I loved Jeff's character arc so much. Probably the best example of character development I've seen.

If weapon = “bow” if distance >= x Action = fire In the simplest of terms

[@andreusallman5697]

@@Bunta1987qwerty I would want to code him to have a distance preference that way he tries to move back slowly while firing as they get closer and also so hes able to shoot them from close still I'm not a coder but I know that has to be possible if not a little difficult Essentially he'd prefer to be a certain distance from his enemy but if he's forced to be closer or can't/shouldn't be any farther he can still shoot instead of locking up and trying to get to the usable distance for his bow

[@Bunta1987qwerty]

@@andreusallman5697 you could make separate loops. One for motion, the other for firing. If distance < min, run.direction(normal); elseif distance < max, walk.direction(normal); else walk.direction(angular). Angular would mean strafe motion instead of moving away. while combat = true && distanceDelta < min, shoot. distanceDelta could be defined by while combat = true, distance0 = distance; delay(x_milliseconds); distance1 = distance; distanceDelta = (distance1 - distance0) / x_milliseconds. This assumes several things; you have a distance class or function already in place, which does the math to measure distance from player to enemy; walk is maybe a class you've defined, and direction is a method you've defined, while normal and angular are values you defined as perhaps functions (these could be global functions so they can apply to various points of relativity, or local so they're defined by enemy distance). Additionally, the loops could all fall under a single tree, or as nested loops, or even independent. I've left this mostly free of syntax, as every language would require it to be different, and you could certainly write it branchless. This is unoptimized and just written on the fly (tons of people can write it much better), but I hope it helps you get a general understanding of how it might be programmed.

[@88SJoe88]

Fun. Some stuff that might greatly add reality into this, maybe you could consider: 1. Limited stamina and stamina regeneration per time. Used in running, strikes, rolling and parrying; 2. The use of armor reducing stamina regeneration per time; 3. Opponents noticing when the target is showing their back against them; 4. Using long ranged weapons from away lol; 5. Reduced stats like agility, strength and parry skills when at low health; 6. Everyone knowing their optimal attack distance upon everyone's combat skill level allowing that more or less; 7. Stunning effects upon getting a decent hit (important!); 8. Weapons specific effects, like bows piercing armour, knives being able to strike faster, weapon mechanics like inertia affecting damage and attack speed; 9. The ability of physical balance being affected by atributes or general combat level 10. Specific weapon expertise; 11. Irregular terrains; 12. Anger and fear affecting attributes like increassing strength and burning stamina and strategy, being developed by opponents number and by getting hit (also resisted by combat level or intelligence/knowledge stats); 13. Sun effects upon direction faced temporarely reducing combat level
