Question by Tommy · May 17, 2011 at 02:10 PM · aicharacterfollowstop

Character suddenly stops at certain point when following AI (Img)

Im' going to try this question once again.

Hey! Iv'e got a real strange problem here that i can't figure out at all. Help me out here!

So the problem is that iv'e got a couple of characters following a AI script (The one from the FPS tutorial), until they are selected, then you control them using the keyboard, then when deselected it follows the AI instead.

My intention is to make the character keep following the waypoints.

Iv'e made a small painting of my own below, the red it's route and where it stops, maybe it help... Also, i don't get any error massage as it stops.

The img: http://imageshack.us/f/805/thewooth.jpg/

It stops right there, eaven if you remove the waypoints with blue above it, so it hasn't got something to do with them.

The code (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; //static var larsan = target; var objektnamn : GameObject; private var lastShot = -10.0;

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

//function Awake() { // target = transform; //}

function Start () { if (!this.enabled) return;

 // Auto setup player as target through tags
 if (target == null && GameObject.FindWithTag("Player"))
     target = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").transform;

 Patrol();

}

function Patrol () { if (!this.enabled) return;

 var curWayPoint = AutoWayPoint.FindClosest(transform.position);
 while (true) {
     var waypointPosition = curWayPoint.transform.position;
     // Are we close to a waypoint? -> pick the next one!
     if (Vector3.Distance(waypointPosition, transform.position) < pickNextWaypointDistance)
         curWayPoint = PickNextWaypoint (curWayPoint);

     // Attack the player and wait until
     // - player is killed
     // - player is out of sight     
     if (CanSeeTarget ())
         yield StartCoroutine("AttackPlayer");

     // Move towards our target
     MoveTowards(waypointPosition);

     yield;
 }

}

function CanSeeTarget () : boolean { if (!this.enabled) return;

 if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, target.position) > attackRange)
     return false;

 var hit : RaycastHit;
 if (Physics.Linecast (transform.position, target.position, hit))
     return hit.transform == target;

 return false;

}

function Shoot () { if (!this.enabled) return;

 // Start shoot animation
 animation.CrossFade("shoot", 0.3);

 // Wait until half the animation has played
 yield WaitForSeconds(delayShootTime);

 // Fire gun
 BroadcastMessage("Fire");

 // Wait for the rest of the animation to finish
 yield WaitForSeconds(animation["shoot"].length - delayShootTime);

}

function AttackPlayer () { if (!this.enabled) return;

 var lastVisiblePlayerPosition = target.position;
 while (true) {
     if (CanSeeTarget ()) {
         // Target is dead - stop hunting
         if (target == null)
             return;

         // Target is too far away - give up 
         var distance = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, target.position);
         if (distance > shootRange * 3)
             return;

         lastVisiblePlayerPosition = target.position;
         if (distance > dontComeCloserRange)
             MoveTowards (lastVisiblePlayerPosition);
         else
             RotateTowards(lastVisiblePlayerPosition);

         var forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
         var targetDirection = lastVisiblePlayerPosition - transform.position;
         targetDirection.y = 0;

         var angle = Vector3.Angle(targetDirection, forward);

         // Start shooting if close and play is in sight
         if (distance < shootRange && angle < shootAngle)
             yield StartCoroutine("Shoot");
     } else {
         yield StartCoroutine("SearchPlayer", lastVisiblePlayerPosition);
         // Player not visible anymore - stop attacking
         if (!CanSeeTarget ())
             return;
     }

     yield;
 }

}

function SearchPlayer (position : Vector3) { if (!this.enabled) return;

 // Run towards the player but after 3 seconds timeout and go back to Patroling
 var timeout = 3.0;
 while (timeout > 0.0) {
     MoveTowards(position);

     // We found the player
     if (CanSeeTarget ())
         return;

     timeout -= Time.deltaTime;
     yield;
 }

}

function RotateTowards (position : Vector3) { if (!this.enabled) return;

 SendMessage("SetSpeed", 0.0);

 var direction = position - transform.position;
 direction.y = 0;
 if (direction.magnitude < 0.1)
     return;

 // Rotate towards the target
 transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp (transform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(direction), rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
 transform.eulerAngles = Vector3(0, transform.eulerAngles.y, 0);

}

function MoveTowards (position : Vector3) { if (!this.enabled) return;

 var direction = position - transform.position;
 direction.y = 0;
 if (direction.magnitude < 0.5) {
     SendMessage("SetSpeed", 0.0);
     return;
 }

 // Rotate towards the target
 transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp (transform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(direction), rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
 transform.eulerAngles = Vector3(0, transform.eulerAngles.y, 0);

 // Modify speed so we slow down when we are not facing the target
 var forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
 var speedModifier = Vector3.Dot(forward, direction.normalized);
 speedModifier = Mathf.Clamp01(speedModifier);

 // Move the character
 direction = forward * speed * speedModifier;
 GetComponent (CharacterController).SimpleMove(direction);

 SendMessage("SetSpeed", speed * speedModifier, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);

}

function PickNextWaypoint (currentWaypoint : AutoWayPoint) { if (!this.enabled) return;

 // We want to find the waypoint where the character has to turn the least

 // The direction in which we are walking
 var forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);

 // The closer two vectors, the larger the dot product will be.
 var best = currentWaypoint;
 var bestDot = -10.0;
 for (var cur : AutoWayPoint in currentWaypoint.connected) {
     var direction = Vector3.Normalize(cur.transform.position - transform.position);
     var dot = Vector3.Dot(direction, forward);
     if (dot > bestDot && cur != currentWaypoint) {
         bestDot = dot;
         best = cur;
     }
 }

 return best;

When you ask a question like this it is important, to clearly and explicitly state, what you EXPECT to happen, and what ACTUALLY happens. Remember. We have no perspective on what you are trying to do. You can't assume we are carrying the same expectations/assumptions as you.
