Getting a hostile bot to spawn, obviously I'm doing something wrong

[TheBlackParrot]

Code: [Select]

%player = new AIPlayer()
{

	dataBlock = "ZombieHoleBot";
	position = %col.getPosition();

};

I'm trying to get a hostile bot to spawn, and this is probably the closest I've got using the default Bot addon. It's just spawning a regular immobile player object, yet it's "enabled". Is there a better way to do this?

I've been trying to make them spawn at player spawns for a project of mine, and they work but I can't get them to shoot anything.

It's easiest to look at fxDtsBrick::spawnHoleBot and copy that. It's in Bot_Hole/holes.cs.

[TheBlackParrot]

They're spawning now, but they seem to be deleted immidiately.

Code: [Select]

					%player = new AIPlayer()
					{
						dataBlock = ZombieHoleBot;
						path = "";
						spawnBrick = %col;
						position = %col.getPosition();
								
						//Apply attributes to Bot
						Name = ZombieHoleBot.hName;
						hType = ZombieHoleBot.hType;
						hSearchRadius = ZombieHoleBot.hSearchRadius;
						hSearch = ZombieHoleBot.hSearch;
						hSight = ZombieHoleBot.hSight;
						hWander = ZombieHoleBot.hWander;
						hGridWander = ZombieHoleBot.hGridWander;
						hReturnToSpawn = ZombieHoleBot.hReturnToSpawn;
						hSpawnDist = ZombieHoleBot.hSpawnDist;
						hMelee = ZombieHoleBot.hMelee;
						hAttackDamage = ZombieHoleBot.hAttackDamage;
						hSpazJump = ZombieHoleBot.hSpazJump;
						hSearchFOV = ZombieHoleBot.hSearchFOV;
						hFOVRadius = ZombieHoleBot.hFOVRadius;
						hTooCloseRange = ZombieHoleBot.hTooCloseRange;
						hAvoidCloseRange = ZombieHoleBot.hAvoidCloseRange;
						hShoot = ZombieHoleBot.hShoot;
						hMaxShootRange = ZombieHoleBot.hMaxShootRange;
						hStrafe = ZombieHoleBot.hStrafe;
						hAlertOtherBots = ZombieHoleBot.hAlertOtherBots;
						hIdleAnimation = ZombieHoleBot.hIdleAnimation;
						hSpasticLook = ZombieHoleBot.hSpasticLook;
						hAvoidObstacles = ZombieHoleBot.hAvoidObstacles;
						hIdleLookAtOthers = ZombieHoleBot.hIdleLookAtOthers;
						hIdleSpam = ZombieHoleBot.hIdleSpam;
						hAFKOmeter = ZombieHoleBot.hAFKOmeter + getRandom( 0, 2 );
						hHearing = ZombieHoleBot.hHearing;
						hIdle = ZombieHoleBot.hIdle;
						hSmoothWander = ZombieHoleBot.hSmoothWander;
						hEmote = ZombieHoleBot.hEmote;
						hSuperStacker = ZombieHoleBot.hSuperStacker;
						hNeutralAttackChance = ZombieHoleBot.hNeutralAttackChance;
						hFOVRange = ZombieHoleBot.hFOVRange;
						hMoveSlowdown = ZombieHoleBot.hMoveSlowdown;
						hMaxMoveSpeed = 1.0;
						hActivateDirection = ZombieHoleBot.hActivateDirection;
						
						isHoleBot = 1;
					};

					echo(%player);

EDIT: I think it's because I'm deleting the block it spawns from right after the bot spawns?

EDIT 2: Yep, line 479 of holes.cs

Code: [Select]

	//if we somehow got here and you or your spawnbrick doesn't exist anymore, then poof
	if( !isObject(%obj.spawnBrick) ) // isObject(%obj) && 
	{
		%obj.delete();
		return;
	}

ugh.

[Greek2me]

Yes they need to have a spawn brick defined. It is checked for every intelligence tick, and if it's not found the bot will be deleted.

Edit: oh I see your edit. Let me know if you fix the problem where they don't attack.

[TheBlackParrot]

Code: [Select]

					%spawnBrick = new fxDTSBrick()
					{

						client = $Mining::Host;
						dataBlock = "brick4xCubeData";
						position = "0 0 -100";
						rotation = "0 0 0 0";
						colorID = 0;
						scale = "1 1 1";
						angleID = 0;
						colorfxID = 0;
						shapefxID = 0;
						isPlanted = 1;
						stackBL_ID = $Mining::Host.bl_id;
						isBotHole = 1;

					};

					%spawnBrick.plant();
					%spawnBrick.setTrusted(1);

					$Mining::Host.brickgroup.add(%spawnBrick);

					%player = new AIPlayer()
					{
						dataBlock = ZombieHoleBot;
						path = "";
						spawnBrick = %spawnBrick;
						position = %col.getPosition();

Even after this, it's still being deleted. %spawnBrick does exist.

[Greek2me]

It takes a second for bricks to be registered, so you'll have to put a schedule of 0ms on the bot creation.

[TheBlackParrot]

Code: [Select]

					%spawnBrick = new fxDTSBrick()
					{

						client = $Mining::Host;
						dataBlock = "BrickZombie_HoleSpawnData";
						position = "0 0 -100";
						rotation = "0 0 0 0";
						colorID = 0;
						scale = "1 1 1";
						angleID = 0;
						colorfxID = 0;
						shapefxID = 0;
						isPlanted = 1;
						stackBL_ID = $Mining::Host.bl_id;
						isBotHole = 1;

					};

					%spawnBrick.plant();
					%spawnBrick.setTrusted(1);

					$Mining::Host.brickgroup.add(%spawnBrick);

					echo(%spawnBrick);

					%colPos = %col.getPosition();
					schedule(33,0,miningSpawnBot,%spawnBrick,%colPos);

asusming I'm doing something completely wrong because they're still being deleted :x

[TheBlackParrot]

I figured out that this

Code: [Select]

	if( %spawnBrick.itemPosition != 1 && !hBrickClientCheck( %brickGroup ) )
	{
		//%pos = %obj.spawnBrick.getPosition();
		//%pos = vectoradd(%pos,"0 0 0.15");
		//%rot = getwords(%obj.spawnBrick.getTransform(),3,6);
		// other options delete the bot until user comes back? ##
		//%obj.setTransform(%pos SPC %rot);

		//%obj.stopHoleLoop();
		%obj.delete();
		echo("it's calling this!");
		echo(%brickgroup);
		//%obj.hSched = %obj.scheduleNoQuota(%tickrate+getrandom(0,750),hLoop);
		return;
	}

is what's causing them to be deleted. If I make hBrickClientCheck only return 1, they spawn and stay, but I can't appear to hurt them, nor do they appear to notice me.

EDIT: Fixed them not being able to hurt anyone. nvm that.

How?

[TheBlackParrot]

How?

$DefaultMinigame.BotDamage = 1;

or just $Minigame::BotDamage 1 in the gamemode file
