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.

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.
