Swimming AIPlayer

by Thomas -elfprince13- Dickerson · in Technical Issues · 07/13/2006 (9:45 am) · 3 replies

Is there a way to make AIPlayer's swim in water like normal Player's can?

this is for blockland which I believe has the crouch and jetpack mods thrown in.

    Not sure how much this will help, but you might want to look at this post.
    I haven't been able to make it toggle on and off yet, (not sure anyone has), but if you do, you could make turn on with an onEnterLiquid or something.

    P.S.- Let me know how it goes.

    Well, I dont have a torque license (im working on a mod for a preexisting game) so I cant read that topic, but I did work this out:

    function move(%who,%targetlocation){
    %targetx = getWord( %targetlocation, 0);
    %targety = getWord( %targetlocation, 1);
    %targetz = getWord( %targetlocation, 2);

    %whox = getWord( %who.getTransform(), 0);
    %whoy = getWord( %who.getTransform(), 1);
    %whoz = getWord( %who.getTransform(), 2);

    %who.setMoveDestination(%targetlocation);
    if ( %whoz < %targetz)
    {
    %bvel = %who.getVelocity();
    %xvel = getWord(%bvel, 0);
    %yvel = getWord(%bvel, 0);
    %zvel = getWord(%bvel, 0);
    %who.setVelocity(%xvel SPC %yvel SPC (%zvel + 17));
    }

    if (inWater(%who) != 0){
    %who.playThread(0,crouch);
    if(%whoz > %targetz){
    %bvel = %who.getVelocity();
    %xvel = getWord(%bvel, 0);
    %yvel = getWord(%bvel, 0);
    %zvel = getWord(%bvel, 0);
    %who.setVelocity(%xvel SPC %yvel SPC (%zvel - 20));
    }
    } else{
    %who.stopThread(0);
    }
    }


    function inWater(%bot){
    if(isObject(%bot)){
    %bt = %bot.getTransform();
    %center = getWords(%bt, 0 ,2);

    initContainerRadiusSearch(%center,1.0,$TypeMasks::WaterObjectType);
    return containerSearchNext();
    }
    return 0;
    }
