I have started coding on the AI engine for my game and have encountered a problem, it seems that dark AI dosent seem to like my .x map, my question: is there a way to use this sort of map with dark AI or do i have to make my own map editor that utilises DBPro primatives? (im in the process of doing this for the time being)

thanks in advance

If you make the map up of seperate components (limbs) you can use the "make object from limb" command to extract them as seperate objects. Then use these seperate objects to build obstacles.

Or you could spend the next 3 months trying to build a custom editor...

The next 3 months? Why would it take that long...

You'd just load your map in, then place down boxes, spheres, or planes, around the map, for obstacles. Save each primitive's size, position, rotation, and type to a data file, then load it in to your game later, setting each primitive as an obstacle.

Could be done in an hour...

thanks ruccus, i never thought of it that way, just using DBPro primatives as bounding boxes for the AI (now for the hard part of working out where each box goes in the world co-ordinates, or is there a function for this to save me alot of trial and error)
