bot movement forward/backward about yapb

[jeefo]

m_moveAngles - is movement direction, t has nothing to do with the view angles. So if direction points "forward", the m_strafeSpeed is in use.

If you want bot to stop you have to disable portions of navigation and avoidance code to make it work. Or just set strafe&move speed to zero.

P.S. what the point of preventing forward/backward and allowing right/left speed ?

i want to improve combat movement, the bot should never move forward/backwards, only strafe like a human. what determines if the direction points "forward"?

Obviously the m_destOriign which is by default destination path origin, if nothing else set.

for example, if !usesKnife () on focusEnemy() I want to stop all navigation, m_moveSpeed = 0.0f; m_moveToGoal = false; no moving to goal etc., he should only strafe like a human left/right.
m_destOrigin = m_enemy->v.origin; and go into combat strafe mode, (only IN_MOVERIGHT or IN_MOVEEFT) + checkWallOnRight/Left () is enough
however even now with the strafe in attackMovement () the bot still moves forward/backward. I do not understand what excatly causes this, lets say simply: if(!usesKnife () && (m_states & (Sense::SeeingEnemy))) // block forward/backward

I can't replicate the problem, if move speed is set to zero in attackMovement () bots very rarely moves forward for me.

I bet you need to check body angles are faced against enemy too or take in account bot's body angles. take a look at setStrafeSpeed()

rarely is not acceptable if I want none. alright I will find out myself, thx
