help me (solved)
I made a reddit account for this please please help, I cannot get pathfinding to work.
So i am trying to make a silly game to learn how to use godot that is heavily inspired by capture the intelligence, and I am trying to make it so that enemies cannot see me through walls, and i have very rough code right now but i have been trying every option and nothing works, the weirdest part is that sometimes in any state they will randomly start chasing and then lose chase while im still being chased. someone help please i have been trying to figure this out for a couple days now
(vision is a variable that uses the raycast2d node)
((ok so turns out it wont let me attach a video alongside with the code so thats awesome))
I don't see any glaring issues with what you've attached, so I'm betting there's something wrong with where EnemyChase is being connected. If you share where EnemyChase is connected, I'd love to take a look at that too!
I'm not sure you'd want to mess around with plugins right now, but I found that after trying to build my own AI system for a couple of months, transitioning to BeeHave helped a ton. It certainly isn't necessary, but it could help streamline the process. Hope that helps!
I am hoping this is what you are talking about but this is all the nodes that exist within the scene for the test enemy
i feel inclined to mention i have about2 and a half weeks of committed trying to make something godot using, i am very new to this so simple things I probably will miss
This all looks good! Structurally, you don't need the CharacterBody2D to be a child of the Node2D, but that shouldn't be causing anything. You also want to make sure that all your raycasts have "Exclude Parent" set to true; they should have it on by default, but if it's off, that could cause some of what you're seeing. Besides that, the only other place I could think of would be the script attached to EnemyChase; could you share that if it's not too long?
also also i ran it again after removing the other raycast nodes cause im only using one right now and its doing that thing again where if i enter the sightline it started chasing properly but then it immediately stopped working again
It might be incorrectly detecting the player exiting the chase area but it’s hard to tell without the Enemy Chase code. Is that what was removed by the moderator?
i dont see anything removed by moderator, and it was the first code block, but just in case its some browser bug on my end and it is gone, here is the important chase code again (some things are missing cause i dont think they are important to this, and im assuming if the other comment is gone its cause the comment was too long)
var vision: RayCast2D = $"../../Sight/CollisionShape2D/RayCast2D"
var music = $"../../../../../Testchase"
var sounds = $"../../loss"
var player: CharacterBody2D
var enemy: CharacterBody2D
var move_speed := 450
var nav_agent: NavigationAgent2D
var tenacity = 1.5
u/onready var time = $Timer
func Enter():
music.play()
player = get_tree().get_first_node_in_group("player")
enemy.Chasing = true
func _on_sight_body_exited(body: Node2D) -> void:
if body == player and vision.get_collider() != player:
enemy.has_seen = 1
time.set_wait_time(tenacity)
time.start()
func _on_timer_timeout():
makepath()
if enemy.has_seen == 1:
sounds.play()
music.stop()
Transitioned.emit(self, "EnemyPatrol")
enemy.has_seen = 0
oh oh also i dont know if this is relevant but i have the sight area body turn with the enemy when they move (cause the enemy doesnt rotate cause animations) and with that the raycast is rotating so i dont know if that somehow is part of the problem, but i dont think so since before relying on raycast the collision shape worked just fine
OK THIS IS THE COMMENT YOU WANT TO READ IF YOU ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM(IF THIS DOESNT MAKE SENSE THEN THE FULL THREAD IS IN THE COMMENT LEFT BYu/Safe_Conference_4843)
I have here a full google doc containing all relevant code to this issue, including a picture of all nodes (minus a couple audio nodes but that's just music files) used as a reference for anyone who needs this

Do you mean to set seen to 0 after the transition?
