I have a question to ask. This is for the bots with AGODed weapons.

Is it possible for an AI'ed bot to move its weapons during the intro or the countdown? Because I usually press the pause button before the match starts, and spin the weapons so that the bots return to its natural position without flopping around.

AGODed ?

anyway, until the function Activate() is called we are not sure the our bot is fully build.
And it feels like this function is called just after the countdown. What make me think that, is, if you put bad code in your activate function, it crashes the system after the countdow.

but if any one has another experiment on the domain, i hear him/her.

it usually stops the weapons right at 0 for me if i start them before the countdown. almost like it resets Havok.

here is a new version of the AI chart
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/AI-Chart-2.3.rar

no much new informations but :

-more standard AIS are referenced (FBS, SOW AIs)

-pictures have been added to illustrate the AI

-the AI.py are joined with the archive (more easy to get)

-chart is given in .pdf and .doc version (thus someone may enriched the.doc).

-all about nose (Madiaba's post in this thread)

For those who don't know it yet, this document explains :
-how to substitute a bot from the Aied ones with one of your own bot
-how to 'bind' (<-> Ai) your bot
-how to create a new Aied team
-some useful information for the creation of your own AI

Does anyone know where to get the Popup AI.py? It does not appear to have been included in the AI chart folder.

Pwnator · « **Reply #105 on:** July 08, 2009, 04:13:56 AM »

As far as I know, I found one in R1's AI pack. But for everyone's convenience, I'll post it here. :D

Thank you so much Pwnator!

hunh I never knew about that lol I normally use omni.py with smartzone "weapon"

Madiaba · « **Reply #108 on:** July 08, 2009, 01:05:35 PM »

We're going to make all of the AI.py available as an appendage to the Tutorial....

I really don't get the PillarPlus.py.

I used it for a disc SnS, and i did put 'range2' as an average value (less than 20), but the dang thing spun right on at the beggining.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #110 on:** July 08, 2009, 05:21:00 PM »

I like the idea of PillarPlus, but I have the same issue as Nary.

version 2.3 of the archive comes with almost all of the AI.py (but Popup that i did not have, anyway, popup brings nothing more than a standard 'omni' as noticed in a post above).

Nar, Inf, range2 needs a REAL small number, my Big Bad Brother and Cube Of Pure Evil have something like 2 as far as I remember, I lost their bindings when I found out that my Multiextenders were all 3kgs and I reinstalled DSL clean version.

Description: - Sits-and-spins in just one direction once opponent is in specified range, and doesn't stop unless immobile counter begins. For sit-and-spinners that only spin one direction.
Define 2 ranges :
self.spin_range = 50 -default value- : use to activate the Spin button (parameter “range”)
self.turn_range = 3 -default value-: if enemy < turn_range and not immobile: turn. (parameter “range2”)
ir argument “right” == 1 -> turn right, otherwise will turn left.
Bindings Info/Example(s):

Code: [Select]

    list.append((&quot;Haymaker&quot;,&quot;PillarPlus&quot;,{'nose':math.pi,'invertible':True,'range2':12,'radius':2,'topspeed':100,'throttle':130,'turn':20,'turnspeed':2,'weapons':(11,12)}))
    list.append((&quot;Iron Spaghetti&quot;,&quot;PillarPlus&quot;,{'nose':math.pi*2,'range':99,'range2':6,'radius':1,'topspeed':100,'throttle':130,'turn':2,'turnspeed':0.1,'weapons':(21,25,26,27,33,34,35,36)}))

Naryar · « **Reply #114 on:** July 09, 2009, 03:51:27 AM »

Ok, so Range is the usual spinup range (just like in Omni, Spinner, etc), but i still didn't get Range2... is that something with immobility?

philetbabe · « **Reply #115 on:** July 09, 2009, 04:11:48 AM »

Right,

a good "PillarPlus" mounts its weapon on motor.
while ennemy in 'range', it spins its motor.
To make more damage, when ennemy is in 'range2' -which must be shorter not to get immobilized- it turns on itself, emphazing so the spin of the motor with it self-spinning (much like a whipper).

Trovaner · « **Reply #116 on:** July 09, 2009, 04:23:29 PM »

So in other words, range is the maximum distance (defaults to 50) before the weapon motors start spinning while range2 is the maximum distance (defaults to 3) before the bot itself starts spinning. While the bot itself is spinning, it won't stop even if it is being counted out so you don't want to set it too high...

I have a piston bot and the piston wont fire.

The control is a button named "Fire"

The smartzone is named "weapon"

I am using Omni.py, and have tried Poker.py. Niether work.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #118 on:** July 11, 2009, 07:24:37 PM »

That's weird.

Well... is the control wired to the piston? Maybe you replaced it and forgot to re-wire it?

Is the smart zone in an easily accessible place? Maybe try using an overly huge smart zone just for testing purposes.

Does the bot have air tanks?

Also posting the Bindings and maybe a picture of the bot would help.

list.append(("Stinger","Omni",{'invertible':True,'nose':math.pi,'topspeed':99,'throttle':130,'turnspeed':2.5,'turn':60,'radius':0.3,'range':99,'weapons':(1,2,3,4)}))
