Frustum Check
Hi,
I have a problem with implementing my Game AI in Esenthel.
I have created a FSM and a Creature Class, I also have some State classes, for instance PatrolState.
In the update method I want the creature to change to PursueState if it sees the player.
Well, now I've no clue how to do some kind of Frustum test in Esenthel...
The method looks like so:
Code:
void PatrolState::Execute(Creature *pCreature) {
if(!pCreature->action) {
if(m_pWaypoint && m_pWaypoint->points()) {
m_MoveTo=(m_MoveTo+1)%m_pWaypoint->points(); // set variable to next point index
pCreature->actionMoveTo(m_pWaypoint->point(m_MoveTo).pos);
}
}
//ToDo: replace "distance check" with frustum check
if(player && Dist(pCreature->pos(), player->pos()) <= 5){
//Pursue Player
pCreature->FSM->ChangeState(new PursueState());
}
}
Any Idea?
I thought about creating a physX actor to test it, but its a bit
complicated to do it like this, isn't it?
Thanks in advance!
regards,
Kevin

RE: Frustum Check
Hi,
You don't need frustum check (I mean Frustum class),
you can just calculate the angle between look direction and player position
something like this:
Code:
Vec delta_to_test=test.pos()-this.pos();
Vec look_dir=this.look_dir();
Bool sees=(AngleBetween(look_dir,delta_to_test)<=DegToRad(60));

Ok, thank you.
I've tried it, but I failed...
The code:
Code:
Vec toPlayer = player->pos() - pCreature->pos();
//Transform forward vector with Creatures rotation matrix, to
//get the direction it is facing:
Vec look_dir=Vec(0, 0, -1);
look_dir.mul(pCreature->matrix());
float angle = AbsAngleBetween(toPlayer, look_dir);
//If player is at distance of 3 to creature and the player is inside the FOV
//of the creature, change to Pursuit state
if(Dist(pCreature->pos(), player->pos()) <= 3 && angle <= DegToRad(45)){
pCreature->FSM->ChangeState(new PursueState());
}
pCreature is a Creature (which is a "child" of Game::Obj), and player a Game::Chr.
//Edit:
I think I got it 
Code:
Vec toPlayer = player->pos() - pCreature->pos();
//Transform forward vector with Creatures rotation matrix, to
//get the direction it is facing:
Vec look_dir=VecDir[DIRE_FORWARD];
look_dir.mul(pCreature->matrix());
look_dir -= pCreature->pos();
float angle = AbsAngleBetween(!toPlayer, !look_dir);
//If player is at distance of 3 to creature and the player is inside the FOV
//of the creature, change to Pursuit state
if(Dist(pCreature->pos(), player->pos()) <= 10 && angle <= DegToRad(30)){
pCreature->FSM->ChangeState(new PursueState());
}
