Can anyone help me in getting my enemy shown in the attached screenshot to avoid the obstacle?

I can see from the DEBUG that the obstacle has been added correctly from my table object using;

AI Add Static Obstacle obst1, 0, 1
AI Complete Obstacles

The waypoints are visible but the enemy does not create a path? Do I have to manually create paths for him to follow on the fly in automatic mode or what?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

your Container Number seem to be the wrong value, shouldn't be 0 for first level.

I get the following from the Dark AI chm file:

Syntax
AI Add Static Obstacle Obstacle Number
AI Add Static Obstacle Obstacle Number, Height
AI Add Static Obstacle Obstacle Number, Height, Container Number

My code
AI Add Static Obstacle obst1, 0, 1

Giving:
Obstacle Number = obst1
Height = 0 (Half height)
Container Number = 1

...I don't think that's the problem. Thanks anyway though.

Quote: "The container number allows you to add the obstacle to a different container, the default is 0.
"


I read the above as if I am on my main level it will be zero, if I went upstairs then it would be container 1.

have look at this thread
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=152922&b=30
might help.

Got it! Thanks @HowDo I get what you meant now!

I had my obstacles set up for container 1 but I hadn't specified that my enemy was in container 1 (AI Set Entity Container enemy, 1).

Attached is working screenshot if you are interested!

I saw the help files on the post and I'll be after those later for quick searching (thanks again!) but for the time being the chm file is OK.

AI is pretty cool once you start getting into it
