| SOL a.i/steering demo www.specis.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/SOLaiTest.zip first off - thanks to specis for hosting this demo :] Ok..well for those havent heard of my project, SOL is a singler player space exploration/trading/combat game. Anyway..after a long break ive decided to pick up the ball again. im currently working on the a.i module, and thats what this demo is all about..grouping/formations/steering... ive yet to add the complex routines that allow groups to dogfight or perform any similar high level a.i, but this will come soon.. for those that are interested - the logic is quite simple.. - spherical collisions / distance checks are made, + if - the close enough, the vector from the object to your ship - is averaged with your ship vector + this becomes the new - target vector....the more collisions, the more adjusments.. - to keep all this collision madness from killing the fps, - a dynamic spacial partioning system is used to keep track - of small ships..i suppose its similar to hash coding.. - x,y,&z are used to from a area number, and this number - is assigned to ship & a reference to the ship is added - to the table...its slightly more complex than this, but - thats the basic idea... - larger objects have to treated in different way, but because - these objects will be few in number in any given scene, this - isnt really a big problem..collisions against these objects - is done by testing the radius of a group of objects vs the - radius of the large object...if a group is within this zone, - we then perform some sphere/mesh tests + apply vector ajustments - to the target vector as before...this is slightly more complex, - involving finding face normals etc..but most of this is done via - coldet... hmmm..typed quite a lot.. - anyhoO, i hope to release a new SOL demo sometime in the next few - weeks...until then, you can check out the old demo if you want - www.mindcage.4saken.co.uk - cheers! ;) matt/defoc8 |

| Sounds impressive, but at the same time bloody complicated and far too much for my weeny brain to handle. Still, the demo made sense :) Finish the game, babe. |
