Making AI run away from Player

[taharqo]

I wrote an AI Task that fires a line trace 8 times, in 45 degree rotations around the actor. Then it compares each collision (or end point) to find the furthest location from the player. This seems to work fairly well. It was difficult for me to keep up with the fleeing actor.

You could take this a step further and have it run another 8 line traces from each location it finds for a total of 64 possible locations. It would use the furthest navigable location from the player. I didn’t take it quite this far but it’s possible and there was no lag at all running 8 line traces.
