A question about the movement of AI.

[DD Tokki]

hello. As more and more people test recently, the pros and cons of my game are becoming clearer. It is a very grateful situation.

One of the problems is that it shows a very linear movement even with the naked eye.
Can the AI change its behavior or attack pattern depending on its HP state?
Or is there a script that normally moves more elaborately?

Or something else, if the AI only approaches the wall, it will try to keep jumping. Could it be possible to apply a different behavior?

I want to give a luxurious change to a monotonous movement.

Of course it requires loop 1 for the script to work cause entity needs to check its health as often as possible before deciding to change AI.

So the script in question would be like this?

anim    idle

loop 1

@script

  if(frame > 0){

    void self = getlocalvar("self");

    int MHP = getentityproperty(self,"maxhealth");

    int HP = getentityproperty(self,"health");



    if(HP < MHP*0.5){

      changeentityproperty(self, "aimove", openborconstant("AIMOVE1_AVOID"));

    }

  }

@end_script

frame    data/chars/cody/idle.gif

Hi @Bloodbane, a doubt has arisen in my mind: the script below

Spoiler: script

anim    idle

loop 1

@script

  if(frame > 0){

    void self = getlocalvar("self");

    int MHP = getentityproperty(self,"maxhealth");

    int HP = getentityproperty(self,"health");



    if(HP < MHP*0.5){

      changeentityproperty(self, "aimove", openborconstant("AIMOVE1_AVOID"));

    }

  }

@end_script

frame    data/chars/cody/idle.gif
frame    data/chars/cody/idle.gif

should also be put in the weapons' anim idle?

The script works locally so yes, you'd have to declare it in weapon model's IDLE and WALK also. Or declare same thinkscript if you're using that.

Hi @Bloodbane, I made the two scripts more complete. I think they are OK.

Spoiler: script in anim idle and walk of npc

@script
  if(frame > 0){
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int MHP = getentityproperty(self,"maxhealth");
    int HP = getentityproperty(self,"health");

    if(HP == MHP*0.5){
      changeentityproperty(self, "aimove", openborconstant("AIMOVE1_NORMAL"));
      changeentityproperty(self, "attackthrottle", 0.2);
      changeentityproperty(self, "attackthrottletime", 80);
      changeentityproperty(self, "blockodds", 500);
    }
    
    if(HP < MHP*0.5){
      changeentityproperty(self, "aimove", openborconstant("AIMOVE1_AVOID"));
      changeentityproperty(self, "attackthrottle", 0.4);
      changeentityproperty(self, "attackthrottletime", 100);
      changeentityproperty(self, "blockodds", 1);
    }
  }
@end_script

Spoiler: script in data/scripts

void main(){
  void self = getlocalvar("self");
  int MHP = getentityproperty(self,"maxhealth");
  int HP = getentityproperty(self,"health");

    if(HP == MHP*0.5){
    changeentityproperty(self, "aimove", openborconstant("AIMOVE1_NORMAL"));
    changeentityproperty(self, "attackthrottle", 0.2);
    changeentityproperty(self, "attackthrottletime", 80);
    changeentityproperty(self, "blockodds", 500);
  }


    if(HP < MHP*0.5){
    changeentityproperty(self, "aimove", openborconstant("AIMOVE1_AVOID"));
    changeentityproperty(self, "attackthrottle", 0.4);
    changeentityproperty(self, "attackthrottletime", 100);
    changeentityproperty(self, "blockodds", 1);

  }
}
