Tactical Battle Engine Help....

MasterDario · 2003-08-06T10:10:45

Hi everyone, im currently creating a tactical battle engine game in a very simple scripting/programming tool known as RPGMaker2000. It is rather simple to use, so for that reason i have decided to use it for now. My question to you programming experts is the following: In terms of the enemies artificial intelligiance, in your knowledge of programming, how would i go about determining the distance of squares the hero is from the enemy, in terms of x and y coordinates so lets say this is the map: e represents enemy and p represents player, X represents all the possible squares on the map X X X X X X X X X p X X X X X X X X X X X X e X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X See, in this example this would be an 8 by 5 area, so how would i determine how far the player is from the enemy so that i can store it into a variable then i can easily tell the player to walk Variable X to the player then Variable Y. I know i might sound confusing lol but give me a break im still kind of new at programming . I appreciate any help given

Hi,

I''m also interesting in writing some sort of tactical AI engine that should help the computer to decide what sort of action to do in figthing a battle.

Please, I''d like to exchange some ideas about how to implement it (I also post here for some help some months ago ...).

Thanks
