Terrain Picking navigation

by James Sun · in General Discussion · 05/11/2004 (12:52 am) · 2 replies

Anybody konw how to pick a spot on terrain, and have the character walk to that location? This is to replace the standard WASD+Mouse navigation, and instead using mouse to tell the character where on the terrain to walk to. Thanks!

Check out this resource:

You can use the pickPoint function to obtain an xyz position of a click, then have a player walk there.

AIPlayer::setMoveDestination()

Or you could go one further, and use AI player path nodes, place down a new node where the mouse was clicked.

Hope this gives you some hints on where to go.
