Help with player and ai(solved)

[cameron]

Im trying to make my income wars game. I cant figure out a way( a good way ) to easily choose between spawning an ai marine and a player marine. Is there any good way to do this?

I figured out a good way after 5 hours of coding.

Alright... From your first post I would have had no idea what you were trying to do, so just out of curiosity, what did you try to do?

You have talked about your income wars game for some time now but not really told what it's about. Seems like something interesting.

What I was trying to do was not have to make a spawn function for every unit. So i did the polymeriphism thing. I just made one spawn class that can spawn any unit in the game.


I stopped working on that game until 2 days ago when I remade the whole thing. My other one was very disorganized and I couldnt even read my own code.

The game:
2 bases.
the player sends units based on the amount on money in his bank (each unit varies in price )
there will be meele units, ranged, and AOE units.
every unit you send the players income increases
the income is sent to your bank
same thing with the comp
you try to destroy the enemys base first one to do that wins.
There will be more that one unit once I get the the game made Im just starting it with one to test it out.

Right now I am trying to make a targeting system for my units, to target enemy units based on their distance from my unit. I have no idea what soever on how to do that.

I also need to put vectors into this game soon.
