Help needed with Cars, pathing them and triggers : )

by Maximillian Brewer · in Torque Game Engine · 02/03/2009 (2:44 am) · 4 replies

Hi!

I have implemented the buggy from starter.racing into my starter.fps, so that you can jump into the car, and drive it around, but I want to now add a pathed Ai that is the car model.

The AI car just needs to go on a simple path.

PS. Also, can I track when an AI buggy goes through the last trigger?

This is because I want to be able to check whether you have already been through the trigger, and if the Ai is there first, it displays You Lose in a box, and if you are first, it says you win!

Testing whether they're going through the trigger is the easy part. Just test for .isaicontrolled() and/or .isbot.

The tricky bit is getting the ai to follow a path competently. Please let me know if you've sorted this out nicely.

I don't, but what you want is to follow a tutorial on triggers. Search for one, or start here:

They're pretty easy.
