Hello,
well I've been working on a FPS, and there is a section of the map that is like a maze, and enemies located in various spots in the maze. I want to know if there is a way to have the entities avoid all the various walls, without having to make a bunch of obstacles.

All help will be apreciated
thank you

AI ADD OBSTACLE FROM LEVEL

Dark Physics makes any hot drink go cold.

Well I looked at the command, and i'm not sure i completely understand it. Is it possible for someone to post an example code using the AI ADD OBSTACLE FROM LEVEL command?

Yah, its hard to understand this command . But for the plane height input, ex:


If you set the plane height to 10, it will make a thin plain that intersects your entire level, detecting which ones are walls or open space. ex:



I don't really understand what the other two inputs do, but I just set them to a low value like 10, then use the obstacle debug commands to further adjust them.

ai add obstacle from level objnum,planeheight,minlength,minheight

objnum is the object you want to check for collisions.
planeheight is where it will check for collisions, imagine a plane cutting through your level at that height and anything it collides with will be added.
minlength/minheight is the size of what it collides have to be to be added as a collision?
