AFX, L3DT, Gavin Bunney immersive AI

by Morrie · in Torque Developer Network · 02/23/2008 (7:28 am) · 6 replies

I'm using TGEA, I'm making a 3rd person shooter like Gears of War.

Question 1: I know the AFX pack works with TGEA and the Gavin Bunney immersive AI works in TGEA, but I want to know is does the L3DT work with Gavin Bunney immersive AI?

Question 2: If I buy the AFX:ComboPack for TGE can I upgrade to AFX:ComboPack for TGEA or do I have to pay the $110?

Question 3: I'm planning on using the for blood on the enemy or opposing team, can it do this?

Question 4: How would I create dynamic water, like they do in the Unreal 3 Engine? Any good books, code or resources would be greatly appreciated.

Question 1: The A* path finding will have to be altered to support Atlas terrain

Question 2:
Quote:Attention AFX for TGE License Owners! If you have a license for AFX for TGE, then you can upgrade to AFX:CoreTech for TGEA at a discount. For Indie users the cost is $45. Please email derekb@garagegames.com or ericf@garagegames.com to receive your promotion code.

Question 3: Yes, you could use particle effects or texture overlays as well (someone else should answer this question really)

Question 4: I havnt looked at UE3 but ive heard its pretty impressive. TGEA has water that appears to move around if thats what you mean, its not really static.

So, I cant use Finite State Machine for the AI if I get L3DT.

Yes you can, just may have to modify the pathfinding algorithm in it to work with Atlas terrain.

And.. holy **** that water is amazing. I dont think anything like that exists for TGEA.

So, it would be very difficult to make the water look like that.

Well not impossible, but it would be hard yes. I think you could find the direction a player is moving in the water and apply a material on the water directly behind the player or some other hacky way of doing it.
