Setmovedestination behavior

by Steve D · in Torque Game Engine · 06/11/2008 (9:15 am) · 2 replies

Anyone else notice that when you give a bot coordinates with setmovedestination it doesn't go to the precise location but it is off by sometimes as much as half a world unit? It happens every single time, is this a "bug" or is it something I'm doing wrong? Is there anyway to make the bot stop on the exact coordinates you give it? I know, what does it matter if they are off by a small amount but if you have some bots moving around on a grid then half a world unit off is a lot.

I think it was designed to give the bots a little 'tolerance', so they didn't take ages positioning themselves exactly. Look up AIPlayer::mMoveTolerance. It is initialised as 0.25. You could either change that hardcoded value, or move the value into PlayerData, so it can be set per player type.

That's really good info Daniel, so for zero tolerance I would have to set it to 0?
