nice, but how do you put the nodes name inside a variable and how do you load the Lvl.1txt inside a variable too

In coppercube's documentation there is a Javascript reference glossary: https://www.ambiera.com/coppercube/doc/index.html

But basically, once you created the txt file using 5v3n plugin you can use 'ccbReadFileContent(filename)' to load the file and 

'ccbSetCopperCubeVariable(varname, value)' to send them into a var. something like this: 

ccbSetCopperCubeVariable("nodes",ccbReadFileContent("Lvl1.txt"));

You may need to first create the coppercube variable in the engine doing a 'When scene load' -> 'set or change a variable'

(IDK how is in english, i have coppercube in Spanish).


Is one of the very first thing the game does. The .ccb is inside the folder in case you wanna check it out. Sorry i didn't documented it.

Now i think about it, i have an extension for an action that does that exact thing. I don't have it at hand right now, but i can share it later.

ok, thanks a lot, i'm looking forward to the extension

Here, simply create a js file with this:

/*
<action jsname="action_send_txt_file_to_var" description="Read a txt file and send it to a variable">
<property name="Filename" type="string" default="Filename.txt" description="Enter the Filemname to be entered"/>
<property name="Variable_Name" type="string" default="" description="Enter the name of variable to be loaded"/>
</action>

*/

action_send_txt_file_to_var = function () {

};

action_send_txt_file_to_var.prototype.execute = function (currentNode)
{

ccbSetCopperCubeVariable(this.Variable_Name,ccbReadFileContent(this.Filename));

};

You can either use this script or what i said ' ccbSetCopperCubeVariable("nodes",ccbReadFileContent("Lvl1.txt"));' inside the action 'execute a javascript' 

Don't be afraid to ask me anything else. :-) lucks.

thank you for being responsive and welcoming

what about the path nodes name to put in StartNodeVar and EndNodeVar, how do you put those nodes into a variable

You are welcome pal. :-)

To be clear. You don't put the nodes as is in the variables, you put the names of the nodes either by doing a  'ccbSetCopperCubeVariable(varname, value)' or by using the action 'Set or change a variable'. 

So if you wanna move a character to a node named "chair", you either do a ccbSetCopperCubeVariable("end_node", "chair") or a 'Set or change a variable' -> VariableName = 'end_node' , operation = 'Set (=)' , ValueType = 'Value' , Value = 'chair'

Now I get it, thank you so much

Also, this pathfinding action is so good, i was thinking why dont you expand it to an enemy action,to make enemies look smarter, that would be a plus, what do you say  :)

Thanks, though I can't take the credit. I made it with ChatGPT.

:-/

And honestly, why don't I create an enemy action or behavior from there? Well, for one thing, it didn't occur to me, haha. For another, there are many types of enemies that work differently: soldiers who take cover, zombies, blind monsters that react to sound, paranormal entities, a math teacher, etc.

Need help making a specific enemy? I can’t promise anything, and I’m busy with an asset pack, but I can try to give you a hand.

:-)

soldier enemy type will be very helpful, well using AI for coding isn't bad too :)

I would like to hear from you
