Frenzy.py (and THZ.py) Help

[Probably Rob]

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.

As in havok explosion of it just keeps firing?

[Probably Rob]

Nah, no havoks, but yes, keeps firing/swinging. That's what I meant by flying, hah.

[MassimoV]

Did you copy and paste a bindings line from another bot?

[MassimoV]

Same thing happen with THZ?

Repost:

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



    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?

ElectricHammer is the binding you want.


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.

Ah, cheers man!

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

I remember trying to AI Scrap's Diesector replica with Frenzy.py, it did not end well at all.

Okay guys, little old me has gotten rusty with adding bits to AI lines.

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.

[Probably Rob]

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.

[Probably Rob]

Apologies. It's because I seemed to accidentally deleted a closed bracket after the 'weapons'.
