There are two ways to do that; the cheap, easy way or the "proper", difficult one.

The easy method is to add something like this to ai_run in ai.qc:

Code: Select all

if (self.enemy.classname == "whatever your monster's classname is")
     if (self.enemy.attack_finished > time)
          ai_run_slide();


The "proper" way is to do a search for projectiles within a radius, predict their future positon based on direction and velocity and determine if it will come close to the predicted position of the monster, then move in a direction perpendicular to the velocity of the projectile.

Much harder.

Dodge can be make like this(on demon for example):

void() demon1_jump4 =[ $jump1_3, demon1_jump5 ]
{
ai_face();

self.touch = Demon_JumpTouch;
makevectors (self.angles);
self.origin_z = self.origin_z + 1;
self.velocity = v_right * 600 + '0 250 70';
if (self.flags & FL_ONGROUND)
self.flags = self.flags - FL_ONGROUND;
};

The demon will dodge like players in UT2k3 an UT2k4.

Jumping prediction is pretty hard, which is why just about every quake bot ever happily jumps into lava with no thought for its safety.

However, if you don't use velocity, but use the code I posted (which uses the discrete walkmove for movement), it won't fall off ledges, it'll just change strafing direction when it reaches a ledge.

Can this be modified to make Grunties ("monster_army") avoid Grenades?

So i have done the dodge function without fall of.So i have last question about monsters.How can i make grunt shoot homing missile just like in quoth?And how can i set monster earthquake when the boss make "strong attack"?
