Starting point for Advanced Ai coding

by Drew Madsen · in Torque Game Engine · 07/17/2009 (9:49 pm) · 2 replies

I'm looking to start making coding for AI in my group projects.

What I'm looking for is one or more starting points where I can
learn some methods or concepts to create my own Ai programming.

I can currently do Patrols, and Following Ai, but they are very
ridged and only are ever walking, when see enemy follow and shoot.
It is really simple, just patrol a circuit of way points or follow a character.

What sort of base AI would I need in order to get AI to take cover,
and know how to navigate an environment to get to a way point.

I currently own TGE, and am considering upgrading to TGEA.

Take a look at the "killer kork" resource if you haven't already, there's a good idea about senses in there. Do a search.

Taking cover, they'd have to detect a threat and then find a point where the threat cannot see them. Killer Kork has some basic threat detection.

Navigating would be pathfinding, I really liked this resource.

If you are also interested in outside reading this site is good:

aigamedev.com/

They recently changed over to a subscription base which is unreasonably high, but still good info and the forums are open.

Also have you seen the following resources, they are good basic starting points.
