Isn't there also a typhoon spike on the DSL bar?

After digging through the posts that you made in your showcase, I would say that you want something like this as your bindings:

Code: [Select]

    list.append(("Toxic Wound","Omni",{'range':50,'radius':1,'topspeed':100,'throttle':100,'turn':100,'turnspeed':2.5,'weapons':(13,)}))

Just be sure that you are using a button or analog controller named "Spin" instead of a switch (like I previously mentioned).

I think it's preset because I remember someone making an Arnold the Terminager bot of sort and it would land on its back and wouldn't selfright. Or Rampard sticking the landing in BB6.

[G.K.]

Quick question. In a line of bindings using omni.py, which is the variable that determines how far over a bot has to tip before it uses its srimech? Or does such a variable exist?

Are you talking about my Heavy Metal entry, by any chance?

[Badnik96]

So whenever I AI a rammer, it keeps backing into walls too much in the ring arena. Is there a way to change this in the bindings?
they look like this:

Code: [Select]

    list.append(("Kurt Rambis 2","Rammer",{'ThresholdSpeed':1.5,'SightRange':4,'invertible':True,'radius':0.5,'topspeed':100,'throttle':100,'turn':100,'turnspeed':2.5}))


[G.K.]

I'm using OmniInverted.py, but my bot doesn't drive when it is righted and the bot continues to fire its inverter constantly. My guess is it is to do with the wiring, but can anyone give me a hand?

[G.K.]

Look in Rammer.py, do you have all the .py's mentioned at the top of it like tactics in your AI folder?

[090901]

Ok, so I need help AIing ty4er's Tusslers 3 robot. The robot refuses to drive when AI'd even though it drives fine in the bot lab, any ideas?

[G.K.]

Put the bot and AI line up.

[Virus Bomb]

you probably misspelled forward or something.

[090901]

Put the bot and AI line up.

https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/6512Gaze.zip

Code: [Select]

list.append(("Gaze","Omni",{'invertible':True,'radius':0.1,'topspeed':99,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':2.5,'range':99,'weapons':(0,)}))

[MassimoV]

I'm pretty sure that you can't change it.

[Badnik96]

Having a bit of trouble with FBS_2.py, it says in the file that if I enter any number other than 1 for the 'clockwise' value in the bindings, it'll spin left (the way I need it to spin), but I've tried a bunch of different numbers including negatives with no luck. Any tips?

Have you tried -1?

Hello and good evening to you.

I really hate to go partially off-topic, but I need some help.

What is this " 'weapons':(x)" nonsense in the bindings? How do I find out what numbers to input in place of x?

[rnifnuf]

Thanks, Lightning.

Now I need help with something else:

I have a popup called "Cutting Wedge III" that I am trying to AI. Here is the binding:

Code: [Select]

    list.append(("RNF-0032III Cutting Wedge III","Flipper",{'nose':math.pi*2,'radius':0.1,'topspeed':100,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':2.5,'weapons':(12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19)}))Weapons 12-19 are all razors.

Here is the controller:

The smartzone is named "weapon". The buttons "Fire" and "Srimech" are both wired to the BSGs.

What do I do to get Cutting Wedge to fire the BSGs?

[helloface]

I use Omni.

[Trovaner]

As Lightning S. mentioned, Flipper.py requires the trigger to be called "Flip" and the smartzone to be called "flip". It is also worth noting that there is no Srimech option.

Omni.py would be a slight upgrade to Flipper.py just because it has a Srimech and the upsidedown checker doesn't work well for Flipper.py (Omni doesn't have one).

Popup.py would be better than both of the above because it only fires when an opponent's chassis enters the smartzone. If you use this, I would recommend adding 'NoChassisTime' with the number of seconds that you want it to have a component in the zone before it will stop waiting for the chassis before attacking.

Good evening Trov and Lightning.

I finally got Cutting Wedge to work. Thank you both for the advice

But now I have another dilemma.

I have a Superheavyweight HS that I AI'ed that crashes the game when the bot loads.

Binding:

Code: [Select]

    list.append(("RNF-0016 Roto Destructo (SHW)","DirectionalSpinner",{'nose':math.pi*2,'radius':0.2,'range':99,'topspeed':100,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':3,'weapons':(14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25)}))Weapons 14-25 are all Large beater bars.

Any tips?

[helloface]

You need four spaces infront of list.append
    list.append(("RNF-0016 Roto Destructo (SHW)","DirectionalSpinner",{'nose':math.pi*2,'radius':0.2,'range':99,'topspeed':100,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':3,'weapons':(14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25)}))

[Trovaner]

Since it is crashing when the bot loads, I'm guessing that it isn't a problem with spacing but a problem with the name of your bot not matching the name given in the bindings.

DirectionalSpinner is found inside of Spinner.py (a file that comes with RA2). Unless your HS has a Srimech, you can leave it as a DirectionalSpinner with no significant difference in performance (most people use Omni for HS). DirectionalSpinner uses a trigger called "Spin" unless you rename if from in the bindings.

For future reference, please use the BBC tags for code instead of the box tags. I don't mind fixing it but it is obviously better if you do it. If you are on the post screen than it is the button that has a "#" on it. You could also do it manually like so: [code]Your code[/code]

Just for completeness, it looks like this when you post it:
