I have an AIing problem too (and yes Mad, I would like to solve it myself)

you need to change the direction in the AI line. theres instructions on how to do that in starcores guide to AIing. if it's not moving, make sure all your controls are named correctly and are in the right spot. remember, the drive has to be in the first two slots.

I don't think thats true, Sage. A lot of bots in starcore aren't like that. (still can't figure out why my ai don't move though!!:angry:)

SD, I have some time to look at your AI folder, now.
What is the problem exactly?

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #24 on:** February 04, 2009, 08:54:04 AM »

the ai is back down to 3 not 6

Madiaba · « **Reply #25 on:** February 04, 2009, 10:16:42 AM »

Are the slots there, but no 4,5,6 bots?
Or no slots for these 3 bots?
Did you alter the UI folder at all? i.e.:"selectbot_computer.gib"

Actually just try me later today on MSN.

Yes, I just remembered that the controls weren't named. But what do I delete, the math.pi part, or what.

Noses (based on the forward heading arrow in the bot lab):

......0 (=pi*2)
........|
pi/2--|----pi*1.5
........|
........pi

If your bot's nose is pi right now, and it's facing to the left, then it should be pi*1.5. I think.

The nose is 'nose' :math.pi/2

And it faces to its left.

Which way is which with the math.pis.

Here, SB, is a more complete picture: Chart (scroll down)

The thing that makes AI teams 6 bots instead of 3 is the 'selectbot_computer.gib'. If you're AI teams are back down to 3 just get the new GIB that is in the Starcore AI packs. Moral: Don't mess with the 'selectbot_computer.gib' or you're teams might be 3 bots again.

Thanks to Madiaba for all the help.

Okay, I have another AI problem. This is with one of my AWs. He is a rammer who needs to self-right himself. Here is how it should have worked:

1. Bot gets flipped.
2. Bot turns wheels forward.
3. Eventually hits wall.
4. Flips over.

Now, the issue is that my "Srimech" button in the wiring section is a button that I need to be "held down" by the AI to turn the wheels forward. The issue is that the AI doesn't hold it down, and presses it sporadically, thus not allowing it to hit a wall and flip over.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :|

Sage · « **Reply #33 on:** February 23, 2009, 08:15:22 PM »

you could put 'invertible:true' and hope it runs into a wall XP

but the srimech doesnt work like that i dont think.

Urjak · « **Reply #34 on:** February 23, 2009, 08:17:47 PM »

Unfourtunatley I can't, because if Invertible is true, he will try to go after the opponet, and not the wall.

Sage · « **Reply #35 on:** February 23, 2009, 08:21:01 PM »

but if its a rammer thats what you want...

Urjak · « **Reply #36 on:** February 23, 2009, 08:23:16 PM »

No, you see it is not fully invertable. It can only sort of move upsidedown.

Urjak · « **Reply #37 on:** February 23, 2009, 08:34:15 PM »

Scratch this, I found a very obvious solution.... increase wheel size. :| Sorry for wasting your time Sage.

Okay, for the sake on not creating a new thread, here is my dilema:

Flail Sheck Spinner have this annoying way of spiraling around the arena. If it is human controlled, you can control the spiraling to attack the opponent. The issue is that when AIed, it can't move porperly at all. Thus, even though I want to AI some of my Sheck Spinners for Naryar's DSL AI pack, I cannot.

There may be something obvious that I am missing, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

PM me the bot, Urj, so I can understand a bit better what's what.
