Yeah you did! Do you want it in the AI GOSUB? And I keep getting an Object Does not exist error!

EDIT : I fixed the error! Youd changed Soviet Idle to soviet move!
EDIT : Now I get Object already exists error!

Ok right it works now BUT! the man will only chase you if you stay in his view
That is a test. Do you want the cde now or do you want me to try and get the guy to chase you even if you are not in his Field of View?

Man this is really annoying! I need a bounding box around the player but its just not HAPPENING! I cant see it anywhere! Check your e-mail Ive sent you the code all you need to do is create a box around the player.

EDIT: I probably wont be able to do any more tonite. But Ill carry on tommorow. Please post if you get it working!

Thanks. This is going to be hard though, I'm not sure how I can get a bounding box to work if my games an FPS. I could do it for 3rd person but not 1st person.

Ive had another idea that doesnt involve bounding boxes but Ill have to test it first. So give me some time...

For the bounding box just try positioning it at the camera position

Oh yeah how long have you been using DB and do you have any other finished games I can try out?

I've been using DB for a week before my join date. Of course there was a 100 days were I was using DBP rather than DBC. I don't have any other finished games.

LOOOONG SILENCE! Ok I have been working on this new AI. It works by working out positions around the enemy object but I am having trouble doing it. I have a bad feeling that I may need to use arrays for it. But I dont know how to use arrays! The example in my DBC manual is something to do with lottery numbers! Not very helpful! I need a better example of arrays. Could you help please?

Have you checked out Binary Moon? I've only used arrays in DBP but it also had involved types which isn't supported in DBC.

In that small piece of code I would be correct in saying that it should say "I SEE YOU!!" even if I move our of range? Because that's how it was for me.

I didn't think it was finished. But it said I See you! all the time... From the code I don't think it should maybe just some odd error, lemme check again.

I know I cant seem to work out whats wrong! Everything seems allright...

I was reading an article about how the AI in Halo works...very interesting! It has 'Tags' On all the objects so that the AI knows whether it can use the object as cover or if It can jump on top of it etc. It also has a 'Posting' System where 1 AI guy Eg. a Grunt finds another guy Eg Elite and posts him a meesage Eg We are both looking for the same guy, lets team up and ambush him! The elite then posts back to the grunt and either says Yes OK and helps the little guy or says No and carrys on with what he was doing! I thought it was pretty interesting and I thought you might want to find a way of implmenting it into your game?

Well I haven't worked on it recently and it isn't working at the moment because of that god damn muzzle flash. I can't get it to look good at ALL! And I can't get my shooting to look good either.However I have a really good muzzle flare pic from Limefly... Once I fix that and add in some objectives then sure I'll send you one... But that won't be for a week or 2.

That's a good question. Anyways I'm going to try and finally put in the AI code you put in, haven't gotten around to it cuz of the shooting which is going good now, then I'll try and see if I can implement that for multiple enemies but keep the code as small as possible for shorter compile times and quicker FPS, then I'll try and add attacking enemies. Along with making the Swat Guy help the player.

OK I think I may have found a flaw with my AI! It just means that he can see you if hes looking the other way. I will fix this since I will need it for my game too.
