AI Help

[Karzama]

Right... For my Pokemon map I'm trying to make an AI system for players that leave the game. Currently I've made it so that they have their Pokemon (Heroes) changed to the AI player, and the AI currently makes all AI controlled units run around to follow where players go, this bit is fine to my liking. However, this map involves a lot of running backwards and forwards to get healed at the Pokecentres, but I don't know how to make a unit run to the nearest Pokecentre, I was guessing it was something to do with a real comparison of distances? I don't really know.... I'm guessing completely...

To check the nearest pokemon centre yeah, or you could pick a random unit in the unit group owned by player (owner of pokemon centres) and order them to move to/follow that. It depends on how 'clever' you want them to be, the above would work with a below certain health event and be stupidly simple and easy to implement but may make the ai do dumb things and run to furthest centres right through enemies or hazards etc.

A comparison of reals and (loop?) to find the nearest one would make them slightly smarter, reducing the chance of them encountering hostile forces in their commute (and decreasing its time).

Yer i get what you mean. I've managed to make them run back to the closest pokecentre, this only fails in one region but I'm not too fussed about that.
