Bots are too stupid!

[Ruuga]

So I'm making a mod where is UsSoldiers vs. German zombies and Germans are bots. But this is so annoying. Those German-zombies can't walk up the stairs. And also UsSoldier-bots just stay in the upper floor and don't come down.

When I'm the zombie same happens but 1 of the UsSoldier-bots can come down.

So what should I do? I hope you understanded because English is not my native language and so it's hard to me express my self.

EDIT: And the zombies should run to the flag, and the flag is above them in the upper floor.

Is the flag directly above them on the above floor? The bots simply think they are next to the flag. The pathfinding system for this game is 2D in nature. Thus your limited to how you can have bots navigate 3D structures like buildings. So you can't have a 2 floor building with a flag on the top floor. The bots will never make it to the flag because they will reach the floor under the flag and then think they are at the flag. This is because the stratagic areas are also 2D and they have no setting to define their "vertical" position ingame.

You could alter the pathmaps so that the only way to the flag is to go up the stairs. This means you can't allow the bots to pass under the flag/strategic area from the floor below otherwise they will then think they reached the flag and will just sit there.

Ok. Thanks, now I'll now how to solve this problem!

You might think you know how to solve it, but have you got the tools to do so?

yep, you can see... in StrategicArea.con u only found 2 numbers to define position
example:

Code: Select all

aiStrategicArea.create AX_Base 53/100 78/125 197

look at my zombies

[Dennis|8749236]

change this :

Code: Select all

ai.setVehicleBehaviour Infantery MoveTo GotoWaypoint2d 4 0

to this... i guess it will work...

Code: Select all

ai.setVehicleBehaviour Infantery MoveTo GotoWaypoint3d 4 0

also adjust the StrategicAreas...
