Title: iTween for AI - How useful is it? [SOLVED]
Post by: intrikit on October 11, 2013, 01:51:58 PM

I'm going to start to workout my enemy AI and have been looking into iTween for movements like patrolling back and forth a platform for example. I know Alex Chouls suggested another poster to use the level as much as possible to manipulate NPC behavior but after looking into iTween, it seems like a godsend. I plan to use triggers and collision along with iTween but i'm just wondering what iTween's limitations are in terms of enemy behavior. Thanks!

Hi,

 iTween will give you some performance trouble on Mobile devices. And the very important thing to be aware of is that *ANY* tweening engine really is meant to tween between two defined position, for example, *NOT* for following a player.

 iTween is indeed very powerful, if you target mobile, I suggest you look into hotween ( which has playmaker support as well).

Bye,

 Jean
