--- Quote from: Blockoman on July 19, 2009, 09:07:14 AM ---If these could work with horse bots (onbot touch- change datablock standard player), that would be great. --- End quote --- That is my idea behind all this! xD --- Quote from: Pliny the Younger on July 19, 2009, 09:16:28 AM ---/Agree Idea: Bots that would use these events could be spawned with their own type of small spawn brick. This would make it another Add-on, but could guarantee it's capability with the events, while Horse-bots could have problems with shooting, aiming, and sitting, along with some of the ideas I posted earlier. --- End quote --- Actually he means the bot you get when you do onbottouch-> ChangeDatablock-> standard player or something similar. --- Quote from: Pliny the Younger on July 19, 2009, 08:58:04 AM ---I actually think this would be a great idea, but the bots would have to be programmed to avoid walls, and follow courses (Botgoto <brickname>). It would also be useful for the bots to have "awareness zones", which would allow them to detect players/terrain, follow them more easily, attack players with accuracy/precision, and other stuff. Event Ideas: Botsay- Makes a bot say something. BotGoto- Already existent in Greekbots, this would allow bots to go to a certain brick or coordinate. BotCrouch/Botstand- BotCrouch would make a bot crouch until told by the "BotStand" event to stand up. --- End quote --- I forgot about botstand but Botgoto [brickname] is allready stated in my first post, as well as botcrouch ;) Also those awereness zones you talk about... Why not fire a raycast to let him check if something is between him and his target? Also usefull when shooting, but also with avoiding... Or am i acting stupid now? I mean, i don't have much knowledge about the scripting here in Torque and such :P Nevertheless i am glad to see that this idea is very wanted by some other people.. So keep thinking with us, and hopefully someone will see this and make it! :D |

how a bout an all direciton raycast, and if he gets too close to a wall, he moves away, while searching for the target. perfect for making maze-bots, can go thru mazes |

The Bots I had in v8 turned randomly to one side when they encountered a wall and attempted to find their target. It worked for very basic obstacles, but it required a lot of raycasts and processing with constant schedules... |

I didn't thought of the lagg of raycast, but the raycast isn't particulary needed i guess. If this gets made by someone, then you can set a whole path with the help of eventing bricks. My guess is that that would provide some AI that can be used for some nice servers. :D Thank you all for responding, keep this bumped and a hot topic, because i will be on vacation in 2 days (next thursday for me). I don't really know at the moment when i will be back, but keep it bumped and keep sending in suggestions for other botaction events. And of course keep discussing about it here! ^_^ |
