Thanks, Redeemer. I only use vec_dist to detect the player distance and activate the Attack or run mode of the enemy, ignoring walls . I have to fix it using c_trace to activate the enemy only when the player is visible for him. Or mix some options using distance and visibility, etcetera.
I use c_scan() to check if the player can be detected. If the enemy detects the player, I then use c_trace(). If nothing is in the way, then the enemy starts attacking the player. Like this:
function enemy_event
{
if( event_type == event_detect ) // I detected an entity with c_scan
{
if( your == player ) // the entity I detected is "player"
{
wait(1);
c_trace( my.x, player.x, ignore_passable+ignore_me ); // trace a line to "player"
if( your == player ) // the object hit by c_trace is the player (not a wall, other entity, etc.)
{
beep; // signify that I have seen the player
my.flag1 = on; // so I don't "beep" again
}
}
}
}
action enemy
{
my.enable_detect = on; // so I can see the player
my.event = enemy_event;
while(my) // while I exist
{
if( my.flag1 == off ) // I haven't seen the player yet
{
c_scan( my.x, my.pan, vector( 160, 0, 2000 ), ignore_me+scan_ents ); // scan for the player
}
wait(1);
}
}
This example uses C-Script, so you would have to convert it to lite-C to use it; but I think you understand
About the second questions , for now , it is shooting only one pellet.
The answer is that i dont know, for now, how to shoot more than one pellet at a time
Use a "for" loop to fire more than one pellet at a time. Your weapons also shouldn't always be perfectly accurate; use random() to mess up the aiming trajectory a little bit.
Keep up the good work, this is getting pretty good
