Title: Proximity of Ego to another actor
Post by: Jim C on December 13, 2003, 04:42:33 PM

Hi:

My short game is almost finished! I have a question, though. If I want to be able to give an item to another actor, but only when I'm within a certain distance of him, how do I do it? This other actor can move, so that complicates things a little. I'm sure there's an easy way to do it. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Here you go Jim try something like this:

(if(Said('give/fish'))
 (if(send gEgo:has(INV_FISH))
  (if(< (send gEgo:distanceTo(hMan)) 30)
  (send gEgo:put(INV_FISH))
  Print("Here ya go buddy!"))
  (else Print("Stand closer to the hungry man!"))
 )
 (else Print("You don't have a fish to give!"))
)

The other actor moving is irrelevant, on line 3 it checks to see the distance to hMan if it is less than 30 you're close enough, otherwise you're told to stand closer
