List of GameObject, Filter trough it and Select Nearest

Keltar

Hi,

I would like to use an auto battle system (in 2D Real-Time so whole map is in battle) where you can select wich mob you fight like in this game :

If you check Spider for exemple, the player will move towards the closest Spider it can find.

So first i know the player can't use the move AI (wich i would like if he was able to), so i use a NavmeshDestination. My probleme is to create a list of Target, filter trough it with bool Variable and then select the nearest GameObject. I'v come up with this :

I select a combattant and put it in Selected Data : MonsterList, repeat this for each species of mob in the scene, then check bool variable and remove from the selected Data mobs that are false. Then i select the nearest gameObject.

it's not working but i'm not sure if the problem is the "list of target" i'm making with Select Combatant, or the Select Nearest GameObject node.

Thanks.

Use the Select Combatant Objects node instead of Select Combatants.

Select Combatant lets you use already available combatants (e.g. the player or machine object/user of an action) and get other combatants from their group, targets, etc.

Select Combatant Objects lets you search for combatant game objects based on defined conditions and optionally limited range. So, this node is used if you search for combatants in your scene without previously having them available in the schematic.

Additionally, there are different actor types (Settings node) available to e.g. get all enemy combatants in battle.

The Debug Value for GameObject Position show 0, 0, 0 I'm not quite sure if i 'v put the right settings in

Select Combatant Object :

and Select Nearest GameObject :

Don't you want to get the nearest game object to the player? You need to use the player's position, not the monster position.

Yep, i changed this and it gets the position of an enemy.

But Now in the NavMesh Destination Node Debug Value it show the position of the player(1972, 2484), not the one in Selected Nearest GameObject (1439, 1863).

Like if "MonsterSelected" Data doesn't get the change, and only store the Player position

You're doing it the wrong way around - you need to use the player in the Position settings and the monster list (selected data) as the object. You want to get the nearest monster to a position (i.e. the player position), right now you're getting the nearest player to a monster :)

Ok i found the solution for this, i needed to put first the monsterlist in GameObject Settings and then the Player.

Only the Filter is not working now. I put a Selected Combatant Object with remove data, and status condition of a specific mob, And the player still move to the mob.

I found the culprit :

It needs to be "one" instead of all. I tought it was for All my targets...

Thanks a lot, everything seems to work :) !
