I'm having a problem with Vertical Spinner AIs
« on: March 29, 2014, 07:54:23 AM »
I'm trying to make an AI of a vertical spinner robot I created, but when I add it, and use it in a battle, none of the robots move, and then a few seconds later, I get an error message, or at least the sound for it plays, but I never actually see the message.

It doesn't do this with any other AI, but when I try to start a battle with the Vert Spinner, then I have the problem...

What's wrong with it and what do I do to get it working?

If it helps, here's the binding for the robot:

Change VertSpinner to DirectionalSpinner.

It might not just be your bindings. can to screenshot your controllers?
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

Change VertSpinner to DirectionalSpinner.
I don't have a DirectionalSpinner py, so that wouldn't work... Unless you knew where I could get it?

You mean all of the individual controls, or just the controller itself? Well, I have posted the latter here:

It's embedded in the "Spinner" py.  Assuming you haven't done anything to that file, "DirectionalSpinner" will work.

Oh! It works now, thanks!

One last thing, though, I'm starting to have another problem now, I read in an AI type chart I got from this site about a type of AI called "OmniSpin", but I had no .py of that either, so I assumed it was one of those types that didn't need it's own .py file, but it wasn't, I assigned an AI to that type, and the game crashed when I tried to use it, how do I get it working? Do I actually need an "OmniSpin" py to use it?
