AIPlayer?

#1 "add a bot (which will attack you by default) with CTRL-B"

#2 I press CTRL-B (I didn't miss that) but nothing happen??

I'm using the HEAD version of torque, so may this be the problem??

coz when I press CTRL-B I have the following error on the consol:

serverCmdAddBot : Unknown command.

what do you think ?

#3 Guys about the problem above I try the following :

go toconsol and type:

$mybot02=AIPlayer::spawnPlayer("abc");

I have a new bot but it's not moveing or attaking it's just stand and here is my function:


function AIPlayer::spawnPlayer(%name)
{
// An example function which creates a new AIPlayer object
// using the the example player datablock.
%player = new AIPlayer() {
dataBlock = PlayerBody;
aiPlayer = true;
};
MissionCleanup.add(%player);

// Player setup
%player.setMoveSpeed(1);
%player.setTransform(pickSpawnPoint());
%player.setEnergyLevel(60);
%player.setShapeName(%name);

%player.incInventory(Crossbow, 1);
%player.incInventory(CrossbowAmmo, CrossbowAmmo.maxInventory);
%player.use(Crossbow);
//for attach
%player.setAttackTargetObject(%client.player)
return %player;
}

so what is the problem?

#4 %player.setAttackTargetObject(%client.player)


That's your problem. %client.player can't just pop out of thin air.

#5 Actually iit dose work mine works like this i use that resource in my curent project like

pUT in server/scripts/comand.cs

$botCounter = 0;
function serverCmdAddBot(%client) {
         MissionCleanup.add($bots);
	 %npcName = "Bot" @ $botCounter;
         $bots[$botCounter] = AISpider::aiSpawnSpider(%npcName);
         MissionCleanup.add($bots[$botCounter]);

	 $bots[$botCounter].setAttackTargetObject(%client.player);
	 $botCounter++;
}

in client/scripts/defaultbind.cs

/ace
function addBot(%val)
{
 if(%val)
 {
  commandToServer('AddBot');
 }
}
moveMap.bind(keyboard, "ctrl b", addBot);

function addSpiderBot(%val)
{
 if(%val)
 {
  commandToServer('AddSpiderBot');
 }
}
moveMap.bind(keyboard, "ctrl v", addSpiderBot);
//endace

and in client/config.cs

moveMap.bind(keyboard, "ctrl b", addBot);
moveMap.bind(keyboard, "ctrl v", addSpiderBot);

Now i used aispider.cs (just a copy of aiplayer and named aispider)

#6 Sometimes, if you happen to spawn 2 bots on the exact same location it will look just like 1 and they will be stuck (just to make sure that aint happing ) go into the editor and move the bot manualy and see if there is another one there

just a thought

the ai_update from that page should still work


also if i remember right the ai site is set very low you may have to get closer to it for it to see you

#7 But Gonzo is correct, firas has it as a server function where no client info is passed. Ace has a commandToServer which comes from a client.

#8 Heh, ya i never goto console to input anything, only to read.

Im currently working that resource into a better one with classes and hopefully some better ai site stuff .

//randomthought
heh, i never "plan" cuz nothing seems to work the way you plan, so i only "get the general idea" and leave it at that.

#9 Hey guys I play Realm Wars and am trying to get bots into my new map... I cant even get them to spawn in it. I have tried typing this $mybot02=AIPlayer::spawnPlayer("abc"); bu all it says is (o): unable to instantiate non_conobject class AIplayer. Any ideas of where the problem is?

#10 Im getting the same problem, I think it has something to do with the engine code i think AIPlayer.cc needs recompiled back into the engine, im gonna check it out today and see.. thanks

#11 Im working with tgea 1.7.2 and I trying to add the aiplayer.cs in to my project and the exec comand .. but when I load the mission it hangs.. Can you tell me how to add the aiplayer.cs .. thanks

#12 last post 4 years ago
