Getting more then 1 character/bot to work

by dArchitect · in Technical Issues · 01/31/2008 (9:57 am) · 5 replies

I am using aiclient and aipatrol as starting points to learn AI. What I am trying to do is get, not only Kork attacking me but, other characters attacking at the same time. Any ideas?

Try this...
%enemy = %client.player
           %obj.setAimLocation(%enemy, "0 0 2.25");   // Now the bot will aim for the player's head
           %obj.setImageTrigger(0,1);                         // This makes the bot fire

NOTE: I haven't tried it yet, so it may not work.

I've haven't viewed these resources so I don't know exactly what you should do, but try finding the spawn function for the bots, and calling it more then once.

Let me rephrase this. What I am trying to do is to have several different enemies attacking me at the same time. So when I enter a level I have several tanks, jeeps, guards, snipers, etc., attacking me rather then just one as I have right now.

There is a resource that lets you place a marker in the game and the bot spawns where the marker is located.
Here's the link

Look at the functions called "LoadEntities, Spawn, and SpawnAtMarker" and it should give you an idea on what to do.
