Pretty much all my opponent AI is driving backwards. I added a few components and now its just Drunk robot palooza. Any help with  how to fix this?


Thanks in advance  :bigsmile:

When you upgrade to DSL 3, all of the wheels get "reversed."  You'll have to fix each bot individually, or migrate the wheels over from an old copy.

a few thing you can look at

1: is it wired correctly?
2: if you're on the DSL3 beta, all the wheels go in the opposite direction for some reason.

also some more description would be nice.

EDIT: Dang ninjas!

Its DSL 2.1, I added the robots Tommy put up for download in the replica thread, and now it's messed up.

Did you wire it correctly? does it turn towards you when you approach it?

What do you mean by wiring correctly? It just drives backwards the entire time, it turns around immediately I think.

Hmmm... I think you may have set the turning of the motors weird. Try the verson of the bot you uploaded and try it in the test garage. Also, is it set to WASD? That might be a problem.

I always set them to WASD. And sometimes it inverts controls. Should I get a clean DSL Copy and just send my bots to it? I really have nothing saved I cant live w/o.

You can, but if it's what you said with inverted controls, try re-wiring "Forward" and try again.

Did you just add robots, or some new components too?  Because it's the wheel components that cause the reversal.

You'll need to get the DSL2.1 parts back, then.  Easiest way to do that is probably reinstalling DSL2.1.  Tommy's bots won't work then, but trying to use DSL3 bots in DSL2 is just a bad idea in general.  Get a separate game for DSL3 beta.
