Simple Melee AI Problem

[blechi]

Hello,

i'm using  Invector Version 2.5.0 with Unity Version 2019.3.0f6 and i'm facing this problem:

The vEnemyAI-controller detects, chases player and attacks player depending on the values
in the Detection-section if player enters detection-zone for the first time.

If player runs away and enters the detection-zone for the second time,
vEnemyAI-controller can see the Player but will not chase and attack player,
even if player deals damage to AI. The AI is blocking and dodging, but won't attack/chase.

I played around with different values in the Detection-section without success.

Only need simple AI to prevent player from entering specific areas depending on game progress.

Any hints?

Indeed this is not the behavior we want and it's missing this line in the PatrolWaypoints() method, add at the end of the method:

if (canSeeTarget)
currentState = AIStates.Chase;

This will make the character switch the currentState to Chase again

Thank you for the fast answer!


I pasted code at end of PatrolWaypoints(), but no success.


State changes to "Chase" when AI-Controller detects player, but AI won't attack when entering detection-zone for second time.


What i found out:

If AIs Current State is set to "Idle" or "Wander", then AI attacks if player enters detection zone for the first time.
If i set AIs Current State to "Chase", AI won't attack, even if player enters for the first time.

I will take a better look at the chase behavior and upload a hotfix soon!
