bot choosing waypoints
« on: July 01, 2007, 07:21:50 pm »
i have a question...when u force a bot to choose which way to go...what do u put on the way point?
for example
A=way point
-= wall
                        2A
          1A        -------------------
                         2B
i want to way point from 1A to 2A and 2B, giving the bot the choice to choose which way he wants to go. however, which direction must i way point to do so? if i way point 1A to move up and right, there is no way he can go to 2B, and if i way point 1A to only go right, he cannot go to 2A...so what do i do?

Do both.  Make 1A target both 2A and 2B, then the bot will randomly choose between the two.

^ That's why the action on a waypoint directs waypoints BEHIND it on how to get to it.

Code: [Select]
A -> B
B is labeled Run Right, not A; A has no action.

And yes, spkka is correct. Try to space them out evenly, or else bots will tend to take the route with a closer wypt. (only more often, not all the time, unless they're right next to each other or something). See the article Pathing in my waypointing guide for more info.

Yeah. So your 2B would be Run Right, and to get to 2A you would set perhaps a Jump waypoint, then maybe a Fly if the distance is long enough, THEN Run Right... but A itself only has Run Right (to let bots from the left get to IT)

If you could take a screenshot of the area in question, I could map it out for you real quickly.
