SM's DSL off-topic-case

[Gazea2]

Yeah, I noticed. Another epic find by Click.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Where?

[NFX]

He's not released it yet. If you asked him very nicely, maybe gave him some sugar water, he might let us have a peek at it. =P

[MassimoV]

I really like the entire concept of the bot. By lurking through showcases, during the end of building an UHW people tend to spam flames which I like.

[Clickbeetle]

I think it means:

Code: [Select]

Move
       # flame on depending on enemy's range
            enemy, flamerange = self.GetNearestEnemy()
           
            if enemy is not None and flamerange < self.flame_range:
                self.Input("Flame", 0, 130)
            elif self.GetInputStatus("Flame", 0) != 0:
                self.Input("Flame", 0, 0)
           
            targets = [x for x in self.sensors.itervalues() if x.contacts > 0 \
                and not plus.isDefeated(x.robot)]
^this from
    def Tick(self)
to
    def Activate(self, active)

Someone that is more experienced, correct me if I'm wrong.

It's even simpler than that.  All you do is put


self.Input("Flame", 0, 100)


(No need for a cheaty 130 input in this case)


right under def Activate.  You can even just throw it in Omni, like so:

Code: [Select]


    def Activate(self, active):
        # Activate flame control at the start of the match, leaving it alone in def Tick
        self.Input("Flame", 0, 100)
        if active:
            if AI.SuperAI.debugging:
                self.debug = Gooey.Plain("watch", 0, 75, 100, 75)
                tbox = self.debug.addText("line0", 0, 0, 100, 15)
                tbox.setText("Throttle")
                tbox = self.debug.addText("line1", 0, 15, 100, 15)
                tbox.setText("Turning")
                tbox = self.debug.addText("line2", 0, 30, 100, 15)
                tbox.setText("")
                tbox = self.debug.addText("line3", 0, 45, 100, 15)
                tbox.setText("")
           
            self.RegisterSmartZone(self.zone, 1)
           
        return AI.SuperAI.Activate(self, active)


The .py I made will be in NAR AI for all those with a python phobia, though it is really easy to do and can go in any .py.


Edit: Oh wait I'm taking S_M's showcase off topic again... must make comment on latest bot.


Why is that UHW a failbot?  Bad wedge?  Because it certainly looks dangerous enough to me with all those flamers and heavy plows.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

I haven't tested the wedge, mainly because my computer can't handle it in battle.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Ideas for bots plz.

[FOTEPX]

Ideas for bots plz.

LW/MW Bottom Spinner.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Done that already.

[G.K.]

MW Killalot Drill VS

[J24]

Pyramid Popup

[Squirrel_Monkey]

*Goes to make pyramid popup*

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Made a SHW Wedged SnS/Popup hybrid which I will showcase tommorrow.
Have a guess at what it is like.

[Naryar]

Have a guess at what it is like.

Fail bot ?

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Here it is:

Titanium 3 or something
Meant to spin and sweep under other wedges.
Works in concept but I need to tweak the idea, maybe using metal hinge wedges angled slightly forward.

[NFX]

I can kinda understand the concept, but I don't think it'll work in practice. I reckon the DSL bars will ride up the opponent's wedges before the Small Wedge components get a chance to sweep under them, and it might end up being gutripped fairly easily compared to a head-on attack. It was a good idea, but I don't think a SnS/Popup hybrid such as this one would work.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Well, I tested against DSL Snowjob and it worked. Now to test against wedged bots..
BTW, my lightweight version with metal hinge wedges outwedges Hredder 6.6 :P

[G.K.]

I got an idea about this concept. Will work on it.

[Naryar]

It won't work against any good wedge.

[NFX]

I now have an idea.
