Getting AI to react to touch

by DreamPharaoh · in Technical Issues · 03/07/2008 (12:24 pm) · 3 replies

I have been using Mark's resource for AIguard. It has really helped my progression, but I am trying to get the bots to recognize when they are touched by a client. If I sneak up behind a bot and push into it, it just sits there until I am in front of it. I have tried numerous variations of the code below. I appreciate any help.



function AIPlayer::OnCollison(%this, %obj, %col, %tgt)
{
VectorSub(%tgt.player.getPosition(), %obj.getPosition());
if(%col.getClassName() $= %tgt)

{
echo("Ahh Haa!");

%obj.fov = 360;
%this.fovtrigger = %this.schedule($AI_PLAYER_ENHANCED_FOV_TIME,"restorefov", %obj);
}
}
//RestoreFOV - this function resets the AIPlayer's FOV back to the default value for the bot
function AIPlayer::restoreFOV(%this, %obj)
{
%obj.fov = $AI_PLAYER_FOV;
}

Try something like this
function AIPlayer::onCollision(%this, %obj, %col)
{
    if(%col.getDatablock().getName() $= "PlayerBody")
    { 
        echo("Found a target, lets attack");
        %obj.enhanceFov(%obj);
    }
    else
    {
        echo("Collided with something else");
    }
}

function AIPlayer::EnhanceFOV(%this, %obj)
{
	if (%obj.fov != 360)
	{
		%obj.fov = 360;
		%this.fovtrigger = %this.schedule($AI_PLAYER_ENHANCED_FOV_TIME,"restorefov", %obj);
	}
}

This doesn't work either. It doesn't even call an echo when toaching the back of an AI.

You need to use the datablock not the class. In stock TGE Eg.

function DemoPlayer::onCollision(%this,%obj,%col)
{
   if (%obj.getState() $= "Dead")
      return;

   // Try and pickup all items
   if (%col.getClassName() $= "Item")
      %obj.pickup(%col);

   // Mount vehicles
   %this = %col.getDataBlock();
   if ((%this.className $= WheeledVehicleData) && %obj.mountVehicle &&
         %obj.getState() $= "Move" && %col.mountable) {

      // Only mount drivers for now.
      %node = 0;
      %col.mountObject(%obj,%node);
      %obj.mVehicle = %col;
   }

   // if touched by player turn around and own him!     
}
