Hi All,
I am beginning to work on the mob AI and I had a few ideas of how to implement it. I was thinking that the monster class implements the actions that all the mobs can do (like: WalkToDestination, FollowPlayer...), and during the mob tick, the mob executes (or keeps executing) the action that is set in a member variable like m_CurrentAction instead of doing an action depending on the state that it is. Also, during the tick, the mobs "decides" what action to take depending on what's around (check if it sees player, check to see if sees lava). Also, I was thinking that this decision can be done on a lua script. This way it can be easily changed. I am thinking something like an AI folder with all the scripts for each mob.
What do you think? Good idea, bad idea?
