Hey,

plz take a look at this very simple AI script

+ Code Snippet

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header
desc = AI

;Triggers
:waypointstate=0:animate=2,waypointstart
:waypointstate=3:animate=2,waypointnext
:waypointstate=4:animate=2,waypointrandom
:waypointstate=5:animate=2,waypointreverse

:state=0:state=1
:state=1,random=5:rotateheadrandom=65
:state=1,plrcanbeseen:settarget,rotatetotarget,state=2
:state=1,shotdamage=5:settarget,rotatetotarget,state=2
:state=1,noiseheard=20:settarget,rotatetotarget,state=2

:state=2,ifweapon=1,plrcanbeseen,rateoffire:waypointstop,rotatetoplr,settarget,useweapon=1,rundecal=6
:state=2,ifweapon=0:waypointstop,setframe=6,state=3
:state=2,plrcannotbeseen:state=0

:state=3:incframe=6
:state=3,frameatend=6:reloadweapon,sound=audiobank\guns\reload.wav,state=2

;End of Script

as it shows it (should) follow waypoints.. well it doesn't, and the weird part is when I remove this line

+ Code Snippet

:state=1,plrcanbeseen:settarget,rotatetotarget,state=2

it works just fine.. I thought the problem is in (plrcanbeseen) condition but if so wouldn't the enemy shoot even when it doesn't see me?
I have no idea wut could be the problem.. anyhelp?

Thank You..

Is your enemy seeing you from across the level? You should put a "plrdistwithin" condition with the "plrcanbeseen" condition to make sure it's not seeing the player from far away.

Also, make sure your entity's view cone isn't obscenely high.

but IF it's a (plrcanbeseen) condition problem wouldn't it suppose to shoot me wherever am I due to this line?

+ Code Snippet

:state=2,ifweapon=1,plrcanbeseen,rateoffire:waypointstop,rotatetoplr,settarget,useweapon=1,rundecal=6

also it's not all the way through the level, it's only about 8 squares away.. also to make sure that he doesn't see me I use wireframe to see where it is..

PS: I have viewcone set to 50

Thank You..

well apparently not that good or I'd be able to solve this :S I've been on this for hours and I don't have a clue wut could be the problem..

anyway I'd love to help with ur game, my mail is in my profile if u need anything just tell me..

@Plystire: forgot to say that I can't use plrdistwithin cause say if am right next to the enemy but there's a wall between us, it would return true so with the plrcanbeseen condition not working it's useless..

I've made a much more simpler script just to tell me when am I being seen by the enemy by showing a hud when plrcanbeseen is true.. it's all messed up and the hud shows when am no where near the enemy

here's the script

+ Code Snippet

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header
desc = AI

;Triggers
:waypointstate=0:animate=2,waypointstart
:waypointstate=3:animate=2,waypointnext
:waypointstate=4:animate=2,waypointrandom
:waypointstate=5:animate=2,waypointreverse

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=30,hudimagefine=cover.png,hudname=cover,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=2

:state=2,plrcanbeseen:hudshow=cover
:state=2,plrcannotbeseen:hudfadeout=cover

UPDATE: I think the problem is in the source code for the latest update, I've tried re-installing FPSC and running it without any updates it worked just fine, when I updated to 1.15 it didn't work anymore..

anyone plz try it and confirm this...

If that is the case, you may want to try out the new v116 beta and see if it's fixed or still broken. We don't want this bug to remain unfixed in the new update, and if it's still there, you should definitely make a mention of it in the beta thread or directly to Lee via email.

take a look at this

+ Code Snippet

:waypointstate=0:animate=2,waypointstart
:waypointstate=3:animate=2,waypointnext
:waypointstate=4:animate=2,waypointrandom
:waypointstate=5:animate=2,waypointreverse
:random=5,plrcannotbeseen:rotateheadrandom=45

:state=0,plrcanbeseen:setcursor=20 20,printstr=1

:state=0,shotdamage=5:rotatetoplr,waypointstop,state=1
:state=0,noiseheard=20:rotatetoplr,waypointstop,state=1

when I use this script it works really fine, but once I change it to

:waypointstate=0:animate=2,waypointstart
:waypointstate=3:animate=2,waypointnext
:waypointstate=4:animate=2,waypointrandom
:waypointstate=5:animate=2,waypointreverse

:state=0,plrcanbeseen:state=1
:state=0,shotdamage=5:rotatetoplr,waypointstop,state=1
:state=0,noiseheard=20:rotatetoplr,waypointstop,state=1

it doesn't work and way points are not followed

any idea why?
Thank You..

PB mod is a modification of v115. Therefore it won't work until Lee gives us the source code for v116 and PB is updated.

Glad to see it works in v116.
