RE: Server sided AI
Is this compatible with 2.0?
If so what is the best way to bring it in?[/u]

It should be compatible with the EE 2.0, the server sided code should work to a 100%. However though when it comes to client, I am not sure if the Meshes are handled in the same way, but it shouldn't be a problem converting it over to 2.0. smile

Man, it's always that semicolon...

RE: Server sided AI
Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in here. Thanks so much for posting this. It gives me a really good base to work with. I have been able to incorporate it into my modified version of Ineisis as well.

Here is a video I posted of 1000 bots running pretty well (don't know why the volume is low). Thanks again Fex and TB Joker.

RE: Server sided AI
Some people were asking for 2.0 code. I only made a very small change to use UID instead of file name but thought i should post it:

Client.AI
Code:
class AI : Game::Chr
{
  
   Int ID; //ID so that we can identify which the server wants us to use
   Vec OldLocation; //Old target location
   Str Name; // Name-
   Flt scale =2.0;

   //Memc<AI> ai;
   void AI::spawn(Str name, Game.ObjParamsPtr &obj, Int id, Vec pos)
   {

      super.create(*Game.Objs(obj.id())); //Create the object.
     // Log(S+"Create successful on " + id + "\n");
      
      Name = name; //Add specifics read from server.
      ID   = id;
      Flt y = Game.World.hmHeight(pos.xz(),true)+0.6f;                                                
      T.pos(pos+Vec(0,y,0)); //Add Y so that it doesn't spawn just under the map.
      ctrl.actor.group(AG_AI);//Set actor group to 1 so that we can disable collision (pushing of monsters)
      //Log(S+"Got to end of spawn on " + id + "\n");
  
  
   }
   bool AI::update(){
      if(super::update())
      {
        if( OldLocation!=0 && (T.pos() - OldLocation).length() < 2.0)T.actionBreak();
         return true;
      }
      return false;
   }
   void AI::Move(Vec pos){
      if(OldLocation!=0 && (T.pos() - OldLocation).length() > 3.0/*T.pos() != OldLocation*/)T.pos(OldLocation); // If old location is not already reached, set the position instantly there.
      Flt y = Game::World.hmHeight(pos.xz(),true)+0.6f; //Get height of target location
     T.actionMoveDir(Vec(pos.x, y, pos.z) - T.pos());//Move to locationPlr.pos() - T.pos()
      OldLocation = pos+Vec(0,y,0);//Set previous Location target so that we can check when receiving next time.
     // CM.New(S+"Newoldpos "+OldLocation);
   }
   void AI::drawName(){
      Vec2 NamePos = PosToScreen(pos()+Vec(0,T.ctrl.height(),0)); // Position of monster + it's height.

RE: Server sided AI
Hello, I recently stumbled upon this project and figured I'd give it a shot since I have the Ineisis source purchased. Ozmodian, are those 4 code segments all that is needed to modify a fresh 2.0 Ineisis source to be buildable with this AI? Or should I also be using some of Fex's code snippets on the first page? Thanks! And thanks very much TBJokers for posting this, looks incredible!

My code snippets are the main pieces. I think there were 1 or 2 one line entries you may have to make, but it should be pretty simple.

RE: Server sided AI
For those who intend to reuse the snipet : store object in MemX and not MemC on the client side else you could have some violent crash when casting the object (Game.MemxObj would even be better but ... I don't master that yet - who said noob?).

Apart from that the snipet is a good frame for basic artichecture and quite inspiring. Thx to the contributors wink

That's good, but i've improved upon our official more complex AI to use Maps. that's probably the best idea.

RE: Server sided AI
Well I intend to do the same in fact. Map is based on Memx and not Memc wich explain why it works too. My remark is just here to prevent some random guy to ask himself "why the hell is it not working" for 14hours like I did grin

Certainly I can't lecture anyone or give lessons at this stage of my knowledge on Esenthel. I'm a noob smile

Would you share eventually your map<,> code part, it would help a lot smile ? I'm still having trouble gathering the pieces of map using, especially when I need to build an object with more params than the create fonction has when you call map (or maybe I just misunderstood and the three input on the map build are minmum requirement and not strict requirement). I always figure something wrong and either object is not created either it can't compile because it find no appropriate constructor.

RE: Server sided AI
Hello,

Thank you for posting help and tutorials about AI. I am however having one problem that I can't figure out. It is in Client.AI, and these two lines get error:
Code:
if( OldLocation!=0 && (T.pos() - OldLocation).length() < 2.0)T.actionBreak();
if(OldLocation!=0 && (T.pos() - OldLocation).length() > 3.0/*T.pos() != OldLocation*/)T.pos(OldLocation); // If old location is not already reached, set the position instantly there.

in this block of code:
Code:
bool AI::update(){
      if(super::update())
      {
        if( OldLocation!=0 && (T.pos() - OldLocation).length() < 2.0)T.actionBreak();
         return true;
      }
      return false;
   }
   void AI::Move(Vec pos){
      if(OldLocation!=0 && (T.pos() - OldLocation).length() > 3.0/*T.pos() != OldLocation*/)T.pos(OldLocation); // If old location is not already reached, set the position instantly there.
      Flt y = Game::World.hmHeight(pos.xz(),true)+0.6f; //Get height of target location
     T.actionMoveDir(Vec(pos.x, y, pos.z) - T.pos());//Move to locationPlr.pos() - T.pos()
      OldLocation = pos+Vec(0,y,0);//Set previous Location target so that we can check when receiving next time.
     // CM.New(S+"Newoldpos "+OldLocation);
   }

The error is this:
Code:
AI.cpp
c:\program files\esenthel\projects\_build_\ineisis client\source\ai.cpp(25): error C2666: 'EE::Vec::operator !=': 13 overloads have similar conversions [C:\Program Files\Esenthel\Projects\_Build_\Ineisis Client\Project.vcxproj]

Any help appreciated.. thank you!!

RE: Server sided AI
this is just saying that it doesnt know how to deal with a vec!=0

you can try this instead Vec(0)
if( OldLocation!=Vec(0) && (T.pos() - OldLocation).length() < 2.0)T.actionBreak();
