Hi,

I'm using perfect ai with litec and everything worked fine (compute.c) but i found where problem is using beep(); it's in this while loop::
while (paths[(my.start_node - 1) * 50 + (target_node - 1) * node_id * 50 + current_node] != 0)

it cant get into it. that while loop is not true.

is it maybe that i need to use more brackets inside of it like this maybe:
while ((paths[((my.start_node - 1) * 50) + (target_node - 1) * node_id * 50 + current_node]) != 0)


can someone please help me with that?

Have you found out what the sum of all that is before it is used as the while condition?

It looks fine to me (the first one that is) so perhaps the condition equals 0 so the while never starts.

yeah that's true. but i'm using perfect ai code and i dont understand why does it happens so.

i could really use some George Pirvu's advice

i'd put more brackets in there definately, but i guess it's doing what it should be anyway if you got this from a tutorial?

with
it's impossible to see what's going on,

when doing calculations they aren't necessarily calculated from left to right, but in the order of *or/ then % then +or-

what you've written there (if i get this right) is...
while((paths[((my.start_node - 1) * 50) + ((target_node - 1) * node_id * 50) + current_node]) != 0)

which i'm not sure what you want but it's a lot easier to see... current_node is never multiplied, and i'm not sure why you're always muliplying my.start_node with 50,

if you're working off of a nodegrid you have no calculations there for both x and y axis

hope this helps a little but without seeing what you're trying to achieve it's hard to unravel what you're doing

that line of code is from pirvu's perfect ai, but you're maybe new to 3dgs so pirvu is the one who's writing aum magazine and in aum 27-31 i think he was creating workshop perfect ai, about node based pathfinding, and that line is not working for me for some time.

i also had problems with this kind of code: if(key_w || key_s || key_a || key_d), that line didnt work also without more brackets

i've just done a quick test for the 2nd line and have no problems with that



can't help you any further except maybe your compilers having some issues, but there is no way you can visibly check that... hmmm...
