Mapping (Pathing etc.)

[suicidity]

Thanks; My thinking place though is the toilet or I usually go to bed thinking about it; And I'll wake up with an image in my head, lines of codes flying and ideas flowing like Urine flows at 5am.

Just a place to get back, sit there and let things soak.

lol.

I got about 1000+ Lines of code for my pathing.

Been working on it for a while. XD

[suicidity]

1000? I was going to say I could send you my pathing..

Mine is done all in about 40 lines; The extra stuff like the mapper and stuff I dismiss, but + loading / saving it's done total probably 60 lines.

1000 lines seems really excessive; But you may just be coding a monster masterpiece.

Lol. well i made it do zepllins etc

+its a full mesh map so lots of things for that.

Not on topic of mapping, but I got a base for custom routines set-up for my bot.

Similar to Glider's it loads a .vb file and runs it, choosing what it should do and passes it.

how do you exclude a public variable from serialization?

EX:

public int charmanderkills = 9999;

how do i not serialize that when i do the whole class

[suicidity]

Oh, the glorious custom routine!

Well i got my bot working mostly for pathing except for a few flaws here and there mostly logical. having some trouble with it backtracking but all can be fixed in time i suspose.

Im kinda troubled here. I dont know how I should make my navigation mesh class. I mean. The simplest way would probalby be by just going for squares with XY and merge unecessary squares.
And this is pretty much the only thing I can find when I google on it.

Is it anyone who uses polygons instead of squares? I got the feeling this would be much better? Also, about flying? How do you determine a flyable path? Just everything above walkable surface? Or do you avoid flying obstacles that are not objects. Like the islands in Nagrand.

Ehh.. this post ended out quite blurry. But I guess the question is..
Do you use squares or polygons? And does anyone know a good source on optimizing the merging of polygons?


crap. this should have been a new post. But ok..
