Question about Chr :: Bool actionMoveTo (C Vec &pos);

Hi All,

I have finally started playing around again and am stuck on something really stupid. I am using tutorial "14 - Game Basics --> 01 Character".

I have added the following class

Code:

class Enemy : Game.Chr 

{

   virtual Bool update() 

   {

      return super.update(); 

   }

}

Enemy enemy;

In init i did the following

Code:

enemy.create(*Game.Objs(UID(2919624831, 1261075521, 753053852, 3651670215))); // create player from object parameters

   enemy.pos(Vec(-3, 0,-3));

   // THIS WORKS FINE (Uncomment out to see)

   //enemy.actionMoveDir(Vec(0, 0, 0));

   // THIS ONE NEVER DOES ANYTHING

   enemy.actionMoveTo(Vec(0, 0, 0));

I of course added the update call and the drawPrepare call as well so it works, it is just I don't understand how actionMoveTo [/quote]works if you don't have an area and therefor a PathMesh. Can actionMoveTo be used without an Area?

For ease, i have also attached the whole main in a .txt

Hello,

I haven't checked your code, but perhaps in Init the world is not loaded yet?
Game.World.update loads the actual world data.

There is no game world. I know how to use the function with a world but not without

The function works by having a PathWorld, in which case it first gets the height of the terrain or the physics object it hits and uses that in the PathWorld to get the closest-to point which is pathable.

Hi Zervox,

Ahh ok. Sounds like it had no use without a world then. I am perfectly happy using move direction for now. Thanks for your clarification (I should get the source so I can see the inner workings of some of this stuff!!)

I do recommend getting the source smile

The Game.Chr operates on Game.World and Game.World.path by the way smile
