Aiming Code

[Elnof]

I have one small pet peeve with this game: the larger mobs wont look at the smaller ones, they just fight looking right over their heads! It goes the other way to, the smaller ones will look at the legs of their enemies. I know that default Torque doesn't handle aiming all that well (it just has them target the center of the box), so I've got some code here (http://garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=75727) that you might be interested in. As of June 06, 2008 at 7:42 Central Time, it has a bug with projectile weapons, but I haven't seen any of those in CoP, so it should be workable.

Well honestly, if im fighting a grizzly bear, i'd really rather not have it go for my head O.o...

If you have specific aiming by mobs around the world, you'll have to add critical hits against the head/neck, and possibly other such things... It just makes it super complicated doesnt it?

I havn't noticed a problem with where mobs are aiming, and as long as it's in the direction of the player taking the damage, it's okay with me :P
