Another boring night on TWITCH.TV. I finally found pretty much all of the lines of code I need to script a better AI but man, it is soooo confusing to have to control the rotLeft/rotRight/GoForward/GoBackward/strafeLeft/StrafeRight of the NPC... I'm having a hard time focusing here

[EDIT:]

Currently Streaming but it's gonna be a boring 3 hours of recoding the AI for the combat drones or any follower drones for that matter. Feel free to watch if you're interested. You might have a chance to see the full interior station MOD in action, building turrets from the station Terminal INSIDE of the station or accessing the Ship OnBoard computer to spawn combat/mining/repair drones or even accessing the galaxy Market from within the player ship. It's pretty cool but things need to be polished on the AI for the drones as I am tired of seeing some jerky movements and whatever when I see the drones in Combat crashing into each other and crashing on me.

Feel free to log in Twitch.TV to have a quick look, just feel free to ask me and I will show you INGame the things mentioned above. Otherwise Im gonna be working on the drone AI.

EDIT: Beware - you will be bored to death as I have not been coding the AI for weeks litterally... So I've got to dive back in and re-learn my dusty scripts.

EDIT: Wow... what a wasted night on Twitch because of me... 3 hours wasted trying to dive back in my old scripts to build a better AI for my mods. I know i can do it. I just need to remember and re-understand whatever I coded way back when. Sorry for wasting your time. I might stream tomorrow too.

EDIT: finally found what i was looking for. Those are lines of codes that I DO understand or remember what theyre actually outputting ... I'm gonna work on them tonight with the new drone movement AI that I want to build as I am unsatisfied with the current one.

I will save and put on Youtube the streams that are not junk... yesterday was junk so no youtube lol.

Hi,

Here is the image of the current bug I am facing. Is it due to too many colliders on the same object?
