Movement

by Sam Guffey · in Technical Issues · 05/10/2002 (3:43 pm) · 9 replies

In the source there is a function conn.setMove(x, y, z [pitch, yaw, roll], true|false) "This isnt exact"

I've tried to move the AI in script form by getting the transform of the target, but the AI doesnt go any where. It just continues to stand around.

Say the AI = %obj and the target = %targ

Im running a while loop to check a 200 meter radius for potential targets, once found I set its move state to the target using.

%trans = %target.getTransform();
%obj.client.setMove(%trans, true);

I know my scripting is correct, however Im not very familiar with C++ and dont know if the source call is correct. Am I using the correct move function?

That sets the destination. You have to do %obj.client.move(); after you set it.

The game doesnt seem to know what move() means. Was there a head release that the AI was improved in?

try :
void AIPlayer::setMoveSpeed( F32 speed )
without that it is zero so he will just stand around

Well apparently you guys have made alterations to the AI and added code that doesnt exist in the base source.

.move(); is an "unknown command" and so is setSpeed(F32);

um ... move() is part of player class ... try just %obj.move(); .. no idea why you are trying to move the client class ... this is how my ai moves
%this.clearAim();
   %this.setMoveDestination(%finalPos);
   %this.move();

this = the bot and the finalpos is figured out in scripts beforehand

Sounds like you didn't include the "game/aiPlayer.*" files and recompile your engine... all these functions definitely ARE there... even in the Release1_1_1 version...

ok, now should I use the aiConnect(x); method or the aiAddPlayer( 'playerName'[, 'AIClassType'] ); method?

If it the 2nd one then what is an AIClassType?

Use the second one, you don't need the classtype:
$myBot = aiAddPlayer("Botname");
should do it...
Btw., did you read my 2 bot tutorials in the resource section - explains all this in detail...
