Lua ai problem

[dennis]

Heya guys,

 

I have a problem with the genericai script from imchaseinyou

It keeps on shooting through walls... How can I fix this?

 

Thanks in common,

Dennis

I have this problem as well..

probably could check to see what it picks if it is the player or not, if it isn't then it shouldn't cause damage to the player.

it's referring to a distancetopoint, and I am getting attacked! the problem is that I only can stop the attack when I'm out of attack range

i know a way to remedy this is to use a pick to see if it hits the player, if it hits say a prop or scene or what ever then the damage should be 0.

 

(or if it is a breakable prop apply the damage to the object it picked, that has a keyvalue breakable or something)

[dennis]

what pick should I use then?

 

the target is determined here:

 

function Script:IsTargetInAttackRange()
local pos = self.entity:GetPosition()
local targetpos = self.target.entity:GetPosition()
if math.abs(targetpos.y-pos.y)<self.attackRange then
 if pos:xz():DistanceToPoint(targetpos:xz())<self.attackRange then
  return true
 end
end
return false
end

 

and the attack is started here:

 

elseif self.mode=="attack" then
 if self.attackbegan~=nil then
  if t-self.attackbegan>300 then
   self.attackbegan=nil
   self.target:Hurt(self.damage)
  end
 end
 local pos = self.entity:GetPosition()
 local targetpos = self.target.entity:GetPosition()
 local dx=targetpos.x-pos.x
 local dz=targetpos.z-pos.z
 self.entity:AlignToVector(-dx,0,-dz)
end

 

I tried to put the attack before "if self.attackbegin~=nil then"
