Author Topic: Bots face wrong Direction! (Read 1229 times)

I've Tried to AI two LW Bots With the Spinner AI For My AI pack, the first is a HS Called Alpha 2, the Second a VS Called Beta. When I run them, they face the wrong way. I've treid To fix it by changing the Direction in the workshop, but that does not work. Any help?

I had the same problem, until I learned the nose function. Hard to explain, but it lets you set the "nose" of the bot.

Nose?

Give me some time to make a screen shot, I'm at school at the moment, and I will get an image up when get home.

you need to change their direction in the AI bindings.py - changing it in the workshop doesn't effect it's orientation:

Code: [Select]

[font=courier]   list.append((&quot;M.O.E.&quot;,&quot;DirectionalSpinner&quot;,{'invertible':True,[COLOR=Red]'nose':math.pi[/COLOR],'range':99,'radius':.5,'turn':30,'turnspeed':2.5,'weapons':(12,13,25,26,27,28,29,30)}))[/font]

here, i am using the example of DSL M.O.E. The specific code to orientate M.O.E. 180° is in red.
For more guidance on this, read the section from Starcore's AI tutorial:

And it's in radians, so:
0 degrees - 0 radians
90 degrees - pi/2 radians
180 degrees - pi radians
270 degrees - 3pi/2 radians
360 degrees - 2pi radians

Here's an easy paradigm (post #54): https://gametechmods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1103&page=2

Paste it at the top of your Bindings.py, for a reference.

You must label the command "spin"

Lurk.

I did, that's the problem. Perhaps it's just The "Spinner" AI.
