WHAT THIS AI CAN DO
*Can simulate any size of battle, with as many people and teams as you would like
*Gives every person a 'sight'

WHAT THIS AI CAN'T DO
*Stop it from glitching on walls!

Combine it with the advanced pathfinding object and you'd have some very solid AI. but don't do that, I want to do it first

This open source AI shows 4 different AI examples...
1) Really rubbish AI that first bullets occasionally
2) AI that can see, but doesn't know which guard should be able to shoot
3) AI that knows which guard should be able to shoot (Solid AI for games)
4) A bit like 3, but with more features and more realistic movement.

How this works is up to you, some games will work better with different numbers of sight objects. But this is how I do AI in games. I prefer it to simple 'see if there's nothing between the enemy and your player' because it's easy to set which directions the sight heads in, and some times you want AI with a chance of going wrong. For stealth games, for example.

...Enjoy!

I think someone was asking for something like this a while back. Imma check this out later. Sounds good from the description, but IS IT?

the graphics was good but there were red and green gliches and there isnt much to do on it add some sounds and music and more levels and it could be quiet good.

eh? Luke this is just a game engine. It wasn't meant to be a real game. Although if it was you'd be right!

Genuinely lol'd at James' comment...

Looked very nice at the first sight. Took a quick glance at the event editor and was delighted how few events there were. Looking forward to see this in action with the pathifinding object to see the full potential.

why don't you assign the guards ID via spread value? would take out the random chance that two guards will have the same ID with your current method.

Hmm, I just find the random method easier to understand. I'm lazy

I just tried this, and it could use a lot of improvements.

Personally I would not use this. I really unoptimized, and using a hundred objects to simulate sight is a pretty bad idea.

It desperately needs 360 shooting. The shooting is inaccurate over large distances.

Anyways, If you choose to continue using the current method of AI vision I'd suggest you just use one "sight" object per enemy and just make the object shoot directly AT the player and limit the amount of angle the sight object can have. Then chose a random number to decide whether or not they can "see" you.

I don't get it... why is everybody treating this as a game? It's an AI example, not a 360 degree shooting game. If it's rough around the edges then that's because I kept it as simple as possible for people to be able to understand.

Well if you are referring to my comment then you should know that I'm treating it like an engine.

That's what it is right?

It works, it just needs improvements. What else do you want me to say. Do you want me to lie to you? (now I'm starting to sound like nastyman,

)

yeh this is what i mean. if you make a game engine then theres no exuse for bad gameplay i mean thats what all games are about. why are there no sounds and why is there only one level? reword people for finishing your game. you have alot to lern before moving onto more complex coding 3klik.

You're obviously trying to troll. It's almost as if you're deliberately trying to find a reason to rate this down by pretending that it's something it isn't. Try doing that to my new open source example.

Maybe people just don't read the titles of downloads anymore?

@ UrbanMonk, The title is : "Open source AI example" not "360 shooting example".

@ James Luke, you're just a complete idiot I doubt explaining it to you would help, but here goes : IT IS NOT A GAME, AND NOT INTENDED TO BE A GAME NOR A DEMO. IT IS AN EXAMPLE FOR EXPERIENCED KLICKERS TO LEARN HOW TO HAVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THEIR PRODUCT, NOT SOUND, OR LEVEL DESIGN.
