Hello,
I’m making a simple “zombie” enemy for my game. It uses 2 functions: MakeZombie (to create it) and ZombieRoutine (to update it).
I make the zombie a CharacterControl object. It seems to work fine for one monster.
If I try to run makeEnemy more than once, I get multiple enemies on screen, but only one of then moves.
Is there anyway I can make zombieRoutine access the right zombies?
Furthermore, is there anyway I can generate zombies automatically like “zombie1”,“zombie2” and so on?
The code:
[java] private void makeEnemy(Vector3f loc) {
CapsuleCollisionShape zombieCapsule = new CapsuleCollisionShape(1.5f, 6f, 1);
zombie = new CharacterControl(zombieCapsule, 0.05f);
mzombie = (Node) assetManager.loadModel(“Models/Oto/Oto.mesh.xml”);
mzombie.setLocalScale(0.5f);
mzombie.addControl(zombie);
bulletAppState.getPhysicsSpace().add(zombie);
zombie.setPhysicsLocation(loc);
rootNode.attachChild(mzombie);
}[/java]
[java] private void zombieRoutine(){
Vector3f spd = ppl.getPosition().subtract(mzombie.getLocalTranslation());
zombiewalk =new Vector3f(0,0,0.1f);
if(spd.length()<=battery/4) zombiewalk =new Vector3f(0,0,0.01f);
Vector3f sub = model.getLocalTranslation().subtract(mzombie.getLocalTranslation());
if(sub.length()<30f){
if(character.getPhysicsLocation().z > zombie.getPhysicsLocation().z ){
zombie.setWalkDirection(zombiewalk);}
else{
zombie.setWalkDirection(zombiewalk.negate());}
}else{
zombiewalk =new Vector3f(0,0,0);
zombie.setWalkDirection(zombiewalk);
}
}[/java]
Thanks in advance 
Add this stuff to a list and then call the zombieRoutine() for each element in the list. I’m going to get around to posting the code for something like this eventually but that’s basically how I did it. The real problem is that the CharacterControls don’t seem to want to collide with each other.
