Hey! I have been working on the AI for my next game, and I wanted to show off a little the waypoint editor in my map editor. The way it works is a couple of waypoints linked together with information on how to reach the next waypoint (jump or walk). I think it will work well. So here is a small picture:

Gotta love making AI

Is it roughly like, "if the player is in this area, go to this waypoint" etcetc?
Yep, computer players will be able to find their way to reach any of these little nodes
Looks great.
AI is so boring for no reason
That looks like something I did for the AI in Battle Sector - nodes to allow for pathfinding on a non-rigid grid environment.
I guess I am in the right way then :D
I've wanted to try pathfinding before because it seems quite useful.
But when I see screenshots like this, I realize, "That's probably too much for my head to handle."
Its actually not that complicated
AI is the most fun part of making games imo
I like how you really clearly show what's solid ground n what's background art with the colours n shit.
It weird that you have a "map editor" cos I just draw all my levels :/
I'm makin a game right now that turns my hand-drawn levels into grids and drives the enemies around with like A* pathfinding. Shit's hard yo.
The reason I have a map editor is because I want users to be able to create their own levels

it looks complex.. but that's what probably makes the game fun. :)

Don't worry, these links wont be visible to the player. Its only used for the Artificial Intelligence
