AI for racing opponents?

[TheNoahGuy1]

I'm making a 2-D topdown racing game, but I have one question:

How do you program AI for the opponent racers? I want the racers not to follow me, but to pass me and move towards the finish line, although I can't figure out how to program it, unless I use the path movement (which I don't want to use.)

Any help?

Hi. Look at my FastCar Example on my website. It uses a random number for the cars.

Try this by 'Caesar' it's the best I've seen. Hope it helps http://community.clickteam.com/threads/88041-Race-Car-Opponent-Help?highlight=Racing

opps just realised that this is a 2.5 example....sorry! I'm sure the code could be implemented in 2.0 though, if you can get a hold of it.

Noah, this one is roughly the same as the one aenever posted. It should work on MMF2: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2vo3pm5fmn..._MMF2.mfa?dl=0

Marv, if it's worthy, feel free to add to your website
