDiff) < mMoveTolerance && mFabs(yDiff) < mMoveTolerance) {
mMoveState = ModeStop;

Hope this help you and sorry for my bad english :p.
