I created 2 entities and made one friendly and the other enemy. They "attack" each other, but they slowly move away from each other.
It doesn't matter what I set the AI_SetEntityAttackDistance() value to, they do the same thing. I'm trying to get them to melee with each other-- not shoot guns at each other.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Perhaps AI SET ENTITY AVOID DISTANCE() will do the trick.

Quote: "This command sets the avoidance distance an entity will use when attacking another entity. If the target becomes closer than this distance, by either one of them moving, this entity will move away from the target to a point at least this distance from the target in a strafing backwards action (whether or not Can Strafe is set). This effects both Cautious and Aggressive stances."

Tried them both. Still nothing.

Have you adjusted the AI SET AVOID MODE() accordingly. Additionally AI SET RADIUS() might affect entity-entity collisions.

I think I already tried those also. I know I have AI_SetRadius to 1. That's the closest it can be.

If it's not an issue with GDK 2.0 command wrapping then it might be the automatic AI system's limitation. In which case manual mode is your best bet. You will need to manually process data received from AI system to control the entities. Takes some time to get it right but is really flexible.

Yea, that's what I was afraid of. It won't be too hard, but now I have to make functions to govern this.
