Ai way points + paths, REFUSE to follow direction even with correct flags.

I'm trying to make two roads, both crossing each other, and separate ai paths, no luck.

I've attached an image showing 3 (actually 4) scenarios I've tried, all of which aren't working:

1.) Shows a tunnel (blue) that has two one-way lanes going through it (green) and one one-way lane (red) that joins in to share the tunnel. AI refuses to stick to course.

2.) I've set things up using way points, wp1 -> wp 2 -> wp3 -> etc still ignores the red line and joins up on the green line instead.

3.) Continous red line, with green lanes setup with way points, and still the car sticks to the green line.

I've adjusted their drivabilities, I've got "one way" I've tried flip direction, nothing seems to make this work.


I figured if I had, "stay in lane" on it would work but it doesn't in this case. So I've removed the two green lanes' way points for now, and just run the red lane straight through the tunnel, then it of course works, but as a result I have no green lanes anymore. If I have all three, the car always takes the green lanes (shortest distance) which I thought I could avoid with STAY IN LANE but no.

So, I need to find out how to make the AI stick to ONLY it's specified way points and not pay attention to others.

Two different paths occupying the same road, simply doesn't work in my case (again, because I'm trying to get the AI to take the LONGER route which it doesn't want to do.)

Any ideas?

Actually, I've attached a second image that's showing what's ACTUALLY happening - the AI gets to the tunnel and either tries to turn around right away, or gets to the other end, then turns around and even though "ONE WAY" is set in both the lua file for the way points:

Code:

      "beachTunnelLane1" : {
        "nodes" : ["beachTunnel_L1_1","beachTunnel_L1_2"],
         "drivability" : 1,
        "oneWay": true,
        "flipDirection": false

and the paths, the car still goes against it. I thought waypoints would overpower it, "wp1 can ONLY go to wp2" but it doesn't care and will still go back on itself to take the shorter route :'(

 

I tried that, and the result was that the AI still turned around when it saw the other points, because I need all the points to be there for the other lanes to remain working

 

The problem isn't that the roads intersect, it's that when the AI sees a point on the other road, it takes that one, regardless of whether or not it's raised! I used way points to avoid the intersections in the first place =)

 

I drew the picture, because a screenshot is too messy to make sense of and most of it is hidden by trees and rocks etc.. =)

I also . . don't want to show what I'm working on yet

 

This is caused by, "autojunction" on the pathing. There is no option to disable that, and I've tried doing, "autojunction: false"

Well well well, look what I've just come across haha!

Maybe just adding WAY MORE waypoints would fix this.. I dunno. The auto junctioning really breaks things up. I'm trying to cross FOUR lanes and what should be a nice straight lines just gets destroyed and the ai loses it's mind.

( I should say, it IS working, but...... it's very dirty and I'm sure there's a "disable autojunction" or SOMETHING for pathing!)

 

If I understood right, you want more paths intersecting, but want the AI to continue on the path.
I'm not entirely sure, but I believe it's not possible as of now.
Crossing paths will automatically create an intersection, and the AI can decide to change path from them.

If you use a scenario tho, and specify the exact waypoint route for the AI, they will follow that.
(see the 'Intersection' scenarios lua files, where we tell the AI which waypoints to drive through)

 

Thanks for chiming in!

I had figured it wasn't possible, but think it would be absolutely lovely to have a checkbox for, "Create Junction" for ai pathing, seems like something very useful! Also assumed making a SCENARIO was the best bet here, but for now I'm just commenting out waypoints in the LUA file. Waypoints ONLY would work, but it's the combining ai decal road paths and way points that breaks things due to the auto junctions.

Thx!

FWIW, I mentioned it IS working just it's tricky to MAKE it work because you have to place the road ways in a very specific way to avoid junctions. So there's that at least, but again it's a very dirty way of doing it.
