Robot Wars Series 8 - Signups

[Thyrus]

is there a way to enter another bot into koth? like some bots in RW entered only the pinball thing? If not I`ll enter with the bot I send for the main event

O might send a skinned version later

Erm no, You can't enter with 2 different bots...

[RammingSpeed]

Sent. Bit of a SFTW, but oh well.

[powerrave]

I still think I stand a good chance here. Might be wrong though.

[Thyrus]

then sign me up for koth

[Jonzu95]

Hmm... There are 2 issues with the Arena...

1. Bots are not afraid the pit, and usually push the opponent AND itself into pit...
2. Filming Rumbles will be hard, due to camera angle...

Is there any way to fix these? I'm not a modder at all y'know... =/

[Thyrus]

cam angle - f10 camera

[Mr. AS]

did you try increasing the radius a bit ?

Same reason bots throw themselves off the Tabletop. Because the opponent has not been "Eliminated" yet. If you raise the elimination zone, then it should class as eliminated as soon as it drops below the floor level of the arena.

[Jonzu95]

The Problem is that I know nothing about modding arenas, and I really don't think I could do something like that... I'm just a Builder & Tournament Host. ^^'

[NFX]

That's fair enough, I'm not that good at modding either. But that's just a problem inherent with the AI. There's not really a way you can get around it without doing something extremely complicated. Unless the radius thing works.

[Jonzu95]

How the Radius-thing works? You mean AI?

[Mr. AS]

yesh
and if that doesnt work try changing the 'if plus.getLocation(each)[1] <X:' in the rwarena's py. to 0 or some similar number if its too high/low

     def Tick(self):
        # check to see if anyone has been "eliminated" by falling off the tabletop
        for each in self.players:
            if plus.getLocation(each)[1] < -4: <--- this thing
                plus.eliminatePlayer(each)

[NFX]

Radius is basically how wide a berth the robot gives the hazards. 0.1 means it'll go quite close, about 2 means it'll keep its distance.

I changed 2 to 4, and now when you drive into pit, you don't even get eliminated... What I'm doing wrong? :S

[Mr. AS]

which number did you change

The one you quoted.

you probably set it too "low"... try setting it "higher" (-4 is lower... -2 is higher), try -1 and if that's too "high" (drugs joke xd)... set it "lower" (-1.5 or -1.75)... and keep messing with the number until you find a reasonable height

[Jonzu95]

-0 is close... Maybe +1?

[Mr. AS]

-0 is close... Maybe +1?

sure go ahead

probably wouldnt put the plus on there tho
