Title: Frenzy.py (and THZ.py) Help
Post by: Probably Rob on May 20, 2013, 06:16:03 PM: After trying to do a Frenzy.py AI'd robot for the first time, it seems to fly around randomly.

The robot has an axe, on a motor, and I've done 'whipzone' along with 'Hammer', yet in-game when you drive slightly up to it, it decides to fly around without stopping.

Can I possibly have any help, in trying to make it work correctly?

Thank you.

Should mention that I'm doing this in DSL 3.

(http://i.imgur.com/7zavJOe.png)

list.append( ("[name]", "Frenzy", { 'nose' : math.pi, 'radius' : 1.4, 'topspeed' : 12.0, 'throttle' : 120, 'turn' : 20, 'turnspeed' : 1.0, 'weapons' : (15, 39) }) )

Update:

After some testing, THZ seems to work when it's AI vs AI, but still flies (firing, not havoking) when self-righting.

Is it because it's specifically made for something, like a Hammer motor, and that Overkill motor?

Bots AI'd with THz and FrenZy use a special motor that goes in a 180-arc, I don't recommend it, it comes with quite a lot of havok issues.

Oh, Jesus, don't I know it! The amount of recording issues I have with freakin' Terrorhurtz, hah.

This probably concerns the same bot :P

Code: [Select]
list.append(("[name]","ElectricHammer",{'SwingTime':4,'nose':math.pi','StartAngle':math.pi,'NoChassisTime':4,'range':99,'radius':0.1,'topspeed':100,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':3,'weapons':(18,19)}))
4 spaces, blargh blargh, definitely the AI line because I #'d it and the game worked fine like that. Just want to get it fixed before the tweaking occurs to maximise performance.

Post by: Probably Rob on May 22, 2013, 10:47:36 AM: I spaced them correctly for DSL 3; it crashes the game.

Nah, that shouldn't be the problem, I've got other bots in DSL3 that I've AI'd with a similar spacing and they're fine. Though it might just be one comma in the wrong place or something silly like that I haven't picked up on. Normally is.

Post by: Probably Rob on May 22, 2013, 11:45:42 AM: Apologies. It's because I seemed to accidentally deleted a closed bracket after the 'weapons'. :gawe:
