Just to let you all know that I've had to remove the game. apparently I was infringing some copyrights.

Egon, could you take it off the projects page as well please?

What I do for my AI is a very simple path finding, I've got a few paths stored in an array.
When an AI car is close enough to the current point that it is moving towards, it steers to the next point.

Getting some pretty nice results.

works fine for me

Here's a problem I'm having.

I want a car to align to a surface. so what I've got is 4 dummy objects that are in position of the wheels.
These dummies are always on the ground polygon where the wheels intersect the ground.
That all works fine but how do I align my car to the angle created by these?

I've got this (forward angle only) but it doesnt quite work:
forward_angle = collision_fr_dummy.getTransformedCenter().calcAngle(collision_fl_dummy.getTransformedCenter()););
player_vectortest_matrix = player.getRotationMatrix();

if (player_vectortest_matrix.getYAxis().z > forward_angle) {
car_angle_current_frame.z = forward_angle;
} else if (player_vectortest_matrix.getYAxis().z < forward_angle) {
car_angle_current_frame.z = -forward_angle;
} else {
car_angle_current_frame.z = 0;
}

player.rotateZ(car_angle_current_frame.x*2);

any help much appreciated

yes, please feel free to add it. thank you.

Not sure what youre doing but if your object is off screen, you remove it. Then the next frame its off screen again and you remove it again resulting in the object being removed when its already removed.

Also, all this adding and removing will result in a lot of garbage collecting and will affect the frame rate of your game. What I do with my new game is have 10 objects in an array. When I don't need them I hide them and when I do need them I make them visible and reset their position so they're ready for processing again.

Also, don't define an object3d  In the render loop. That will add to the garbage collecting. Define a temporary 3dobject when you initialize your app. That way it will always be available to reuse without it needing to be recycled.

Why are you adding notes to notes2 twice?

Gentlemen,

It's been tough going at times and it sure has taken a long time but my first game on android is finally ready; Gunship assault.
You can choose a helicopter of your choice and fly it through 3 big environments. There are enemy helicopters, boats, tanks, and plenty of objects to destroy.

I admit that graphically it could have been better but my team mate abandoned the project and was left to do it all myself. Framerate is a bit dreadful at times but you can adjust
detail levels in the menu. In the end I decided to release it otherwise I would be working on this forever.

Controls are best with the joystick and instructions are a bit unclear.
Basically, you press the radar to get to the map and once an objective is in the center of the screen, the objective is selected as your current objective. The arrow at the top points to it.

I hope you enjoy it and I welcome any feedback and suggestions


Oh and Mr EgonOlson and the forum; Thank you very much for all your help and making this engine available. (for us to abuse)
