Author Topic: Bot RTS mod  (Read 3144 times)



I've been thinking it'd be fun to have a RTS mod for Blockland. Then, while some of my friends and I were screwing around with Amades bot events, I thought it would be even more awsomesauce if it used bots. I have a big list of ideas for it, too. For instance: A special bot brick that only can spawn bots, and the color of the spawn indicates the team. The bots chest and arms would become the color of the spawn, Or you could use the bot events to set there appearance. To command the bots, I was thinking about there being a item, sort of like the laser pointer, but when you drag it, it would make a circle. All of your bots in the circle would be able to be commanded, with another item to have them move somewhere. Or, it could be one item with two functions.

The bots would be something like:
SMG bot
Sniper bot
Shotgun bot
Rocket bot
(Maybe) Driver bot?
(Maybe) Minigun/Heavy bot?

The driver bot would drive vehicles, or use turrets to defend places, I'm pretty sure the driving part is nearly impossible though. Spawning bots would cost something, like bricks, or money. Each one would cost a different amount.

I was thinking, that, if possible, there could also be a resource addition to it, with a set of bots, like, Miner bot, Harvester bot, and such.

Maybe even a alliance GUI or something.

I'm out of ideas for now, I might update this if I think of something.


Or play an RTS.

Yeah...

You can already do this with Amade bots, except driving I think.

I actually turned heeds cannon into an Auto-turret. Using events.

Driving is not possible with any mod yet..
I got told that that is too hard..

Make the bots spawn with variables instantly set to them.
then on activate, you can click the mine and he will walk towards the mine (setmovement)

and when he gets to the mine, gold is added +10 and a brown pack is spawned onto his back.

when he gets to town, the "goldcount" goes up by 10 and his brown pack dissappears, repeat.

I can make a bot drive with defaults only.

Yeah...
But can you let him drive a specific course?  :cookieMonster:

Like on WoW where your about to throw a bomb or something and at your cursor it shows a radius? That would be awesome to have as an item anyways. Lol.

i like the idea of a real time stradegy mod.

you have a group of bots armed with little guns and you click to where they need to go.

Shotgun botUse with Bot events

(Maybe) Driver bot?70% Impossible
(Maybe) Minigun/Heavy bot?Made
We already made most of that.

Players set as bots for RTS is totally possible.

Did it, however the bot command events are really buggy, and only work 90% of the time. When I perfect it, I'll give it to you.

bump cant think of another commint :(
