Could be usefull for beginners or people needing some ready to use base code for "move to mouse character system".

 

Enjoy

 

 

I will bring some improvements as i use it in my own project, like more camera controls, or special visibility when character is hidden behind 3D models.

If i duplicate the crawler , why only one go to the point i clicked ? as they use same code ?

Did i missed something ?

 

Another point : The character orients to a strange direction when it reached the goal position using GotoPoint ,instead of keeping facing the direction given , it is a bug ?

When I do this I always call Stop() when within a certain distance of destination. What you are seeing is probably floating point errors or something like that.

 

As for your other problem you are using MouseHit() which will only register once per frame so it's registering for 1 enemy but not the other because they get processed in the same frame. That's my guess anyway with just looking at the code. One way to get around this and simulate a hit function like that is to give each script a bool value for mouse down and then do:

 

if window:MouseDown(1) == true and self.mouseDown == false then
-- do code here on mouse down
self.mouseDown = true
else if window:MouseDown(1) == false and self.mouseDown == true then
-- do code here on mouse up after mouse down
self.mouseDown = false
end

Thanks Rick.

 

I updated the script with your MouseDown and Stop function and it's ok now
