Random Movement

Archive: 4 posts


Hey everyone!

Looking for a bit of help with logic, I'm trying to create 'random' movement of a top down enemy when he's on fire i.e. when he's on fire he wanders around aimlessly, no longer following the player.

I have no problem stopping him following the player, or detecting when he's on fire, but creating the movement is proving difficult. All the solutions i've tried cause him to wander off north east or south west! Currently using multiple randomisers, timers set to speed scale, directions splitters and combiners in all sorts of combinations but still can't get it to work.

If anyone could offer any help or suggestions it would be much appreciated!!! Thanks!!

Tried this yet? Moves randomly in 4 directions
The fire thingy is the stuff that activates this behaviour ;p
The blocks on the left are batteries at 100% and -100%.

I can even draw you an 8-directional random mover, it's a little more difficult though ;p

Sounds like it has potential, I'll definitely check it out! I literally just managed to achieve a basic 4 direction one, but tweaked it to use local space and random rotators, seems to work to provide the illusion for 8 or more direction movement at least to a basic level. I reckon similar could be done with your idea. Thanks for the help!!!! Much appreciated.2012-06-26 21:39:00

I just created a variable speed random 8-directional mover microchip with Mopkins, so this problem has been solved. If anyone else wants it, just leave me a message somewhere 2012-06-26 22:25:00
