"Move To" Random Target

jasonpbruce

Hi All! Is there a way to move an actor to a random target?

I have a actor that spawns randomly on the Y axis from the top and I want it to "Move To" a random one of six targets at the bottom of the screen. I made the random spawner to start the actor, but don't know how to make it randomly target one of the six objects at the bottom of the screen.

Oh and all the targets at the bottom share the tag "Target" if that helps.... or I also made a new attribute called "RandomTarget".... didn't know which route to go

youll have to do something like this: have a attribute called random number set it to 0

then for each target have 2 real attribute and have 2 change attibute behaviors changing the attrubutes to its self position x and y position and have that for each target, for each targets 2 attributes

so target1x target1y with chage attributes changeing targetx to selfposition x in the first target, same for the y,then the same for target2x,target2y, ect till you get to the 6th one

then in the actor u want to move have a rule when attribute random number=1 interpolate self position x to target1x and self position y to target1y

then another rule when attribute random number=2 interpolate self position x to target2x and self position y to target2y and so on havin a rule for each number till u get to 6

then whenevr you want the random move to happen, just have a chnage attribute behavior changing attribute random number to random(1,6)

cheers

Cool, thanks! Is there a way to do it where all the targets uses the same "tag" and have the actor randomly target the "tag"?

Thanks!

i dun think using tag for random is possible yet. though that will really simplify AI creation.
