So I'm designing an FPS in DBC, and I need some AI. I just have a soldier on the matrix right now who stands still in a walking animation. I want him to walk around the matrix for now, over in my RPG Snippet thread Andrew Neale had given me code for waypoint based AI and I tried to add that into my game (to find the code go to the RPG Snippet Thread), so I tried to implement the code and my game wouldn't comiple, and I didn't get any reason as to why from code keeper, just an old error about music which I had already fixed. So how could I implement the AI into DBC? Right now I'm focusing on AI that don't hurt you then I'll be adding in some enemies, which thanks to 3D Monster Hunt shouldn't be that hard. Any help would really be apprieciated.

Have a heart and join my message board.

Well... I suppose (In Theory) if you want your enemy to patrol betwwen two points you make 2 boxes/cubes and place thme where you want your man to patrol between. Then Hide them both. Use the POINT OBJECT cmd to make your guy face the now 'invisible' boxes then use move Object to make him move toward it.

Then do something like:

If Object Collision(Enemy,box)>0
XRotate Object Enemy,180
EndIf

Then do the same for when he reaches the other box!

Ill try and get some code up tonite!

Here it is as Promised!

It is just a Cuboid that goes side to side but it could adapted and use in a game to simulate guard patrol routes! If you want you can add in more waypoints (boxes) so your guy has a more interesting and complex patrol route!

Okay, here's a problem I had. Your code worked perfectly but when I tried to implement into my game the soldier moved backwards (I tried rotating him, it didn't make a difference) and when he hit the first checkpoin he wouldn't continue to the next on, he'd just be messed up like he was struggling to move. This is really annoying.

Thanks, it's a game that relates around time, and I just got the code. The demo won't be out for awhile, maybe not until another month or so when I start a W.i.P of it. I wanted the Swat by the way, but I can implement the code too, and then I'll post back with any other help I need.

Pretty much I need help with enemy AI now so they fire if they see you, but I don't want to implement this until I can make my shooting look good. Kinda like the shooting looks in TimeSplitters.

My AI System im developing does just that! Have you ever played MGS1? Well in that the guards have a cone of vision and if you went into their field of vision they chased you and shot at you! I am working on some functions at the moment!

(I would do a DLL but im still learing C++)

Well I'm going to add in weapon changing and weapons you can pick up (it's easy as I've done it before) but I really need to make my firing look realistic (I have another thread, and it seems you know that as you've replied). Also I'm learning Deled so I can make actual levels for the game. Gir is doing a model for me which I can edit the texture to make multiple characters (You'd have to know the story as to why I could do that, but of course just today my MySQL databased died again today. ) And I want to find some free guns that are more futuristic or find some gun making tutorials for wings.

Okay, so I put your function in my code, and I'm wondering how must I modify it so it works? And if it should work the way it is what should be happening? Because my code compiles with your function in it just it isn't any different.
