Easy walker

[screen_name]

Here is something I was playing with a few days ago, possibly for Cira Baen, not sure yet.


Instructions:

Left-click on the npc you want to move to select it (name turns blue), then right click somewhere to move to
You can also use the arrow keys to move the character, but if you use them while you are walking, it will cancel the clicked spot
Left-click on another NPC, on the current NPC, or left-click off of the NPC to deselect it
Move the mouse cursor to the edge of the game screen to move the camera

I know there isn't any onwall or pathfinding, but it's just a demo for the staff to decide if they would like it or maybe even a RTS server.

I didn't download it, but your description reminds me at a soldier I once made (not published though).
You could command it around using the mouse and it would attack other players. It could even walk around simple obstacles.

I like your way but why not do something like

NPC Code:

---

if (created) {

  showcharacter;

}

if (mousedown){

  dx = mousex-x;

  dy = mousey-y;

  dist=(dx^2+dy^2)^.5;

  dir = (abs(dx)>abs(dy)? (dx>0? 3 : 1) : (dy>0? 2 : 0));

  xinc = dx/dist;

  yinc = dy/dist;

  for(i=0;i<dist;i++){

    x+=xinc;

    y+=yinc;

    setcharani walk,;

    sleep .05;

  }

  setcharani idle,;

}

---

yes, no onwalls either

Nice Idea...

This was just a quick demo for the staff, so I just put it together real quick.

Nice work!

More effiient: instead of checkign x any y to get there
do a getangle and take the shortest route to the end point

You'd probably be right if you weren't actually hideously wrong. Getangle is extremely inefficient and completely unnecessary if you have even the most basic understanding of mathematics.

ok man, noone can deny your skill, but stop putting other people down because they may not be as good ok? it is not BASIC math...
