Does anyone know how to make a CPU that can shoot and move around?
What do you mean by ‘CPU’?
He means AI opponents.
I see…is that just an educated guess? Or is ‘CPU’ standard terminology for an AI agent? (I’ve never seen the term used that way before…)
In my experience, “CPU” (beyond it’s actual meaning of Central Processing Unit) I’ve seen used synonymously as “computer” or “computer player” in the context of video gaming. For example, “Play against the CPU” or “the CPU cheats!” It’s a bit informal/crude, and it’s been a while since I last heard it, but I’m pretty sure that this is what he means in this context. Sort of how some people might refer to all console gaming systems as “x-boxes”.
Hm, ok. I’ve certainly never seen developers use the term that way. ‘CPU opponent’ maybe, but not ‘a CPU’ :S
Yes, there are people who know how to do that.
A more better helpness would be -
You need to walk your way through a tutorial or two. We can help with specific problems, but something so incredibly vague as “an AI” is something you need to work on yourself.
ok thank you
Neither have I. This is a throwback to my childhood.
I believe NPC is the proper current jargon and for the OP, there’s the old Unity pseudo-FPS demo hanging around somewhere, although it’s not targeted at iOS and doesn’t contain anything approaching a sophisticated AI.
