    A few questions:

    1. So I have a sprite with the 8-direction behaviout on it. Thing is, the "perspective" I'm going for is not top down, so I need the sprite to travel slower vertically than horizontally. Any ideas how to acheive this?

    2. So my NPC (friendly) AI system basically works like this: NPC's roll a random number to decide if they're going to do something. If they do decide to do something, they look for a "node", and if they can see one, they move to it. For this, I'm using a combination of the RTS behaviour and the LOS behaviour. Problem is, I can't figure out how to get NPC's to move to a different node - right now they only move to the first one I made. I don't want to make it a random choice, however. I need something that takes into account the distance between the NPC and the node, and also a priority level for the node (i.e. my fisherman NPC will be vastly more likely to want to fish). [you know when I said it was slightly solved? I broke it again... It works the first time]

    More questions as I come to them I guess...

  • Oh sorry misfit, I had the reply thing open and everything but I totally forgot. Yeah the problems I'm having aren't really predictable... I can open it, but it doesn't remember the strings, and I can't get back to the first string, i.e. the counter doesn't go back to 1. I can't tell if it still displays the first string, however, because it doesn't display.

  • A "get variable with value closest to:" would be cool.

  • I use the Layout object mainly for compartalisation. Say I'm doing an RTS. The Worldmap may be the layout object while the UI may be in the layout itself. When you want a little compartmentalized object with its own coding and actions, use the layout object.

    I believe someone used the layout object really well when they were making a "Two camera" game a few months ago.

  • Hmm I can't get it working on 99.42 or 99.5.

  • Yes, I would be using DirectX. That would be really great Misfit, I'd appreciate it.

  • Thanks Mipey, some really good ideas there.

    Hmm yes the text manipulator object. I do believe this is the key thing here, but as there's basically no documentation on it I'm basically feeling around in the dark, which probably won't lead to anything. Does anyone know how to do the keyword scanning with the text manipulator?

  • Embarassing . Installed it this afternoon. Thanks anyway.
