hi guys,
For the last 2 days i'm working on a simple deathmatch game. I've seen alot before but they where eeeh.. well the psyhics of the player where good but the A.I. . And I'm trying to make some good A.I. . What ive created sofar is a simple map with 2 diffrent items ( ammo, health). The players try to kill eachother, but if they have no ammo then they are going to get ammo. Same with health. I haven't made yet the killing animation for the characters, so if one get killed he is just spawning some where in the level, working on that..

If i let the players play against eachother the result is everytime different. So I think that i've made some SIMPLE A.I. I'm planning to make them think much further than only, "need ammo", "need health" etc. But that is work for the future

Have a look at the video i made, seen from above. The game speed is way too high but i've already fixed that, but ive made the video before i fixed it, so don't care about the speed. Just look at what they're doing

video zipped, 2.1 mb

well i can tell you actually it is very hard, because the enemys dont have to think about there actions, they are just doing what the code says. Every time i try to battle againt the enemys i finish 3th or 4 th, really it is hard

they do, i use this kind of code for aiming the bullets:

rotate a bullet to the enemy's direction
randomize it a little
shoot

or:
bullet angle = enemy angle - 3 + rnd(6)

yes, this is very basic A.I. They search for a target and fire at it, if they have ammo, if they don't then they're going to get ammo on one of the ammo places. It's the same with health. But what i'm trying to create now is that they think about there actions and react on their envirement, so not that they just do what the code say, but that they can choose from several things, that will be depend on the envirement of the game and the place where the A.I. is. if it is in open grass then it will search for cover instead of fireing at an enemy. But im working on that and it's going pretty well
