Problem description:
I am making a simple AI routine. Combat and Movement. Movement is destination based. So NPCs move from destination to destination. I am using step_towards proc because the destination is too far away for step_to proc to handle. I had to write my own Dodge system as step_towards doesnt handle obstacles and its working pretty well.
My first question is, is there any better way to do this? (long distance travel)
My second point. I tried to implement a combat system (code at the top). But the NPCs seem to have trouble working together at larger numbers. They position themselves wrong and get stuck even though i am using step_to proc! I even tried to use my Dodge() proc as a possible solution, but it didn't help.
So my second question is: Can you see an obvious mistake in my logic, or did I approach this problem by a wrong way?
Thank you for your replies. All help is appreciated!
