Arena

[G.K.]

I've been making an arena for S_M's tournament out of the Low Lag arena. The gmf is fine, but I've been trying to add a zone for robots to be out if they are OOTA'd in the .py. The only problem is, i don't know how. Help would be appreciated.

Also, S_M wants to skin it, but because i have no idea how to skin something that doesn't have a bmp/tga, I am stuck. He wants the floor to be #4EEE94, and the walls to alternate between #8B0000 and #FF3300. If he can only have one colour, he would like #4EEE94.

Here's the gmf: http://pastebin.ca/1756362

G.K., you don't need to make a big SZ (which is a possibility), but rather do it in the py.

If OOTA-ed bot is/falls lower than floor, just get (y) location and then 'eliminate' bot.

Code: [Select]

    def __init__(self):
        self.players = ()
 
    def Activate(self, on):
        if on:  self.players = plus.getPlayers()       
        Arenas.SuperArena.Activate(self, on)
 
   def Tick(self):
      for each in self.players:
         if plus.getLocation(each)[1] < -6: # Adjust this parameter to floor height(s).
            plus.eliminatePlayer(each)


or if the floor is the same height inside and out, then use x and z to find outside the arena:
 

Code: [Select]

    def __init__(self):
        self.players = ()
 
    def Activate(self, on):
        if on:  self.players = plus.getPlayers()       
        Arenas.SuperArena.Activate(self, on)
 
   def Tick(self):
      for each in self.players:
          if plus.getLocation(each)[0] > abs(12)  or   plus.getLocation(each)[2] > abs(12)  # Adjust this parameter to arena size.
            plus.eliminatePlayer(each)

 

[G.K.]

Thnaks Mad. Do you know what I can do about the second point?

[JoeBlo]

find

Code: [Select]

*MATERIAL_AMBIENT    0x8aff00
        *MATERIAL_DIFFUSE    0x8aff00
        *MATERIAL_SPECULAR    0xe5e5e5
for each object (the whole arena might be only 1 object though) and add in the Hex Colors you want,

[G.K.]

Thanks Joe.

In that case the Chinese Whispers may be ready to go as soon as SM gets back from his school.

[G.K.]

Hehe.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

and providing S_M finishes off clarifying particular rules 

What rules may I ask?

[G.K.]

Hey, SM, get on Hamachi. I'll post my ideas for the rules there.

Guys, major problem. I start up the arena and find that it crashes the game. I can see the arena itself fine, so I presume the error's in the .py rather than the gmf. Here it is:

[G.K.]

It is still crashing even with that. At least it was on the list this time.

[Madiaba]

Yes, that would keep it from loading.  I'll have time to look at it first hand later today, unless someone else helps you out first. 
In the mean time, if you want to send me all of the arena, I'll look over the rest too...(PM is fine).

[Squirrel_Monkey]

4th line from bottom looks wrong, is it?

[Madiaba]

Thanks S_M, but that's ok.

But as I looked I saw a second issue:  No 'return' for 'Tick'.
Check 'file addresses' too.
Note: If you send the whole arena it'll be a lot easier to debug.
Try this:

[G.K.]

Thanks Mad, the arena works now. However, the immobilization zone eliminates ione of the bots as soon as the match starts. Is is already on the y axis?

[Madiaba]

Yep,... now adjust as necessary.
Look in the gmf, or just start with -10 and go up from there, till you find the right working height.
 
----------------------------------

Edit: This is not right:
 if plus.getLocation(each)[-2] < -6: # Adjust this parameter to floor height(s).
 
This bracket designates which specific axis (x, y, or z) to find. 
x=[0]
y=[1]
z=[2]
 
Never seen -2 there, surprised it runs like that....
So you want:
   if plus.getLocation(each)[1] < -6: # Adjust this parameter to floor height(s).
 
--------
 
The '-6' is the number that will set the height of elimination, so adjust it:
   if plus.getLocation(each)[1] < -6: # Adjust this parameter to floor height(s).
