Follower units have a following glitch
Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2017 8:26 am
What is supposed to happen:
The follower is supposed to be following the mouse-controlled player but suffers from glitches.
Glitch 1
The follower does not move vertically. That is, it does not move up and down regardless of where the player is.
Glitch 2
The follower only follows you to the right if you are below it.
Glitch 3
The follower only follows you to the left if you are above it.
If you are on the same vertical plane, it does not do anything.
Where to look
Guesses where/what it might be wrong
In the unit control section.
It could be a problem with my 'end' commands, stopping the program from completing other tasks
Whole code

Code: Select all
for p,v in ipairs(Spawned_Units) do
local speed = 150
if v.x > follow.x then
v.x = v.x - (speed*dt)
end
if v.x < follow.x then
v.x = v.x + (speed*dt)
end
if v.y > follow.y then
v.x = v.x - (speed*dt)
end
if v.y < follow.y then
v.x = v.x + (speed*dt)
end
