As I thinkm C-Lite is kinda new, and i have worked alot in C-Script before
and i beginned with C-Lite today, And im asking for a solution to this major problem. 2 teams. when one soldier of a team reqonize an enemy it chould start shooting on that enemy. but how to solve that problem when you need to add a Pointer for each soldier?


//If i posted this tread on wrong place. pardon me.

//Need all help i can get.

there are a number of ways you could go about doing it.

each soldier could have a local pointer called "victim" or something, which would point to their target ("target" is already taken by the engine). also, have each entity set their .skill[0] (or a different skill if you're already using .skill[0]) to what number team they are on (1 or 2). when one soldier sees someone, it could set its "you" pointer to them. then say Code:

---

if(you.skill[0]!=my.skill[0]) // to check if they are on a different team
  victim = you; // braces aren't needed in IF statements if you only have one command

---

make each soldier shoot at whoever their "victim" is. you could easily put in some conditions to make sure "victim" is always the closest enemy or the one posing the greatest threat. that should get u started! i have to go study now.

hope this helps!

Thanks alot man, one more question.
is it possible to create local pointers in the actions thats attached to the soldiers in each team? could you give me a code snippet of how it would lookslike.

Thanks alot

no problem
in the soldier's action, before any while loops, put "ENTITY* victim;" without the quote marks. that declares a local entity pointer in the action.

then u can use the little bit of code i mentioned before to make it point to someone ("victim = you;" if the predefined "you" pointer is pointing at someone) and then you can check victim.x and victim.pan and stuff like that to see where the victim is and where it is looking.

the victim's local variables cannot be accessed of course, and you probably already knew that. you can look at the victim's skills, for example, if each soldier sets their .skill[2] to their health, you could also check victim.skill[2] to see how healthy they are and determine whether its worth attacking more or retreating (for example ).

Thanks alot Julz, you have been very helpful. you anserwed my biggest question.
Now i can begin to create som valuable games with my team.

What i thought before was that you was not able to create Local Variables.
but now i understund thats possible. Thanks alot Mate
