Stormtrooper squad...
2002-02-28, 8:12 AM #1
Okay, i made a stormtrooper squad cog for jk. It's supposed to make four stormtroopers attack your target, just not you. Now there's a lil problem: Sometimes when the stormies have killed the enemy and see no one else, they attack you. This is pretty weird... Oh, and if anyone can be bothered, (i couldn't) make it so that the stormies attack their own target, just not each others or the player.

ahhh you cog like me you crazy person.... ok first please use arrays makes things much simpler
second you must change the alin to 0 in the ai
third use arrays and that is about it, if you need i can correct your cog and fix array things and make your code much smaller and simpler

But Han, havent you heard? Using arrays in cog is a violation of the Jon`C clean-code directive, circa 2002.
