Hi!
Im using the
"Ai Entity Go To Position"
for my RTS-game, the problem is that the object goes to the position, stops for a few seconds, then returns to its starting point

How do I get it to stop when it hit the point, so it don't return to it's starting point?

btw, I don't want to set it to
"AI Set Entity Control x,0"
Because then my units won't respond to the enemy with you me controlling every thing.

check if its not defending anything and also check if it isnt in stationary mode

here is my code
ai start

make object plain 1,100,100
xrotate object 1,90

AUTOCAM OFF

make object sphere 10,2.5 : color object 10,rgb(255,000,000)

make object sphere 2,5
color object 2, rgb(255,000,000)
ai add enemy 2,2

make object sphere 3,5
color object 3, rgb(255,255,000)
ai add enemy 3,3

make object sphere 4,5
color object 4, rgb(255,255,255)
ai add enemy 4,4

make object sphere 5,5
color object 5, rgb(000,255,000)
ai add enemy 5,4

pick screen mousex(),mouseY(),1000
vx# = get pick vector x()
vy# = get pick vector y()
vz# = get pick vector z()
dy# = -camera position y()/vy#
vx# = vx#*dy# + camera position x()
vz# = vz#*dy# + camera position z()
position object 10,vx#,0,vz#

picked = pick object (mousex(),mousey(),2,5)
if mouseclick()=1 and picked > 0
selected = picked
endif

if mouseclick()=2 and selected > 0
AI Entity Go To Position selected,object position x(10),object position z(10)
endif

text 000,000,"picked : " + str$(picked)
text 000,015,"selected : " + str$(selected)

ai update
sync
loop

How do I check if it is in stationary mode? (Will check the manual, just in case I don't find the answer I don't have to go back and edit the post... hell' yea im lazy )

After a small search I changed my code to this
ai start

make object plain 1,100,100
xrotate object 1,90

AUTOCAM OFF

make object sphere 10,2.5 : color object 10,rgb(255,000,000)

make object sphere 3,5

ai add enemy 3,3

make object sphere 4,5
color object 4, rgb(255,255,255)
ai add enemy 4,4

make object sphere 5,5

but it still dosn't work

Whats happening is you entity is returning to its idle position when it reaches the target location. I don't know how to stop this but what you can do is wait until it reaches the target location then use ai set entity idle position and pass the current position of the entity.

e.g.



This will set the idle position to the current position of the entity, which will prevent it from returning to the start position.
