Hi, im new to dark basic proffesional , and have an ok understanding about player movement and such , but Im not to keen on where do get started with ai .. for lets say a first person shooter would I just store the variables for the player and some how make the object move towards the player? Or how would I check a certain distance from the player object and to the baddy? Sorry im just all disconbobulated on this. If anyone could point me to a good start?

Yeah thats a good tutorial thread to start with. Just simple game logic I suggest to try and make a cube following you without using arrays so you understand the process of what actually happens. After that create multiple 'baddie's' WITH arrays << very importand that you understand those!! , when you've got that masterd, go for something like the project I did a while ago ( attachy)

Good luck

in some situations it can boil down to pure timer speed and detection distance for a lot of enemies, I think im going to get dark ai as ive had a stab a few times at multiple monsters running timers inside a 2d extrapolated XY to XZ a*pathfinding algorythym and cant quite fathom it for this art head brain.

The other problem is enemy overlapping but a simple disatnce collision check on a timer can keep that away from the fps jewel.
