      Parameters:
      maxRange - The maximum range of the Engineer's weapon.

  • Method Details

    • start

      public void start()
      Runs the task and triggers Engineer's idle animation.
      Specified by:
      start in interface Task
      Overrides:
      start in class DefaultTask

    • update

      public void update()
      The update method is what is run every time the TaskRunner in the AiTaskComponent calls update(). triggers events depending on the presence or otherwise of targets in the detection range
      Specified by:
      update in interface Task
      Overrides:
      update in class DefaultTask

    • updateEngineerState

      public void updateEngineerState()
      Engineer state machine

    • stop

      public void stop()
      For stopping the running task
      Specified by:
      stop in interface Task
      Overrides:
      stop in class DefaultTask

    • getPriority

      public int getPriority()
      Simplified getPriority function, returns the priority of the task
      Specified by:
      getPriority in interface PriorityTask
      Returns:
      priority as an integer value. If mobs are visible, return the current priority, otherwise return 0.

    • isTargetVisible

      public boolean isTargetVisible()
      Uses a raycast to determine whether there are any targets in detection range. Performs multiple raycasts to a range of points at x = engineer.x + maxRange, and a range of y values above and below current y position. Allows the engineer entity to detect mobs in adjacent lanes.
      Returns:
      true if a target is detected, false otherwise

    • fetchTarget

      public com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector2 fetchTarget()
      Fetches the nearest target from the array of detected target positions created during the last call of isTargetVisible
      Returns:
      a Vector2 position of the nearest mob detected.
