Big thanks to Slyddar for the video

[@rileywaldo1580]

The only thing I would add to the code is give the min and max weight values to the o_target_parent so every time you add a new item to weigh you don't have to increase the size of the switch statement. You can simply tune the min and max on each new added item.

[@lemonberries]

Great explanation of weight values. Also, these videos are very well produced

[@azrhyga]

Great tutorial!! Good job for Slyddar making it!!

[@SamSpadeGameDev]

Really cool! Also map_value!

[@foxandliongames]

This was great, thank you for laying this concept out so well!

[@BarronofBeanz]

I learned so much from this!!!! Thanks!!!

[@GameMakerEngine]

One of our favourite tutorials too 😊

[@bearwillow6108]

Great video! These tutorials have helped me so much!

[@emeryro]

Thanks for this, nicely done! One remark: couldn't you save the highest weight (and corresponding item) already in the first _num loop? That way you don't have to browse the array twice

[@nuclearbeeberman]

This is great, would love to hear more AI stuff for GMS2

[@NoLootStudios]

Could be really cool to use this. Gave me an idea for a new enemy atleast. Big thanks!

[@timcal1968]

Sorry if I'm being thick here, but the video mentions that there should be a link to the demo project, however I can't find it?

[@GameMakerEngine]

You're 100% right. It's now in the description, or here: www.mediafire.com/file/stl9r8w4jn3y2fp/Designing_Smarter_AI_%25281%2529.yyz/file

[@FwwPlayer]

lots of code! Everything in game maker requires a lot of code, in other engines the same results are possible but with much less code. And I'm not even talking about visual programming.

[@nemo9396]

The AI is not making choices, it is following established paths. A choice is an option you can ignore, but an algorithm is a path you must follow, no matter what you want to do.
