Walking through obstacles

[Moorky 0]

Hey guys!

I've been running into a problem creating my new script.

To get to the area I want the player to go, it has to go through multiple portals, doors, ladders etc.

What would be the best way to handle this?

First I tried to handle all the obstacles with prioritising but this doesn't work smoothly.

Now I'm thinking about creating multiple areas and check in which the player currently is so it knows what to do next. (which will be a lot of code)

Maybe you guys have any idea on how to handle this better?

Greetings, Moorky

You can add obstacles by doing something like this:

getWalking().getAStarPathFinder().addObstacle(new PassableObstacle("Obstacle name", "Action", null, null, null));

Put it in your onStart

It's such a troll. You know how much I rage when I waste hours wondering why it's not working

Based on the replies here, using an object such as Obstacle(String name, String action, Tile location (or int x, int y), int animationId) is a good way of presenting it that way. Also storing the animation ID would be nice, so you can check when you are done with that obstacle. And you can check for when it's complete such as:

 

protected boolean isComplete() {
     return (getCurrentAnimationId() != this.animationId);
}

 

Of course you would have a delay and so on, and the above is psuedo-code. But you get the point.
