So how do I make an enemy ai to stop shooting at the player when a wall is blocking it's view?

Hello, lovely people, can you help me with this enemy ai JavaScript?

Here is a video of the problem:

Here is a code I found on the internet:

I can adjust the detection distance but it won't be realistic on open ground.

I tried Raycast detection method but how do I make the ai to shoot only when it hits the player collider?

Code (JavaScript):

1. var Player : Transform;
2. var enemy : Transform;
3. var IsAttacking : boolean = false;
4. var Bullet : Rigidbody;
5. var SpawnPoint : Transform;
6. var Distance : Vector3;
7. var DistanceFrom : float;
8. var fireRate = 0.5;
9. var nextFire = 0;
10. function Update(){
11. Attacking();
12. // Calculate the distance between the player  the enemy
13. Distance = (enemy.position - Player.position);
14. Distance.y = 0;
15. DistanceFrom = Distance.magnitude;
16. Distance/=DistanceFrom;
17. var fwd: Vector3 = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
18.      
19. // If the player is 20m away from the enemy, ATTACK!
20. if(DistanceFrom<30 && (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, fwd, 100))){
21.  
22.      
23.          
24.          
25.              
26.                  // Make a path
27.          
28. IsAttacking = true;
29. }
30. else{
31. IsAttacking = false;
32. }
33.  
34. }
35.  
36.  
37. function Attacking(){
38. if(IsAttacking){
39. // The enemy isn't blind so it should face the player
40. enemy.LookAt(Player);
41. //Shoot
42. if(Time.time > nextFire){
43. nextFire = Time.time + fireRate;
44. var Shoot = Instantiate(Bullet,SpawnPoint.position,SpawnPoint.rotation);
45. Shoot.AddForce(SpawnPoint.forward*1000);
46. Destroy (Shoot,1f);
47. }
48. }
49. }

 

I'm not sure what script this code is attached to.
It seems to only check one enemy versus the player but this should do the trick. Note: You need to put box colliders around all your walls. (or anything else that could block a bullet)
This is C# code so it might be slightly off syntax wise from java

Code (CSharp):

1. if (DistanceFrom < 30)
2. {
3.         RaycastHit hitInfo;
4.         Vector3 directionToPlayer = player.position-enemy.position;
5.         if (Physics.Raycast(enemy.position,directionToPlayer,hitInfo,100))
6.         {
7.                    if (hitInfo.gameObject == player.gameObject)
8.                                isAttacking = true;
9.          }
10. }

 

It was attacahed to enemy objects

 

So why this line:

Code (CSharp):

1. var enemy : Transform;

Wouldn't you just be using this scripts transform:

Code (CSharp):

1. transform.position   where had enemy.position

What variable is being dragged into enemy?

 

It asks for a semicolon but there was already a semicolon lmao

 

Post the modified Update function and point out what line has the semicolon error if you can't figure it out. I bet its something above it thats wrong so the syntax part of the compiler is expecting a semi-colon in a place you woudln't expect one to be.

 

Code (JavaScript):

1. var Player : Transform;
2. var enemy : Transform;
3. var IsAttacking : boolean = false;
4. var Bullet : Rigidbody;
5. var SpawnPoint : Transform;
6. var Distance : Vector3;
7. var DistanceFrom : float;
8. var fireRate = 0.5;
9. var nextFire = 0;
10. var quak : GameObject;
11. function Update(){
12.    
13. Attacking();
14. // Calculate the distance between the player  the enemy
15. Distance = (enemy.position - Player.position);
16. Distance.y = 0;
17. DistanceFrom = Distance.magnitude;
18. Distance/=DistanceFrom;
19. // If the player is 20m away from the enemy, ATTACK!
20. //PROBLEM
21. if (DistanceFrom < 30)
22. {
23.         RaycastHit hitInfo;
24.         Vector3 directionToPlayer = player.position-enemy.position;
25.         if (Physics.Raycast(enemy.position,directionToPlayer,hitInfo,100))
26.         {
27.                    if (hitInfo.gameObject == player.gameObject)
28.                                isAttacking = true;
29.          }
30.           //PROBLEM
31. }
32.  
33. else{
34. IsAttacking = false;
35. }
36. }
37.  
38.  
39.  
40.  
41.  
42.  
43.  
44.  
45.  
46. function Attacking(){
47. if(IsAttacking){
48. // The enemy isn't blind so it should face the player
49. enemy.LookAt(Player);
50. //Shoot
51. if(Time.time > nextFire){
52. nextFire = Time.time + fireRate;
53. var muzz = Instantiate(quak,SpawnPoint.position,SpawnPoint.rotation);
54. Destroy(muzz, 1f);
55. var Shoot = Instantiate(Bullet,SpawnPoint.position,SpawnPoint.rotation);
56. Shoot.AddForce(SpawnPoint.forward*1000);
57. Destroy (Shoot,1f);
58. }
59. }
60. }

 

Are these declarations ok?

Code (CSharp):

1. RaycastHit hitInfo;
2. Vector3 directionToPlayer = player.position-enemy.position;

all the variables up top are declared like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. var hitInfo : RaycastHit;
2. var directionToPlayer : Vector3;
3. directionToPlayer = player.position-enemy.position;
