Ai help with position

[funnygamemaker]

Okay I don't really like asking for help, because I like to solve things on my own to understand it more, to my self I think this is a simple question but I cant seem to wrap my head around it. The question that I need help with is how do I make the AI chase after the player, I've been trying to figure this out by my self but I cant seem to under stand it, and how would I get the position x, y, and z, value of the player.

 

I tried using the entity as player.x ...etc.

I also tried self.Player:GetPositon()

 

Script.aipos = ""
Script.airot = ""
Script.player = "" --entity "Player"
Script.playerpos = "" -- vec3 "player cords"
function Script:Start()

end

function Script:UpdateWorld(x, y, z)
local playerpos = self.player:GetPosition(x, y, z)

ply = self.player:GetPosition()
plyv3 = ply:ToString()

self.entity:Point(self.player, 2, Time:GetSpeed() * 0.1)
self.entity:Move(ply.x, ply.y, ply.z)
end

function Script:UpdatePhysics()
end

If you are using the navmesh, then you will want to use Entity:GoToPoint() and Entity:SetInput() for navigation. Look at the inherent MonsterAI.lua script for a working solution.

Thanks, and sorry for my mistake, I must of overlooked the files and didnt see the MonsterAI.lua

My suggestion would be to look at the tutorial map 'Events and AI' map that also comes with a video tutorial.

There is also a Follow() command that will have your AI follow another character (player if you will).
