Bot Damage

[cucumberdude]

I'm working with AI Players and I want to allow bots weapon's (mountImage + setimagetrigger) to damage players exactly as the normal weapons would.

However, this isn't working. I THINK this may have to do with minigames, but I'm not really sure.

Is there a way to add bots to a minigame? Or do I need to repackage some sort of projectile collision to make it work with bots?

I'm sure this has been addressed before, but search yielded no conclusive results - but feel free to point me in the right direction if you know of a thread!

I can't access it at the moment but...
try looking through the Bot Events coding if you have not already done that.

[cucumberdude]

Took a look at the code, couldn't find the section pertaining to damage/weapons.

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

[cucumberdude]

Also; another bot question.

I'm using armor::onDisabled() to detect bot death.
Any way I could get the killer?

I saw this in Amade's code, but I don't really understand it...

Code: [Select]

if(isObject(%client = %obj.lastPusher) && (%obj.lastPushTime + 1000) > getSimTime())

TRIPLE TOAST

Ok. So, I've got some things cleared up and some things far from cleared up.

I solved all my damage problems using AIConnection and adding the fake client to my minigame. Yay!

However, this now causes a spam of error messages whenever a bot dies.

I also found a workaround for the armor::onDisabled problem.

So my question now is, how do I fix the error messages?

WAIT I JUST HAD AN IDEA
Now that my bots have clients, I can use GameConnection::onDeath to get the killer, right? :D

The bot events mod does ALL this for you already.

why re-invent the wheel?

That's a joke, right?

First off, maybe I'm designing this mod for the process, not the product. Stupidly downloading add-ons will not improve my ability to code. Secondly, the bot mod does NOT by any stretch do all the things I want to do. Agreed, the problems in this thread are solved with it - but obviously I have some sort of plan for using these non-glitchy bots.

This is coding help. If you don't want to help me code, don't post.

I'm not sure if I know what you're talking about, but...
>start a minigame
>include all players' bricks
>enable weapon damage
That should do it.

It's not a very nice wheel.

More to the point, with bots it is important that you have your own goddamned wheel.

No.

You shouldn't need to add it to the minigame, just set the %bot.client.minigame = %minigame;

[cucumberdude]

Uh yeah that's what I'm doing.

Maybe I'm confused about what "adding to the minigame" means.

Anyways, still got a problem:

a spam of error messages whenever a bot dies.

So my question now is, how do I fix the error messages?

[Destiny/Zack0Wack0]

This should be enough for it to work:

Code: [Select]

%bot = new AiPlayer()
{
dataBlock = PlayerStandardArmor;
};
%bot.client = new AiConnection()
{
player = %bot;
minigame = %minigame;
};


[cucumberdude]

yep, that's what im doing

i still get error mesages
