 Quick question about choosing homing targets Hey, I've been working on my KamiCrabs Mod, And I am trying to add homing crabs to it, the homing part works fine, but currently, it likes to lock on to the brain and aim towards that every time, is there a way to set it to ignore Brains?]
Thanks
P.S. Sorry for any confusion that has been caused by my account being deleted, the forums thought it was a spam bot, and thus deleted all my posts.

Re: Quick question about choosing homing targets In the line where you search the potential target, put "and not actor:HasObjectInGroup("Brains")".
I've never used it, but it's used in the AI and saw it on the wiki, so I doubt that it won't work.

Re: Quick question about choosing homing targets I Tried that, but no dice. The crab still goes hurtling towards the brain. Code: function Update(self)
if self:IsPlayerControlled() == true then
if UInputMan:KeyPressed(19) == true then
self:GibThis()
end
end
if self:IsPlayerControlled() == true then
if MovableMan:IsActor(self.target) and not self.target:HasObjectInGroup("Brains") then
if UInputMan:KeyPressed(6) == true then
self.RotAngle = SceneMan:ShortestDistance(self.Pos,self.target.Pos,true).AbsRadAngle
self.Vel = Vector(100, 0):RadRotate(self.RotAngle)
end
else
self.shortestdistance = 1
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
if actor.Team ~= self.ignoreteam then
self.curdist = SceneMan:ShortestDistance(self.Pos,actor.Pos,true).Magnitude
if self.curdist < 500000 and (self.shortestdistance == -1 or self.shortestdistance ~= -1 and self.curdist < self.shortestdistance) then
self.target = actor
self.shortestdistance = self.curdist
end
end
end
end
end
end
function Destroy(self)
if self:IsPlayerControlled() == true then
if UInputMan:KeyPressed(19) == False then
self:GibThis()
end
end
end
function Create(self)
self.ignoreteam = self.team
end
I apologize for my atrocious tabbing.

Re: Quick question about choosing homing targets Code: if actor.Team ~= self.ignoreteam and not actor:HasObjectInGroup("Brains") then
There is where it should go, in the part where you are checking which actors are possible candidates, in that way, the actor must be of another team and can't be a brain. Try to fix your tabbing hehehe

Re: Quick question about choosing homing targets Alright, It ignores the brains now, but I just realized it doesn't actually home in on anything. It goes flying to the right, ignoring all actors. I probably should have noticed that before now...
I'm guessing the problem is with my rotation script?
edit: Yeah.. I'll work on my tabbing real real real soon...

Re: Quick question about choosing homing targets Well, that script looks a bit wierd.
What is it attached to? An emitter? It doesn't seem like it.

Re: Quick question about choosing homing targets Well, what its supposed to do is look for the closest enemy, rotate the crab towards it, and set the velocity of the crab. The crab is still an actor, so there is no emitter

Re: Quick question about choosing homing targets Is it printing any errors, or it just won't work?

Re: Quick question about choosing homing targets No errors, it just sends the crab flying to the right, regardless of where the enemy are.

Re: Quick question about choosing homing targets Well, try reducing that 500000 distance into something smaller, like 250 for testing purposes. Try to make additional checks (printing the presetname of the target, for example, and making sure that it's ID is ~= 255).
Also, don't set the angle you get to RotAngle, since the RotAngle varies easily in any moment. Store it in another variable created by you.

Re: Quick question about choosing homing targets Okay, the RotAngle is supposed to set the Rotangle, thus turning the crab in the direction of the target.
Is that not what its doing?

Re: Quick question about choosing homing targets Well, yeah. Do you see the body rotating?
Because if it's just moving to the right, there could be two problems; the RotAngle isn't changing at all, or it changes and returns to normal too fast, rotating the velocity to your right, or, you are not setting the angle properly.
I'm more inclined for the first one though, so instead of using self.RotAngle create any other variable and use it, then check if it works.

Re: Quick question about choosing homing targets The body doesn't rotate at all, so I'm going to assume that it is not being set properly.

Re: Quick question about choosing homing targets Print the RotAngle before and after you make it change.

Re: Quick question about choosing homing targets It says the Rotation is 0 when I press the F key, whichis the key that sends it flying, so it must not be tracking any enemies.
EDIT: I moved the rotation part to rotate as long as it exists, not just when the F key is pressed, and the crab stays standing straight the entire time, as if it were running a keep upright script. So the problem must be in the getting of the targets.
EDIT2: I also set it to print the name of its target, it is targeting itself.
