Hi,

I'm trying to make an AI, and i'm having some trouble.
I tried to make it walk towards me until it reached a certain distance.
I thought that making it walk in the direction of the line i made between the[/code] position of the player and the ai, but i don't know how to do that. This is what i tried, it kind of works, but it's not perfect. (beginner)

[code]
Edge dir;

bool update()
{
dir.set(ai[0].pos(), players[0].pos());

if(Dist(players[0].pos(), ai[0].pos()) > 3)
{
input.turn = dir.dir().xz();
input.move.z = 1;

if(dir.dir().z < 0)
{
angle.x = dir.dir().x + PI;
}
else
{
angle.x = -dir.dir().x;
}

}
else
{
input.move.z = 0;
}

return super.update();
}
[code]

Thanks in advance

Hi,

It would be a lot more readable if you could post code in correct code tags.

Let's see.
1. Don't use Edge to indicate a direction. What you want to use is a vector (Vec).
2. Since you will use a vector, you can use vector math to get the direction from AI to the player.


Now, it's as simple as calling actionMoveDir(dir) on your ai. Alternatively, you can also use actionMoveto(..) and pass a world position. This would probably give you some more control over where exactly the AI should go to.

Thanks a lot!
