Occasionally AI lines dont work for no reason whatsoever, even if they're copy and pasted. Like this one: list.append(("Derek","SZSpinner",{'nose':math.pi,'radius':0.1,'range':99,'topspeed':100,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':2.5,'weapons':(22,23,24,25)}))

Its stopping me working on Realism AI, after a while these AI lines suddenly start working for no reason which is slowing me down, although some never start working, whats wrong with my game?

Just recheck them all, you may have just left an extra space in or something if you're copy/pasting them.

Its not them all crashing, only newer ones, I had the same problem with another bot, I posted a thread and everyone was like "Wut?" Then a couple of hours later it started working for no reason at all.

If you send me the bot + Bindings and it works on my PC, its the game.

If not, its the bot.

Simples *squeak*

Most of my bots use Custom parts, and yes they do work, they've been tested in the botlab. Also, stop trying to get me to send you realism AI, let you make UI, etc. Its extremely annoying and It wont happen.

I am not trying to scam you into sending me the AI.

I am offering you some help that's all, jeez.

SZSpinner does not work, there is no reason to use it unless you can improve it or I manage to fix it.

Stagfish · « **Reply #7 on:** January 11, 2011, 10:35:12 AM »

Could you fix it? :D

Not unless I kick my ass and feel like finding a solution. For now, I probably have better things to do.

why do you need spinners to use SZ's ?

omni with range would work the same way..

<shameless plug> The updated EcoOmni.py in the (just released a couple hours ago) DSL BBEANS AI can use smart zones for spinners. Just put 'UseSpinZone':1 in Bindings. </shameless plug>

Most spinners are better off without a smart zone, but there are certain bots, mostly bouncy VS's, that can benefit from one.

I should try to learn how to AI sometime. From my minimal knowledge it looks like it would be eco.

Stagfish · « **Reply #12 on:** January 13, 2011, 01:18:16 AM »

Piss off sparkey, I'm not realeasing it to people who keep asking me, I'll release it when its finished.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 13, 2011, 01:20:28 AM »

I just don't see why you need to be so rude to kingmush

Naryar · « **Reply #14 on:** January 13, 2011, 01:21:33 AM »

Back on topic... I also reported sparkey for being yet again an idiot in technical support.

You said EcoOmni can use smartzones for spinners ? This is interesting, I'll check the code you used to do it.

Stagfish · « **Reply #15 on:** January 13, 2011, 01:24:03 AM »

So where would I place 'UseSpinZone':1 in the bindings?

Normally, between the brackets part of the line {}, where all the other similar commands are placed.

Order doesn't matter.

Stagfish · « **Reply #17 on:** January 13, 2011, 01:31:18 AM »

list.append(("Derek","EcoOmni",{'nose':math.pi,'UseSpinZone':1,'radius':0.1,'range':99,'topspeed':100,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':2.5,'weapons':(22,23,24,25)}))

Is this right?

Naryar · « **Reply #18 on:** January 13, 2011, 01:32:58 AM »

It LOOKS okay and doesn't have any obvious syntax error. Try it.

Stagfish · « **Reply #19 on:** January 13, 2011, 01:33:42 AM »

I'll download BBEANS AI first to get the EcoOmni.
