AI change Cog
2000-10-03, 12:45 PM #1
Once again I am requesting a cog. As i've said over and over, I'm terrible with cog. Anyhow, here's what I need...

I need a cog that will change a friendly's .ai file to Gan_soldiermove.ai upon seeing an enemy. Once the enemy dies, it should return back to pedroam.ai. it should be able to switch back to GAN_soldiermove if it sees a new enemy.

*NOTE* This is for MotS. I need this so that I can use the "sidekick" cog to have the friendly follow the player around.

Code: 
symbols
thing helper
thing potential local
cog follow_cog

ai attack=GAN_soldiermove.ai local
ai walk=pedroam.ai local

message startup
message pulse
end

code
startup:
     SetPulse(0.5);
     return;
pulse:
     potential = firstThinginView( helper, 280, 5, 0x4);
     if(potential == -1)
     {
          AISetClass(helper, walk);
          SendMessage(follow_cog, user1);
     }
     else if(potential != helper)
     {
          AISetClass(helper, attack);
          SendMessage(follow_cog, user0);
     }
     return;
end


and you can have user0 and user1 messages in the cog that makes the helper follow you to turn it off and back on again if you want.
