A "Robot Safezone" and a new "Robot wars" mode?

[joo suck]

Maybe like a safezone (used for timing weapons in AIing) could be used for the whole robot to trigger it to move/attack/fight? I want this because it would be neat to have a three on three RW fight with the housebots. Maybe not actual RL housebots, but make your own and AI them? What I am looking for, to be spacific, is if someone (maybe me, since I'm learning to AI) could make a simple safezone that could trigger the whole bot in the corner. Maybe just pushers that push you torawds the pit?

Please excuese me if this is illedgeable, I feel like and ass-cake (I guess I can say that?) Because of my cold/flu or whatever...

THAT MEANS YOU SHOULD FEEL REMORSE FOR ME AND MAKE THIS REQUEST!! (pretty please...?)

I'm not entirely sure what all you mean but I'll see what I can do...

I've made a few different mods that could potentially allow me to AI bots on-the-fly. When a button is pressed, the bot would begin to automatically move around the arena performing several different tasks while the user fine tunes it. Its actually something that I've been planning to do for a while now but haven't gotten around to it.

It is possible to make an AI bot sit in a corner and wait for another bot to get close (Robot Wars style) but arenas are limited to 4 'standard' bots. It is possible to work around the 4 bot limit by making 'housebots' that are included in the Arena.gmf but they would not be the same as 'standard' bots. There has been talk of adding the 'housebots' to the RW Arena but I am not aware of anyone that is working on it ATM.

I don't think I'm understanding you fully so please try to explain it again.

Did not get it as well.

And seriously, enough of RW fanbois...

Are you saying that you could put smartzones that detect hazards?

[JoeBlo]

replace "safezone" with "smartzone"

my interpretation

he wants a python that would make a robot only move and attack if another is in the smart zone (except if being counted out one would assume) so you can make a house robot type effect.

So basically he wants a CPZ?

So basically he wants a CPZ?

As far as I know

[JoeBlo]

thats the general effect he is after as far as I can tell

Okay, I've been working on my ant, so I've been away from this section. Would you mind explaning to ma what a CFZ file is please? (I see them, but don't know what they are.)

EDIT: Nevermind, it's a CPZ, I know what that is. I cannot tyoe todau!!!

So are Corner Patrol Zones (CPZs) what you were thinking of in your first post? If so, it wouldn't be too difficult to do and/or teach.

Edit: Okay, I see that your edit answered my question...
