| Dec 5, 2012 at 20:31 | comment | added | House | Yes, something like that. Plug it in and see how it works. | |

would it be along these lines then mice[index].targetPosition = mice[index].mousePosition += (separate * separationImpact) + (moveCloser * cohesionImpact) + (moveAligned * alignmentImpact); mouseOrientation = Game1.TurnToFace(mousePosition, mice[index].targetPosition, mouseOrientation, MouseTurnSpeed);

Yes. You should be setting the seekPosition and using the TurnToFace function in the flocking. Since you're just setting the position of the mice, you're not making them move toward the desired position. So they won't necessarily be facing the position you move them to.

They run away from me seperately which flows nice, then they go to flock and go sideways to their closest member. Would it still be fixed by how you detailed above? | |
