How to: script Artificial Intelligence
#31
Both links are down.
To live a life of power, you must have faith that what you believe is right, even if others tell you you're wrong.
The first thing you must do to live a life of power is to find courage. You must reach beyond the boundaries of time itself.
And to do that, all you need is the will to take that first step...
Ask not what others can do for you, but what you can do for others.

I made quite the noob script probably, lol. I'm also expected a real noob mistake.. I don't really understand it all just yet.

I'm getting the following error(s):

ai\692.as: INFORMATION : Building.
ai\692.as: <12, 2>: ERROR : Unexpected token 'else'
ai\692.as: ERROR : Unable to build module

I also don't really understand when I should use certain characters such as {. And yes, I used Clide as a base for his AI...

Well just like normal mathematics you need to open and close your braces properly.
Your second if statement is missing the {do stuff}.
if (abs(self.x-target.x) > 0 && (self.state == 2 || self.state == 0)) { }
And I think you are missing/closing other {/} braces too.

First return 1;} closes the main ego() function (this should happen at the end).
Second if after long/mid again is missing braces. if (abs(self.x-target.x) > 0 && (self.state == 1 || self.state == 0)) { }

Maybe use Someoneelse's data changer and choose new AI file, it will make braces that belong together bold when your cursor is near them.

<x,y> means that there is a mistake on line x, in this case 12.
The mistake is that everything beyond "//basic move conditions:" isn't within a function, and once it encounters something that should be inside a function (such as an "else"-statement), it throws an error.
Also the "else"-statement has to follow an "if"-statement, but in this case it is following the function declaration ("int ego(){").

{'s and }'s are used to indicate a block of code.
An example of this is in an "if"-statement. If you want to execute multiple lines of code you'll have to group it within the two brackets like this:
    CPP-Code:
if(this_is_true){
   do_one_thing();
   do_another_thing();
}

If we were to leave out the brackets like this:
    CPP-Code:
if(this_is_true)
   do_one_thing();
   do_another_thing();

it would only be the next statement ("do_one_thing();"), and the statements after that would be executed no matter the the result of the "if"-statement.
Also note that the indentation of the lines doesn't matter, so all the following pieces of code mean exactly the same thing
    CPP-Code:
//code 1
if(this_is_true)
   do_one_thing();
   do_another_thing();
 
//code 2
if(this_is_true){
   do_one_thing();
}
do_another_thing();
 
//code 3
if(this_is_true){do_one_thing();}
do_another_thing();
Age ratings for movies and games (and similar) have never been a good idea.
One can learn a lot from reinventing wheels.
An unsound argument is not the same as an invalid one.
volatile in C++ does not mean thread-safe.
Do not make APIs unnecessarily asynchronous.
Make C++ operator > again
Trump is an idiot.

I now want to set a dodging move for attacks that cause >= 70 injury (AI will only do it when it has >= 400 MP so it won't be a cheap move). Is there a way to do this? An alternative would be using target.state == 3, perhaps with a target.mp condition.. but it would not have the same effect
I don't think a class parent that checks the target's itr injury value is implemented. I don't want to be nosy, but I wouldn't advice being that specific with your AI's. Imagine a scenario where your opponent is about to hit you with a super deadly combo with 10 hits. Each hit causes 30 damage (which means your character won't do the dodging move D: ), and thus 300 of your hp. Checking all that would just be a waste of time.

Code:
else if (self.mp <= 400 && (abs(self.z-target.z) > 40) || (abs(self.x-target.x) < 1000 && abs(self.x-target.x) > 320)) {
  if (self.x-target.x > 0){DJA();}         //DJA
  else if (self.x-target.x < 0){DJA();}   //DJA
  
  return 1;
}

//instant attacks
if (self.state == 5){A();}                                               //dash attack
if ((self.frame == 286 && target.state == 11) || (target.state == 16)) {A();} //long combination
if ((self.frame == 353 && (target.state == 11) || (target.state == 16))) {DuJ();} //meteor combination
if ((self.frame == 353 && (target.state == 16) && self.mp >= 220)) {DrJ();} //kamehameha combination
if (self.frame == 365 && target.state == 12){A();}                     //kick up
if (self.frame == 244 && (self.mp >= 85) && (self.x-target.x)*((self.facing?1:0)*2-1) > 50) {DuJ();} //IT Kamehameha
if (self.frame == 166 || self.frame == 20 || self.frame == 172 || self.frame == 22 && (self.mp < 500) && (abs(self.x-target.x) < 1000 && abs(self.x-target.x) > 250)|| self.frame == 166 || self.frame == 20 || self.frame == 172 || self.frame == 22 && (abs(self.z-target.z) > 30)) {A();} //DJA+A+A..
return 0;
}
Can you please show use the code above the "else if" statement? Namely the original first "if" statement.

Well, if the script you are working isn't an extension for a main AI - a brand new AI where you even control walking and stuff-, it won't pick items by default.

Actually you can - but I agree that this isn't the best approach.

I'm making this pretty confusing: moved the post to a new topic just before you guys replied.

I will add the first part of the code in that new topic..

Also, the character should only dodge sometimes, not always.. that is the main reason for choosing a higher injury. If there are other ways, I'm fine with that too.

Also one more thing, that is here:
Code:
(self.mp <= 400 && (abs(self.z-target.z) > 40) || (abs(self.x-target.x) < 1000 && abs(self.x-target.x) > 320))
I would recommend you use parentheses when using "||" and "&&" at the same time. Cuz without them, you can make sure the computer will interpret condition the way you want.

P.S: a mod should please merge these to the new thread.
