Bot Events II

[Evar678]

Don't half-ass it or cut corners

We won't.



Lug, good news. I showed elm how to use smartgit.

And also, elm updated the server.cs with spawning, so i can start work on basic vce stuff.

It has to be packaged, I believe. And I'm making a new function to check if the vehicle is an aiPlayer

Code: [Select]

function Vehicle::getBotHealth(%this)
{
if((isObject(%this) && %this.getClassName() $= "aiPlayer") && isObject(%this.client))
{
return %this.getDatablock().maxDamage - %this.getDamageLevel();
}
else
return;
}
package botVce
{
function VCE_initServer()
{
Parent::VCE_initServer();
registerSpecialVar(Vehicle,"health","%this.getBotHealth");
}
};
activatepackage(botVce);


Should I just give it all the values of a regular player?

Generally yes, since the 'standard bot' should handle just like a normal player. You should ensure it works with other custom AI's though too.

nevermind i think i got it

Can you do magic to make it possible to drag bots behind you? Mounting to some mystery node and making the bot's dead body follow you around in a dragging fashion?

a dead body is meant to disappear not follow something

[Mold]

idk but since a bot is basically a player it should already have all normal player vce vars

[aludane]

Could you make string boxes use variable replacers?

Code: [Select]

   
if(isPackage("VCE_Main"))
{
%Secondstring = filterVariableString(%Stringfromeventbox,$inputTarget_Self,%client,%client.player);

if(%Secondstring !$= %Stringfromeventbox)
      {
       %Stringfromeventbox = %Secondstring;
      }
}

[Mr.Noßody]

Why do I have the horrible feeling that the re-make of the Bot Events is going to have more options, but have way less user friendliness like another remake I know of?

If you guys build this like VCE, I'm gonna have to kill somebody.

An example of truely abusable would be the crashing servers with 2 lines of events.

VCE can do this.

[Evar678]

It will be as user friendly as we can possibly make it.

Ex. Drop down menu for a node list in events dialog, instead of having to type it in.

drop down menu bad idea.
the field allowed you to enter multiple nodes to change at once.

i think first you shouldn't worry about it being user friendly, just make it functional seeing as now bot events is a crap-on
