Hi, i'm looking for a code.

i want the model to, when distance between player and model < 500 :
1)looks the player
2)move in direction of player until it touch the player.

i have no problem for check distance and make the model looks the player :



but i don't know how to make the model move in direction of player after it
if someone can give me the code for it.. thx :l

ps : i think it can be done with "position" but i'm looking for a easier solution with "vec" in a first time.

if you search for "move" in the manual, then you will see a function called "c_move"

Always search in the manual, then ask.

already found it but it's complicated -.
i always get the same answer when i post in this forum so it bores me so i always search everywhere before asking -.
thx anyway, wasn't sure i had to use move_c but i focused on it and did ~something correct, very weird but it ~works



-.

try this perhaps it helps that is a code of my soccer game

here is a code of my football game

function attach_ba()
{

while(Ball==NULL){wait(1);}
while(1)
{

set(Ball,SHADOW);
proc_mode = PROC_LATE;
Ball.material = mat_metal;
Ball.x = player.x + 50 * cos(player.pan);
Ball.y = player.y + 50 * sin(player.pan);
Ball.z = player.z-41;
Ball.pan=player.pan;

Ball.tilt+=5 ;

wait(1);
}
}

huh, hm thanks but it looks more weird than my weird code, I'm not sure that it's appropriate for what i want to do :l
good luck for your football game :l

ok i wrote this code for you


action blabla()
{
while(vec_dist(my.x,player.x)>500)wait(1);
while (1)
{
vec_set(temp.x,player.x);
vec_sub(temp.x,my.x);
vec_to_angle(my.pan,temp.x);
c_move (my, vector(5, 0, 0), nullvector, GLIDE+IGNORE_ME+IGNORE_YOU);
wait(1);
}
}

so thats the whole code for let an NPC walk to player if the lpayer is nearer than 500 quants, rotate it to the player and move it to the player. you made it too complicated, its easier than it seems



@Progger

Your code has nothing to do with this topic. this code just set ups an Entity in front of the player and let it rotate with the player.

cool
looks damn basic (one line for what i needed) but works perfectly.
my code was doing "weird circly moves" + was far to perfect :l
and indeed it looks easier than my code which don't work but when I don't know the good 'formula', I do what I can
+ 1 step clear, thx :}

no problem
