Thread: [ANGUISH-ASCEND] NPC pathfinding bug

NPCHandler.java

find this:

Code:

		if (player.absX == npcs[i].absX && player.absY == npcs[i].absY) {
			stepAway(i);
			npcs[i].randomWalk = false;
			npcs[i].facePlayer(player.getIndex());
		}

underneath it add:

Code:

	if ((player.absX == npcs[i].absX-1 && player.absY == npcs[i].absY+1) || (player.absX == npcs[i].absX-1 && player.absY == npcs[i].absY-1)
		|| (player.absX == npcs[i].absX+1 && player.absY == npcs[i].absY-1) || (player.absX == npcs[i].absX+1 && player.absY == npcs[i].absY+1)){
			stepAway2(player,i);
			npcs[i].randomWalk = false;
			npcs[i].facePlayer(player.getIndex());
		}

then add this somewhere:

Code:

	public void stepAway2(Player player, int i) {
		int[][] points = { { -1, 0 }, { 1, 0 }, { 0, -1 }, { 0, 1 } };

		for (int[] k : points) {
			int dir = NPCClipping.getDirection(k[0], k[1]);
			if (NPCDumbPathFinder.canMoveTo(npcs[i], dir)) {
				NPCDumbPathFinder.walkTowards(npcs[i], npcs[i].absX > player.absX ? player.absX-1 : player.absX+1 ,npcs[i].absY > player.absY ? player.absY+1 : player.absY-1);
				break;
			}
		}
	}

Thank you very much, worked like a charm and I learnt a bit about how npc pathfinding is coded.
