Advanced bot mod

[rkynick]

Im making an advanced bot mod derived from Space Guys bots, and I need suggestions for commands. ALL of this will be released for my holiday modding event.
So far it has:
-power to have unlimited bots per person
-mount any weapons/items(cept des wand)
-follow and attack players of your choice
-make a bot face you
-make a bot fire in the direction its facing at a preset speed
-rename a bot on the fly
-give a bot a line to say on /selectobject
-change the line on the fly
-add a bot to the minigame your in(IE add a bot shooting a gun the direction its facing to your challenge minigame)


As long as space guy will let me, I plan to continue this mod and release it.
Any objection from him and I will stop immediatly, however.

So, suggestions?

Cloths selection , patroling , and enable driving in cars possibly working with the patrol only .

[rkynick]

I plan to do some clothing, and I plan to try to incoperate patrolling into it.

[jungemann]

it would be really cool if you could make them go and attack other people except you.

[rkynick]

You can.

Does patrol work after they are put in a car? because they (sort-of) drive now. That could be Epic

[rkynick]

k added the following:
GUI
patrolling bots
ability to choose what your bot looks like(EVERYTHING, not just colors)
dunno about the driving, but the patrol should work after they are put in a car, but their handling wouldnt be the best.
each bot can have unlimited patrols.
also fixed various bugs and added a sentry command, if your bot has sentry enabled, it will attack anything that gets in front of it.

bump for great justice: added ability to make a respawn for your bots.
When they die they will renew at the respawn and automaticly start patrolling or sentrying.

-power to have unlimited bots per person

Sounds like lag. 20 bots shooting rockets?

I don't mind you making this.

If you are directly basing this off my code, please follow the terms of the SpaceMods License when it is released. (In short: Give credit in the way it says, put the mod under the same license, open source the code (not a problem since it's a CS file anyway, not a DSO))

To make unlimited bots use arrays.

Code: [Select]

%client.botCount++;
%client.bot[%client.botCount] = %bot;

[Space Guy]

I know how to do that, rky says it's already there. (Features it has: unlimited bots per person)

I'm just worried about lag issues.

Use a controller object for the schedules and a loop through a large array. Even though it could be going every 10-100ms, it is a lot less laggy than one schedule per object.

I was talking to Ryk Space I know you know how =D
