baddie tutorial

[coreys]

I remember a long time ago, someone made a tutorial on gs1 baddie scripting. I've been wanting to find that tutorial to give me some help on a script I've been wanting to make, but I can't find it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and where I can find it?

With the existance of the NPC Server, it's 100% useless now.

I wanted it basically for its tutorial on scripts to follow a player.

EDIT: I should probably help. This is the function I use for chasing, assuming you understand how to implement it. It's called on a .5 second timer, the gettarget() function isn't the one I use, because I'm using a more complex aggression system to pick a target. I changed it to target the nearest player, here.

PHP Code:

function Chase(dx,dy) {
  dx = limit(dx,-6,6);
  dy = limit(dy,-6,6);
  len = (dx^2 + dy^2) ^ .5;
  mx = (dx / len) * 1.5;
  my = (dy / len) * 1.5;
  steps = 6;
  target = gettarget();
  for (a = 1; a <= 6; a++) {
    temp.tdx = target.x - (x + mx * a);
    temp.tdy = target.y - (y + my * a);
    temp.tlen = (temp.tdx^2 + temp.tdy^2) ^ .5;
    if (onwall2(x + .5 + mx * a, y + 1 + my * a, 2, 2) || temp.tlen < 2) {
      steps = a-1;
      break;
    }
  }
  setcharani("walk",NULL);
  dir = getdir(mx,my);
  if (steps <= 0) return;
  if (steps == 6) move(mx*6,my*6,.6,0);
  else move(mx*steps,my*steps,((steps-1)/10)+.1,0+8);
}

function gettarget() {
  return findnearestplayers(x,y)[0];
}
