I been thinking about how to AI this thing

http://s895.photobucket.com/albums/ac159/123savethewhales/bait0.jpg

I think I need
front back invertible (maybe one involving smart zone and alternating the radius back and forth?).
Fire weapon (another smart zone), by alternating between left and right on half second interval (probably using analog), so the flails moves back and forth dealing damage.

The problem is I am not sure how to do any of those things.

@Mad: Into python itself?

Whipper.py ?

Yea, GK.
Can you select some posted text and then simply paste it into a py doc (preserving the formatting)? Might be a prob on my end,... though I can't see how.

Give me a minute...

I've copied S32's cheap popup stuff. It seems to be formatted fine, but i'll test it out now on the game.

It works fine ingame. Must be something your end Mad.

Madiaba · « **Reply #267 on:** December 25, 2009, 07:07:32 AM »

Huh. Thanks for help isolating the issue, GK.
In the mean time, just PM me your py and I'll look at it in an open slot.

No problem.

I have a SnS that uses FBS_1. It usually works fine, but every so often it just stops and spins the other direction for a second or 2. It's very annoying because 1. It only works when spinning CW, and 2. because it slows the spinning down obviously.
Any ideas to make it spin CW all the time without it turning CCW at random moments?

Naryar · « **Reply #270 on:** December 25, 2009, 01:42:28 PM »

I had a few similar issues with Cataclysm when it was using FBS_1 as well.

Just use PillarPlus or my beloved FBS.py with a high 'spinspeed' value.

Madiaba · « **Reply #271 on:** December 26, 2009, 09:36:51 AM »

FBS_1 has a very efficient 'immobile' detector that will sometimes stop the bot before you see the immobile countdown start. IF this is the case then it's just doing what it is supposed to. I've not seen any other behaviors in it for it is a basically a simple FBS AI.py with the first bullet-proof immobility solver, that was sometimes a problem in the Pillar.pys.

IMHO: I think Apanx's FBS is the best FBS AI.py I've seen so far, because, while it doesn't eliminate totally the chance of immobility, it almost does in proactively seeking the enemy bot.
Yet for only a few FBSs, one of the 'Pillar', my 'FBS_1' or CB's 'FBS_2' might still be the best option.

Nar, I've not looked through your mod of FBS, yet...

Of course FBS.py is the best

Well, i've done 2 mods of FBS.

First is FBSPlus (FBS.py with incorporated spinning weapon support, now used by a few of my NAR AI HS). I just copypast'd a part of Spinner.py in FBS.py and made the necessary additions for it to work.

And the other one is just a slightly modded FBS.py that changes spinning direction when inverted - i think i posted in in the RAW 2 thread (since i made it for Iron Storm 5 so the maces spin the right way). I just removed a line that handles the spinning direction if the bot is inverted.

Now the next logical step would be implementing both setups in a single .py, so FBSPlus with an optional bindings entry that makes it spin one way or another when inverted .

I made a verson of FBS_1 that was designed to help Gyratory Reborn preform its second glitch when being counted out as a means of moving to break count.

Nary, can I see your FBSPlus.py?

Can you send me a copy of this version? I think my SnS can benefit from always spinning at the razor side.

FBSInvertDir? It's in this RAR i sent to Sage.

Thanks. I will send you the update for my second team as well as my third team after some testing (FPSInvertDir instantly made all my SnS better).
