hi all, for some reason, this code is making it so that my guard ALWAYS has an infinite "LOS" or Line Of Sight...

As far as I can tell, you only check whether the AI spots the player before the main loop. The "iseeu" variable is never updated.

This check must be made every sync and hence must be placed inside the main loop, or it'll always use the value you set before "do."

Did you put your code back to this


I think it works out if the entity is looking at your camera's x,y .

Now you found out were this code should go see if works.

how big is the dwarf?
Plus what's your question?

The code is only checking to see if the entity can see the camera.

this what model I have been using to test your code



it in the help file so it should slot straight in, try it with that then tell me if the model is smaller or bigger than the one you are using. Sounds like its bigger.

here how I see this working.

iseeu = 2 - if the the point is within the inner view arc[this is not set].
iseeu = 1 - if the point is within the outer view arc [set as 1 for straight ahead].
iseeu = 0 - if the point cannot be seen [not in range or facing camera].

When I run your code here I get iseeu=1 to start and iseeu=0 when at 30,0,30, is that what you are getting.

or at 0,0,0, iseeu always = 0

This set viewing arc AI SET ENTITY VIEW ARC 1= straight ahead only 120 = wide angle view.
This set how far away it can see AI SET ENTITY VIEW RANGE 4= units
or 50 in view but only if facing you.

run below to see what I mean, when it turns around it can see you now.

change this to AI SET ENTITY VIEW RANGE 1,1000 then it can see you if you are within the 1000 range limit.

Bit of shooting in the dark as I've not seen or played WoW.

try putting a wall to hide behind then see.

I just added a player to your code now all is does is Attack me even when out side the sphere. <- sphere not added to container so it not seen as a obstacle to hide behind.

because we are in line of sight plus just seen that you use camera 1 in your code, no wonder I was having a hard time think it was the default camera 0.

change most of it to camera 1 but still see me and can turn around faster than I can control the camera.

I would take this bit out and continue with what you were doing until it works right then added this bit until that works.

A bit like getting a car and bike at the same time which do you choose to master. you would not get far if you did both at the same time.

I change the range to 20, now if I am under 20 units away he will turn and attack me else he'll carry on patrolling.

So it seem you have to decide how far away the range is to be.

Will soon know all there is to know on how to make a Mad Entity!

Think of what you've learned doing this.

1. how to set the view range and angle.
2. how to make a way point system.
3. how to set the model to face the correct direction.
4. how to set the patrol time.
5. how to set the speed of the Entity.
6. how to show what the entity is doing and thinking.
7. how to get what the entity is seeing.
