Generation is currently rather intensive. After that, though, it's minimal.


Also, IdeTheBird, since for some reason I can't respond to your PM (it says you blocked me? lol), here is your answer: https://bitbucket.org/Greek2me/slayer/src/d2a9a9639360635f9031030cf56de754fd0848e6/server/core/Slayer_MiniGameSO.cs?at=dev&fileviewer=file-view-default#Slayer_MiniGameSO.cs-428

Wasn't there a mod that let you make lane markings and everything?

GameMode Maker v2
    You may remember this maker, but it is riddled with problems, and needs to expand. My plan is to have the ability to use Slayer

I like this plan! Please send me a message if you need help or documentation :)

Try this: Enable only Slayer. Disable all other add-ons. See if it still happens.

That log shows your game shutting down properly, not crashing.

In Script_Test2, simply require Script_Test1, along with the same things that Script_Test1 requires.

will they be able to handle doors or bricks without collision?

Not right now. There will definitely be a number of limitations upon release, including that one.

will bots be able to climb/navigate stairs?

That's what I'm working on right now. Currently they can only climb stairs that are 2x deep, not ones that are 1x. For example:

So do bots follow the lines?
Or do they just try to stay within the mesh itself?

The lines show the connections between nodes. Basically, I break down the space into walkable nodes, which are then linked. Here's a visualization of the nodes:

Modification Help / Re: Determine if brick is completely covered

« on: January 03, 2018, 01:34:33 PM »

This is what I ended up doing:

Code: [Select]

function FxDtsBrick::isCovered(%this)
{
%area = %this.getDatablock().topArea / 4;
%box = %this.getWorldBox();
%covered = 0;
%xLow = getWord(%box, 0);
%yLow = getWord(%box, 1);
%xHigh = getWord(%box, 3);
%yHigh = getWord(%box, 4);
for(%i = %this.getNumUpBricks() - 1; %i >= 0; %i --)
{
%b = %this.getUpBrick(%i).getWorldBox();
%overlapX = getMax(0, getMin(%xHigh, getWord(%b, 3)) - getMax(%xLow, getWord(%b, 0)));
%overlapY = getMax(0, getMin(%yHigh, getWord(%b, 4)) - getMax(%yLow, getWord(%b, 1)));
%covered += %overlapX * %overlapY;
}
return %covered >= %area;
}

Good idea but unfortunately this needs to work on dedicated servers without a client being involved.

Well said ^

The default game should include an "option" to download extra community content. Something like Steam Workshop.

Great progress on bot navigation! I rewrote the nav-mesh generation system. It now takes only ten seconds in pure Torquescript to generate a navigation mesh in my test build, ATC Fort.


Green lines show links. Node boundaries aren't shown, but you can basically see where they are.

Okay, not a major problem. It would just have made something more efficient.
