| Summary | 0012820: BombBot doesn't follow player when its path is blocked | ||||
| Description | In the attached screenshot / save file, the BombBot cannot path to the player, and as a result it actually retreats when the player waits! My proposed fix: In the first pass, bots find paths as they currently do. In the second pass, bots that couldn't find a path to the player in the first pass try again, but each bot pretends that units not adjacent to it don't exist. | ||||

Hmm, that's a tricky one as in theory if the player is well and truly blocked off from one side the BombBot _should_ reroute around the map to come in from the other side. But what it really needs to do is be happy with the shortest path from which it can _attack_ the player (or explode in their general direction, anyhow), rather than the shortest path to the player. Will take a look when I get a chance :) |

Ouch, yea, I'm gonna have to wait until after 1.0 to try to address this. I know how I would do it but it's gonna muddy up some deep waters on the AI side. Just having it recheck while ignoring neighbors only works if it doesn't find ANY path to the target, btw. What's happening in that save is that the BombBot does have a way to you. It's just halfway around the world. For now, just think of the BombBot as a terminally stupid moron... you would be right! |
