need A.I actionscript!

[madnessassault]

need help with programming the A.I for a platform game im making plz halp!

[ThePeasant]

A.I. is the most difficult part of programming IMHO. I know for the game I've been working on it was the most lengthy and stressful part of the process.

[mayoarm11]

the first step to making good AI (artificial intelligence) is to have good HI (human intelligence)

i just need a.i's to run accros a selected path and then hittest to goto a frame
'enemy = bug'
'hero = mouse'

and is it on slopes or flat land

You could do that with a motiontween.

Not if you want it to follow the character

[madnessassault]

possibly curved but mostly flat.. and the a.i will follow th mouse

He said run across a selected path.

You can make it try and attack your mouse with trig.

This will make the enemy rotate to the position of the mouse.
enemy.rotation=Math.atan2(enemy.x-mouseX ,mouseY,enemy.y);

Simple Trig to make the bug move to the mouse.
enemy.x+=Math.cos(enemy.rotation*Math.PI /180)*5;
enemy.y+=Math.sin(enemy.rotation*Math.PI /180)*5*-1;

Hope it helps you out a bit.

[Xeltio]

Also. If you want a enemy to run over a selected path its best to use an array to hold the points that movie clip needs to go to.

Just to get a common mistake out of the way:

A.I. stands for Artificial Intelligence. That means the computer is able to make its own decisions when needed.

Walking a NPC through a selected patch is just scripting.

[Fierce-deity490]

for the game im workin on atm, its a sidescroller, and the AI follow script is simple. Cant remember the exact syntax but its like
if hero._x => enemy._x
enemy._x += 5

So if the x axis of the enemy is less than the heroes, it adds to that axis. And vice versa..
does that help?

[madnessassault]

yer ill try the trig stuff thanks xeltio, why doesnt someone just join in on the collab and help me with al the actionscript cause all i can do is buttons
