One tiny thing as well. I'm not sure if I missed something here, I have been following along. but the locomotion script seems to be wildly different from the last vid. Maybe start with explaining changes you have made previously or run with the old (even if it is worse) script just because it can lead to some confusion
I confirm what you say! They piss off these guys who change things without talking about it! In programming, there are a lot of guys like that! they suck!
Thanks for your approach on this one but I think I'd do a few things a little bit different: - I'd scrap the AIAgent entirely. It adds nothing to this whole construct that cant be moved over into the StateMachine. The machine as component would be quicker to use and offers more straightforward setup possibilities like directly defining the available and initial state. - I'd build a AIState factory to create instances of states by enum value which can be pre-defined in a public array. No hardcoding of instances. But otherwise I'm fine with your other parts. Especially the interface part is neat since I'd just gone with a class full of virtual methods to override instead.
- The AiAgent was an intermediate component that I built on for the rest of the series (basically a component cache). But I do agree the statemachine could have been a component. I can't remember exactly why I chose this approach at the time but I'm sure I had a reason. - The idea was to keep the enum separate from states so you could map different types of 'attack' states for different enemy types to the same enum. But the other states could still enter a generic 'Attack' state regardless.
I'm at 6:46 in the video and keep getting this error when I save the script: 'AiChaseState' is missing the class attribute 'ExtensionOfNativeClass'! followed by this warning: GameObject (named 'Enemy1') references runtime script in scene file. Fixing! Help would be appreciated.
If anyone needs it i attach waypoints transform array into Aiagent and into scriptable object created bool, if aiagent go for random waypoint or cycling it from start.
Hello, I'm using this playlist for a college project. I keep getting stuck on the AiChasePlayer script. I getting a NullReferenceException error with the code. I don't see the issue with m ycide and I've been following along pretty well with the video. Is there any way you or anyone can help?
I think I had the same error. I had put an Update() function in private when it had to be put in public. Try to see if you have not put certain functions in private and also see if you have correctly assigned the components " GetComponent() ". If you want, you can send me the error line so that I can help you. Good luck !
So everything goes well until I get to 6:35 and then I can't do the alt enter bit? I have poured over the script I may have missed something in my frustration but it looks identical but it throws back the error error CS0103: The name 'AiState' does not exist in the current context
I got the same error every frame I ran the game but the problem was that you need to go to your player game object in the hierarchy and use the drop down for tag and select it as player
please help i'm getting this error- Assets\MyScripts\AiChasePlayerState.cs(5,35): error CS0738: 'AiChasePlayerState' does not implement interface member 'AiState.GetId()'. 'AiChasePlayerState.GetId()' cannot implement 'AiState.GetId()' because it does not have the matching return type of 'AiStateId'.
Amazing video! Just a question, how do I implement different types of enemies using this state machine structure? Do I just make a new State script for each type of enemy deriving from the "AiState" and register the correct StateMachine on the Start function?
@@TheKiwiCoder Hello. I have the same question, but I don't think I fully understood your answer. Can you elaborate a bit more about how to asign each AiAgent diferent states please? Thanks :)
Love this video, perfect for a project of my own with a little tweaking, but in the future do you think you could explain more in-depth as to why you do things the way you do? In this video, for example, I'm not sure why we need to register states or have an array of enums that just lists each enum. why not just function off of the enum itself?
Hey yes I will try! The reason for the register state is it allocates the state ahead of time. So switching states doesn’t trigger an allocation and thus no garbage to be collected.
The episode is great, thanks for sharing. Will you cover other state like: - Stage of shooting + switching weapons - Stage of hiding behind a cover (probably tricky one) - Stage of idle till Player do some kind of behavior (shoot to Agent), then Agent will run away or will attack a player. - Stage of patrolling (walking from point A to point B, possibility to have more points (this sounds pretty easy) Also how about Agent's FOV, so when player is in Agent frustum it will change his stage. maybe this will inspire you with some new stuff for your next tutorial episode if you do not have any! :)
@@trod146 mate, dont be toxic here. My profession is not related to the game. And I assure you are wrong. I am happy to see more stages because I would like to learn how to make it properly. TheKiwiCoder said he worked in a game company so he knows so many useful and handy stuff and correct way of using them. Please be cool to others, we dont need any hate on his channel.
When i added the aiagent scripts and dragged everything from what you mentioned in the video, my ai doesn't move and when the ai's health dropped to 0, the ai ragdoll seems to be negated
