Author Topic: Full body spinners and drums.... how to AI them. (Read 1783 times)

You guys have made quite a few FBS and such. I've came up with a way to AI them.

Reactive AI!

Using Mad's attachable smartzones, you can make them AIable. Here's how:

Metod:

Attach those SZ to extenders at these angles:

The front ones make the bot go forwards, but the back and side ones make the bot turn so the front SZ faces the opponent. This AI could work with full body spinners and full body drums.

Like?

can you illustrate this with a schema ?

I like the idea. Could make for more of a realistic FBS charge instead of wating for your opponent to come to you.

Like this, but bigger range and attached to extenders and not the chassis.

Nobody likes the idea?

I'm not sure it's well understood yet, S-32. Why don't you give more detailed explanation for the laity.

BTW: SZs won't attach to component APs(extenders) without BFE. But SZs will attach anywhere around or away from the bot, so you can put them wherever you want, even across the arena.

I've some feedback I'll share later..

sorry missed the thread, I'm liking what im seeing just figured it out (explanation is a little vague) and think its really great, should stop full body spinners being counted out when the other robots don't run into them

could you post up a video when you get the chance ?

Nice work S32

Mad, I'm Thinking of your SOW AI, but the smartzones affect the drive.

Does that help?

The smartzones detect where the enemy is and drives in the direction it was detected...

System32 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 02, 2009, 12:00:51 PM »

Yeah. All while the chassis is spinning.

S-32, Check out this thread, and especially the linked docs: https://gametechmods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1103

Hmm, I might be able to (Try) coding the AI myself by rewiring the S.O.W AI.

What I'm thinking of editing

Trovaner · « **Reply #13 on:** July 03, 2009, 07:19:44 AM »

I think I know a way of programming this without using any smartzones...

Edit: Feel free to make a SZ version because I won't have time to work on this until next week.
