@SoltharRygelsun That's not an A* problem, that's a programmer problem. A* doesn't search for the "best" path or the shortest path. It searches for the least-cost path. It is the programmers job to make sure that path cost evaluation prioritizes desirable paths. If you use distance as cost, then you can't complain when A* finds shortest paths, cause that's exactly what you told it to do.

The enemies should move faster.

very smart ;)

The main problem with the A* algo is that it always chooses the best path. If you make it so each enemy doesn't always choose the best path It'll go a long way to eliminate bunching

I am trying to make a rpg too. Yours looks better though. Lol

[ROLLANDandCOLORS]

Yeah, bunching up seems to be a common problem for A*, from what I've seen. Great job so far. I'll probably have to subscribe.

It's great as long as you can loose that aggro

[H3llkn0wz]

nice

Great work! I really like the way you're displaying the data for algorithms. That kind of display really helps in debugging and extending the game.
