Unit's AI Position Problem

bear_369 · Feb 23, 2016

How this works?
- When every timer ends, it causes them to teleport into the next region. If being watched or watching the region that where it's going to teleport, it will cause them not to teleport until both of them is returned false. If they reached the second-to-the-last region but accidently being spotted, it will returned back to its starting point if not being viewed by the player.

What causes the problem
- Most of the If/Else statements were fine except for the last one that being indicated as "Failed to Jumpscare".
It'd run but they haven't teleported back into their starting point. Game text had shown itself but they still haven't teleported back.
After this happen, the trigger stills run as the other If/Else statements at the "Movement System" works, but it still doesn't change its position.

P.S
- These units have a Locust Ability so they'll be used at the Unit Group than identifying them if there are in what region.

Where's the triggers?

Can anyone help me on this one?
I would be appreciate it if someone does.

GIMLI_2 · Feb 24, 2016

The triggers are really confusing, at least for me. I also did not fully understand what you want to do.
I wouldnt recommend you to use waits, replace it with a real variable that counts up every loop and check if it reached the max time.

Give some more information

Sorry about that. I'll explain it.
Don't worry about the wait command, I created a similar trigger which operates the other unit.

-------- Temp Variable --------
Set GolemAI_VarID = 1
Set GolemAI_TempUnitType[GolemAI_VarID] = Red Golem
Set GolemAI_TempID[GolemAI_VarID] = 1
Set GolemAI_TempRivalID[GolemAI_VarID] = 2
Set GolemAI_TempAngle[0] = 270.00
Set GolemAI_TempAngle[1] = 270.00
Set GolemAI_TempAngle[2] = 180.00
Set GolemAI_TempAngle[3] = 90.00
Set GolemAI_TempAngle[4] = 90.00
Set GolemAI_MaxPathing[GolemAI_VarID] = 4
Set GolemAI_VarID = 0
-------- Temp Variable --------

GolemAI_VarID - This only picks up the other variables' array.
GolemAI_TempUnitType - Picks up the selected unit to do some teleporting.
GolemAI_TempID - This gets the ID of the picked unit for this trigger.
GolemAI_TempRivalID - This gets the ID of its rival unit.
GolemAI_TempAngle - This allows to set the unit's facing angle when everytime it teleported.
GolemAI_MaxPathing - How far the unit can teleport. This proves useful through the For-Loop statement.

GolemAIPos - This changes when everytime the unit moves. Also, this can allow the unit's position to be changed when this changes as well.
GolemAIPos[GolemAI_TempRivalID[1]] Not equal to X - When its rival is in the way, it will return false.
IsRearLightOn - Detects whenever the player's rear light is activated.
IsCamMoving - Detects when the player move its camera.
Player12Golem (Unit Group) - Picks up all the unit then find a unit which equivalent to the GolemAI_TempUnitType.
GolemAI_IsGolemFlashed - When the rear light is activated and the unit is being visible by that light, it will considered true.

I hope this is enough.

So everything works except for the overall unit movement?

It works fine before the "Failed to Jumpscare" If/Else statement.
When that run, it messed up the unit movement, permamently staying them to the 3rd position.
EDITED: Yes, The unit movement is the only problem.

GIMLI_2 · Feb 24, 2016

you set GolemIsFlashed to False but never set it back to true, could that be the problem?

Nope, I forgot to mention that the GolemIsFlashed can set itself to true at the other trigger which can't be seen on this thread.

4 days passed and my problem is not solved yet. :cry:

JaysProjex · Feb 28, 2016

Regarding the map (I don't know what's changed since then) Something about this point doesn't add up & I don't think it even exists.

Set TempPoint = (Center of RedGolemWayPoint[GolemAIPos[GolemAI_TempID]])

The default location is RedGolemWayPoint[0] ?

You have a array inside the point though ?

bear_369 · Feb 28, 2016

Solved!
I'm aware that using this condition wouldn't make it work on locust unit but it did work.

(RedGolemWayPoint[X] contains GolemAI_Unit[GolemAI_TempID]) Equal to True

Thanks for all your help guys. :thumbs_up:
