I've been away from the forums since early December. I'm back again because I have another urge to code, and I've decided to quit letting people down when I say I'm working on a project.

Well... Now I'm back. I've been working almost 4 days on a demo of Black vs. Red. Originally called Project Stick Fighter. I swear this time. O_o I have mostly everything done for the demo. I'm currently getting the characters to pick up weapons as they walk over them. Then after that... I make the weapons shoot, do damage, etc. Then I'm for the most part, done.

One problem.

I'm no good with AI.

I need someone I can trust. Who won't steal my code and claim it as their own...

If someone assists me soon. I could see the demo being released around sometime Wednesday.

what do u need the ai to do?

_twopoint · 02-11-2007, 06:20 PM

Ai does the AI stuff....duh

It walks and moves and fights back etc.

**Cheez Pirate** · 02-11-2007, 06:26 PM

Ok. Well there is 4 people on both teams. It's a CTF match. I want all 4 players on both teams to be offensive, and defensive. Possibly even knowing when to run and hide.

_twopoint · 02-11-2007, 06:28 PM

The AI wont be THAT great if its a shooter then versus mode.

**Cheez Pirate** · 02-11-2007, 06:37 PM

Huh? And yea it's a shooter with versus mode.

EDIT: And it's a demo. As long as they capture the flag and kill each other then I'll be happy.

_twopoint · 02-11-2007, 06:41 PM

Well the AI wont be that great. Meaning like if I walk behind them they wont shoot till they see me. So it might be Ok. But if you get someone great the AI will be great.

**Cheez Pirate** · 02-11-2007, 07:02 PM

Yea. If you can do any kind of AI it would be fine.

**SG57** · 02-11-2007, 07:24 PM

Why does everyone assume people will steal their code? Hey - if you don't put a license or patent on it, there's really no proof as virtually, anything can be counterfeit without you even knowing it...

Why not take the challenge and do the AI yourself?

You should considerate how to code the AI more than somebody steals your code.

Is AI really hard to code?

It's not easy, but it's not that hard. Depends on what you want.

How? Ok, I'm gonna tell you the biggest secret of programming...

***OUTLINE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH A PEN***

Don't put it in your mind, write it down.

eg.
1. the NPC know where the flag is
2. priority of "capture the flag" or "swipe the enemies" depends on some mathematical calculation, judge by points.
3. NPC have 3 action type, "patrol", "sneak" and "attack"
4. NPC won't detects enemies at the back
...
blah blah blah

next steps is details what you wrote, e.g. what is the sneak mode do?

Then you can start finding information on how to code.

That's the way I do programming, hope it helps.

Wow. Just thinking about those 4 example steps helped. O_o Thanks a lot!
