There's also no radius as well.

Doesn't that just default to something if it's not included?

Anything wrong with it?

I'd say you need speech marks around the slogan, and have you got four spaces before the list.append thing?

I've done but slight problem, How do you turn the bot in the AI folder?

Scorpion · « **Reply #685 on:** October 22, 2011, 05:19:13 AM »

What are you saying?
How do you set the bot's starting direction?
How do you get the bot to turn in game??
How do you put the bot file into the AI folder???

How do you set the bot's starting direction is what I meant.

Fixing orientation

If you are lucky that your bot faces the same way as the bot you are replacing you are done here and your bot should start fighting with the AI of the bot you replaced. If you didn't make your bot facing the same way as the bot you are replacing you can you will need to edit the Bindings.py file to tell the game which way your bot should face.
To edit Bindings.py to correct facing of an AI bot go to the \Robot Arena 2\AI folder and back up the existing Bindings.py (This is very important. It is easy to induce typos in this file and the game is very unforgiving if you do.) Open up the Bindings.py with Notepad or your favorite text editor that does not change formatting (i.e. turn off Word Wrap). Go to the line of the bot you are replacing with your bot. In this example it would be the Maelstrom line in Team #0 Maelstrom does not have a 'nose' command because he is facing the default direction. Depending on the facing of your bot (Trial and error here, hard to describe how to tell which setting to use) you would add to the list.append line for the bot you are replacing (Maelstrom in this example) in the same style of many of the other bot lines in the Bindings.py (Note: Position between the {} is your choice but try to do similar to other lines: 'nose':math.pi/2, or 'nose':math.pi, or 'nose':-math.pi/2, If you built your bot on an oblique angle there are more exotic settings to adjust for that, but that is a more advanced tutorial about radians. Basically many computer physics models do not use Degrees, they use Radians where 0 (or PI*2) Radians = 0 (360) Degrees, PI/2 Radians = 90 Degrees, PI Radians = 180 Degrees, PI*3/2 (or -PI/2) Radians = 270 Degrees Save your changes to Bindings.py and if you didn't induce any typos your bot should now start facing the right direction as an AI. If not, you did make the backup of Bindings.py, didn't you? If you need to adjust the nose command again or start over copy the backed up Bindings.py to Bindings.py and try again or edit the one you have been adjusting. This is a good way to get your Bot AIed by using an existing AI line and get it inserted in a pack for testing.

It's easy enough to look on the wiki you know.

Still don't get it.

where is your bot's forward heading set at?

NFX · « **Reply #691 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:02:08 PM »

In the Bindings.py line for your robot, there is a bit that says something like 'nose=math.pi'. That's the angle that determines where the front, or "nose" of your robot points at the start of a match. It's measured in radians, which is where pi comes into it. 360 degrees is equal to pi*2 radians, therefore pi would equal 180 degrees, so it would be facing backwards. If your robot faces sideways, then you would either put math.pi/2 or math.pi*3/2 as the nose value. Any angle can be expressed as a multiple of pi in this fashion, you just need to work out what that multiple is, and you should be able to get your robot pointed in the right direction, both metaphorically and literally.

Hope this helps. =)

Yay! I know to AI in a basic way now!
Someone give me a cheap clap so I can feel special

Also

Beat Munity 2 with my bot AI'ed.

Any thoughts on this?

I like the bot.

Good job. Solid bot, and that's a decent victory to get under AI'd conditions.

Remaking my MW VS with having a small ramming rack, more irons and better wedges.

The problem? The snapper 2 can fit in one side but can not in the other

Why?

If you can't see the AP on the overview mode, then the anchor's not sticking out enough.

Trying to copy Geices first bot but with maces, a supervolt and an interesting name: Sydenham Train Wreck.

But need help to snapper load.

Help?
