Try looking up A* and Dijkstra, or even Floyd for pathing.

I tried A*, but didn't get it. I fucking suck at math. I'll check the others out. Thanks.

It really has very little to do with math. It's more of procedural thinking... Very step by step. Look up Graph Theory and whatnot.

Truth be told, I just searched the A* Algorithm, and since I do NOT believe in recreating the wheel, I used a script that someone pre-made (credit was given, and it was meant to be released). If I absolutely had to, I'd attempt to make my own, but I feel that using one that already works, and quickly, was my best bet.

Yeah, on the version I have here, I have multiple selection working almost perfectly (just need to get the pictures working, but multi-select works A+). Next is building stuff, then mining / gathering a resource of sorts, then some other unit commands (patrol, stop, etc), and finally attacking. The final version I release to the public will have the framework done, instructions on how to add units, add abilities, and just a synopsis on how everything is set up (although I doubt many people will even use it, I hope they can learn from it).

Good on ya man. I plan to give all the .fla's of my games to my media teacher when I leave year 12 to show students etc.

Are you using as3? I'm not planning on learning as3, I'm going to start programming openGL or dx

ssjskipp In reply to ssjjackass [2007-05-16 13:09:53 +0000 UTC]

Well, I've got AS2 down. I WANT to learn AS3, but I also want to learn openGL as well. Besides, AS3 would be a good transition from AS2 to OpenGL, methinks.

ssjjackass In reply to ssjskipp [2007-05-16 14:19:38 +0000 UTC]

I can't be bothered learning AS3.

I wouldn't bother wasting time with as3 if your planning on learning OpenGL. Get started on some C++ tutorials and windows programming etc. That is if you plan to use C++?

ssjskipp In reply to ssjjackass [2007-05-16 17:11:55 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I understand C++ pretty well, and it's formatted sorta' like Flash AS3, and AS2. The only thing about C++ is that I do not know how to make a visual thing...like, I guess I'm too used to flash where graphics and programming come hand in hand and can be applied with simple references.

ssjjackass In reply to ssjskipp [2007-05-17 08:07:15 +0000 UTC]

Yeah its completely different with C++, Flash is all built into one package. Whereas with C++, that is the language you choose to use for your project, but you must find other things like graphics engines etc. OpenGL is only graphics whereas directX is a package with graphics, audio, physics etc.

ssjskipp In reply to ssjjackass [2007-05-17 23:58:14 +0000 UTC]

Ah...yeah, I need to learn OpenGL. C++, Python, all those languages would be nifty, though....DirectX would be nice to learn too..

Yeah, there's a few glitches I'll fix with the movement, but right now it's pretty awesome.

As soon as I finish the basics. I'll release the source pre-creation of AI (once I get systems working).

no probleme, something like this deserves a favorite.

btw, i dont know if you like feedback or not but here are something things that arent working :

1. when you select a group of units and move them and you try to make another group selection while the previous units are moving, then there surounding square stays where it was at that moment.

2.pressing on m does not work to make them move.

3.if units are to close to each other, they wont move.

well, dont know if you like this kind of help or not, or if you already knew that these things didnt work to well (cause you did say you were still fixing stuff) but there you go, i hope it helps in any way shape or form

Heh, I knew of 1 (need to find out why >_>, 2 I haven't added yet, and 3 is fixed on the version on my computer (I'll upload it when I add more stuff)

sweet, keep up the good work, i didnt know that it was possible to do something this good on flash ^_^

(well, ok, i knew, but i imagined it being something very mroe complicated and you said it was easy(well, maybe not easy but easier then it might be(i need to stop talking)))
