I am making a game called FlyBlaster 2000. You shoot flies with the FlyShooter®. However, after completing the AI for the flies, the FlyShooter also follows the AI code. Even though nothing in the AI refers to object number 4(FlyShooters number)
What is wrong? Here is the AI code.

Hmm... odd. You might try putting compressing all that into a single function though. That might help some...

Err... no. This is what I meant:


Or... would that mess it up? (I don't understand the waits, exactly... so it probably needs tweeked)

Every time you put in a wait command... it pauses the ENTIRE game... so that could be where your problem is...

Try putting the code into a function and using the timer command... Like this:



and then just put _random_move() in to replace where you have the gosub command...

Hope I Helped...

Now it always says Program ran into a function declaration. I haven't used function before so maybe i'm doing something wrong.

ah, ok, well you need to create a whole new *.dba document and paste that code into it and save it as whatever.dba in the same directory as your main program.
Then, anywhere in your program (ussually at the top) you put in the line:
#INCLUDE "whatever.dba"

then, like i said, put in the line:
_random_move()
instead of the gosub line...

Hope I Helped...

you dont need to put in the include# command
if you have a function, place the function after the loop
somewhere where the game wont run into it. eg

if there is no loop in the game then place the command 'end' where you want to stop the game and place the function after that.

ok...fine. I had some code that pointed the camera at one of the flies so that I could see what they were doing. However, since the camera moved every time the fly did, it LOOKED like the other objects were moving. When I told the camera to point at a specific cooridinate instead of a variable, it worked.
