Alright, I got it to work with FBSPlus.py (is this the best version?), but there's one flaw: since my battery capacity is quite low the bot will decrease in spin speed dramatically during the fight. This AI file only takes one parameter, spinspeed, to see if the bot already is spinning fast enough before prioritizing moving to the enemy. So, at the end of the fight my bot just sits there spinning and doesn't attack whatsoever.

Is there a way to find out battery power (like self.GetBattery() or something) in the AI Python script? If there is I can brew something myself.

There are no easy ways of checking the battery power using python. Your best bet is to either make a rough formula (with a binding for the amount of power and drain) or have the spinspeed decline over time (with a binding for the rate of decline).

Unfortunately, the drain isn't always linear so these methods aren't always accurate. There might be a way to use the sergepatcher as a means of looking up a specific value but it might be more trouble than its worth.

Alright, I just added two paremeters:

drain
draintime

It basically substracts "drain" from "spinspeed" gradually in a linear way during "draintime" ending in "spinspeed"-"drain".

I'm trying to AI a pop-up for RPJK's AI pack, and when a match is started, it avoids the enemy (drives directly into the wall)

Code: [Select]

    list.append(("Yus","Omni",{'nose':math.pi,'radius':1,'topspeed':99,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':1,'weapons':(24,25,26,27,28,29,32,33,34,35,36,37)}))

I can replace omni with popup.py if it's needed.

My guess is that the nose is wrong. Try deleting the 'nose':math.pi,.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #925 on:** September 04, 2011, 06:35:26 AM »

Worked. Thanks NC.

For future Info, Deleting it doesnt always fix the problem, it just makes the robot use the default which is

'nose':math.pi*2

The 4 common building directions are..

'nose':math.pi*2
'nose':math.pi
'nose':math.pi/2
'nose':-math.pi/2

If you build with your robots using the top of the Blueprint as the front of the robot you only need 'nose':math.pi*2

Oh, and before you go like why math.pi and stuff, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radian

I got a question, what pythonshould I use for Torque reaction hammer bots?

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #929 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:43:13 PM »

It's a crawler right?

If so, then TRFBD.py should work. It has a feature that makes the AI drive back and forth when the enemy is in a certain range, which on a TR hammer would make the hammer swing.

Thanks Click.

How would I AI this:

There is no control board and therefore no controls.

you add a control board
or you just make it a sitting duck with nobrain.py, iirc.

MassimoV · « **Reply #933 on:** November 01, 2011, 09:01:49 PM »

It's for Steel Warzone though and he can's really edit a competitor's bot so, I guess you'll have to use nobrain.

Was skimming this thread, figured I might as well upload this nose orientaiton guide I made a while ago. Hope this helps someone.

nice stuff R0B0... should be a huge help to those starting out

God, I hate to do this, but can I get some help Ai'ing this bot? Everything I'm trying is failing miserably.

All help is appreciated.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #937 on:** November 04, 2011, 04:21:11 PM »

InMyArms2.py might work if you take a look at it.

yoda9726 · « **Reply #938 on:** November 04, 2011, 11:50:10 PM »

been trying. Servo never moves at all. Can you guys double check me, please? I've got the servo wired to an analog named Servo, and the smartzone is labeled as servozone. Here's the bindings, values aren't exact yet, i'm just currently trying to get it to work at all....

Code: [Select]

    list.append(("HoverVore","InMyArms2",'nose':math.pi*2,'servodelta':0.15,'servospeed':100,'servonose':1,'servoopenangle':10,'servocloseangle':0.5,'range':99,'radius':0.1,'topspeed':100,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':5,'weapons':(2,)}))

Finally finished AIing, but these 2 bots crash my game:

Code: [Select]

list.append(("Return To Sender","FBSPlus",{'nose':math.pi,'spinspeed':7,'range':99,'radius':0.1,'topspeed':99,'throttle':130,'turn':70,'turnspeed':4,'weapons':(20,21,22,23,24,25,26)}))
    list.append(("Ion-","FBSPlus",{'nose':math.pi,'spinspeed':7,'range':99,'radius':0.1,'topspeed':99,'throttle':130,'turn':70,'turnspeed':4,'weapons':(20,21,22,23,24,25,26)}))

Yes, I have FBSPlus

There is 4 spaces, just didn't copy it.

It crashes when I start the match. It gives me this error:

(yes this is in the SW-SBV thread, but thats not really where it belongs)
