Im Currently develop a little Dungeon Crawler. The Singeplayer works fine, but it also should have multiplayer so i implemented it. But there's one problem. I have no idea how to make the AI chase the player and the other players. In singleplayer it works like this :
if(distanceToPlayer <= 400f){
entity.chase(playerEntity);
}
Heres my full chasing code :
// in enemy update method i put all multiplayers into a map with their login number..
// Pick a random Multiplayer and chase him
boolean isAvaible = false;
//Convert Map to Object array
Object[] values = ((EnemyEntity)arg0).mpSortedPos.values().toArray();
int rdm = 0;
float randomValue = 0;
// wenn map isnt empty
if(((EnemyEntity)arg0).mpSortedPos.size() > 0){
rdm = generator.nextInt(values.length);
randomValue = (float)values[rdm];
isAvaible = true;
}
//selecting the key
// +2 because the first joined player is the second Player in the game so it begins with connection 2, the second with 3 and so on.
int key = rdm + 2;
// Only printing stuff
System.out.println("Found a Map : "+((EnemyEntity)arg0).mpSortedPos + "Size of da HashMap : "+ ((EnemyEntity)arg0).mpSortedPos.size());
System.out.println("Found a Random Value : "+rdm + " "+randomValue );
System.out.println("Found a Key: "+key + " "+((EnemyEntity)arg0).mpSortedPos.get(key) );
// When the multiplayer is near the enemy than
if (/*((EnemyEntity)arg0).distanceToNextPlayer < 400 && arg0.isAlive() == true */ isAvaible && ((EnemyEntity)arg0).mpSortedPos.get(rdm) != null && ((EnemyEntity)arg0).mpSortedPos.get(rdm) < 400) {
((EnemyEntity)arg0).activated = true;
arg0.stateMachine.changeState(CHASE_ENTITY);
}
This is my code for multiplayer chasing but it doesnt work ... any ideas ? What could i improve ?
But how should i do that with multiple players ? Any ideas ? :)
