Fixing This Arena A Bit...

[Badnik96]

Yeah, this would be a nice addition to the arena compilation (That I dunno if GK even remembers)

[G.K.]

Despite people talkiing to me in the thread recently and RR even PM'ing me about it. I might have to give up on uploading anything due to bandwidth issues. Nionetheless, I'll still do everything I can.

[Vertigo]

There are only 4 lines 

But yeah, I added it underneath and it still doesn't work

I don't need the #fence bit do I?

Anyone?

[JoeBlo]

There is 8 POV's IIRC

I don't need the #fence bit do I?

With python as soon as the python reaches a # symbol it will ignore everything on that line after it..

its only for your own personal notes and can be put anywhere you feel like..

not necessary

[Vertigo]

I can only find this:

        #box off spinner
        self.AddCollisionLine((2, 2), (2, -2))
        self.AddCollisionLine((2, -2), (-2, -2))
        self.AddCollisionLine((-2, -2), (-2, 2))
        self.AddCollisionLine((-2, 2), (2, 2))
        #fence
        self.AddCollisionLine((-10, 12), (10, 12))
        self.AddCollisionLine((10, 12), (12, 10))
        self.AddCollisionLine((12, 10), (12, -10))
        self.AddCollisionLine((12, -10), (10, -12))
        self.AddCollisionLine((10, -12), (-10, -12))
        self.AddCollisionLine((-10, -12), (-12, -10))
        self.AddCollisionLine((-12, -10), (-12, 10))
        self.AddCollisionLine((-12, 10), (-10, 12))
        #spinner ai guide
        self.AddPOV(0, (5, 5), (0, 1))
        self.AddPOV(1, (5, -5), (1, 2))
        self.AddPOV(2, (-5, -5), (2, 3))
        self.AddPOV(3, (-5, 5), (3, 0))

[JoeBlo]

Have you messed about with the python before? mine looks like this..

Code: [Select]

#box off spinner
        self.AddCollisionLine((2, 2), (2, -2))
        self.AddCollisionLine((2, -2), (-2, -2))
        self.AddCollisionLine((-2, -2), (-2, 2))
        self.AddCollisionLine((-2, 2), (2, 2))
        #fence
        self.AddCollisionLine((-10, 12), (10, 12))
        self.AddCollisionLine((10, 12), (12, 10))
        self.AddCollisionLine((12, 10), (12, -10))
        self.AddCollisionLine((12, -10), (10, -12))
        self.AddCollisionLine((10, -12), (-10, -12))
        self.AddCollisionLine((-10, -12), (-12, -10))
        self.AddCollisionLine((-12, -10), (-12, 10))
        self.AddCollisionLine((-12, 10), (-10, 12))
        #spinner ai guide
        self.AddPOV(0, (5, 5), (0, 1))
        self.AddPOV(1, (5, -5), (1, 2))
        self.AddPOV(2, (-5, -5), (2, 3))
        self.AddPOV(3, (-5, 5), (3, 0))

        self.AddPOV(0, (5, 5), (0, 3))
        self.AddPOV(1, (5, -5), (1, 0))
        self.AddPOV(2, (-5, -5), (2, 1))
        self.AddPOV(3, (-5, 5), (3, 2))

[Vertigo]

Nope, I'll try that instead

[Vertigo]

Just tried it, still doesn't work

[G.K.]

Did you adapt the co-ordinates for the map?

[Vertigo]

No, but I imagine the co-ordinates would be about the same, as the arena is a similar size

[Trovaner]

A while back, I fixed that arena so that it didn't cause any errors (IIRC there were two problems). As for the AI issues, I've been meaning to fix them but never got around to it. You may need to include both POVs (to prevent the AI from following their opponent over the edge) and collision lines (to get the AI to stay away from the edge). They formatting looks like this:

Code: [Select]

#self.AddCollisionLine(XZ-StartingLocations,XZ-EndingLocation) - the line between the two points acts as an "obstacle" to the AI that they will try not to cross.
#self.AddPOV(POV_ID,X-Coordinate,Z-Coordinate,POV_ID) - the first value represents the ID of this POV, the second and third values determine the location of this POV, and the fourth value is the ID number of the POV that this POV connects to.  Basically you string them together with that second ID to make a path that the AI will follow to get around obstacles.

I'm just using the DSL 2.1 Onslaught Arena now, due to difficulty of AI coding for circular arenas (according to JoeBlo)

I've put this into the py file:

Have you messed about with the python before? mine looks like this..

Code: [Select]

#box off spinner
        self.AddCollisionLine((2, 2), (2, -2))
        self.AddCollisionLine((2, -2), (-2, -2))
        self.AddCollisionLine((-2, -2), (-2, 2))
        self.AddCollisionLine((-2, 2), (2, 2))
        #fence
        self.AddCollisionLine((-10, 12), (10, 12))
        self.AddCollisionLine((10, 12), (12, 10))
        self.AddCollisionLine((12, 10), (12, -10))
        self.AddCollisionLine((12, -10), (10, -12))
        self.AddCollisionLine((10, -12), (-10, -12))
        self.AddCollisionLine((-10, -12), (-12, -10))
        self.AddCollisionLine((-12, -10), (-12, 10))
        self.AddCollisionLine((-12, 10), (-10, 12))
        #spinner ai guide
        self.AddPOV(0, (5, 5), (0, 1))
        self.AddPOV(1, (5, -5), (1, 2))
        self.AddPOV(2, (-5, -5), (2, 3))
        self.AddPOV(3, (-5, 5), (3, 0))

        self.AddPOV(0, (5, 5), (0, 3))
        self.AddPOV(1, (5, -5), (1, 0))
        self.AddPOV(2, (-5, -5), (2, 1))
        self.AddPOV(3, (-5, 5), (3, 2))

Isn't this all that I need?
