Ai Can it be smarter?
hey guys i have a question i dont know if you know the replicators of stargate but i have made a replicator model (spider). but this script is good but not great. my replicator does follow me and destroy me but that are other scripts what i want is can you make this ai smarter becouse it doesnt jump if it cant reatch you it hase only one speed no run speed so that if it see you it can run towards you if it wants to. and it cant walk on walls yet.like a real spider But if you know stargate you know the replicators so you know what i mean here is the script AI
var speed = 3.0; var rotationSpeed = 5.0; var shootRange = 15.0; var attackRange = 30.0; var shootAngle = 4.0; var dontComeCloserRange = 5.0; var delayShootTime = 0.35; var pickNextWaypointDistance = 2.0; var target : Transform;

// Make sure there is always a character controller @script RequireComponent (CharacterController)

Patrol();
}

// Attack the player and wait until
// - player is killed
// - player is out of sight

yield;

What's the question here? Can your AI be smart? It's pretty much as smart as your script controlling it.
There are some nice tools in the Asset Store to do a lot of the hard work for you when it comes to AI. Do a search for "Behave." Behave is a free extension which lets you easily set up behaviour based logic for your characters/objects.
See this link for more details: http://angryant.com/behave/
