Naming Objects and Players

#1 The playername comes from a global , that you set I belive in the load mission gui, the AI has the name associated when they are created %player.setShapeName("NEW NAME");

#2 I tried altering the code in tutorial.base/server/bot -here's what the part of the code that has that line you mentioned looks like-



//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// AIPlayer static functions
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

function AIPlayer::spawn( %name, %spawnPoint )
{
// Create the A.I. driven bot object...
%player = new AIPlayer()


{
dataBlock = MyBot;
path = "";


};

MissionCleanup.add( %player );
%player.setShapeName( %player);
%player.setTransform( %spawnPoint );

return %player;
}

But when I try to change "%player" to a name it still does not work. Help please!!!

#3 Ultimately what I am trying to do is to name the A.I. player, give him a weapon, give him ammo, and code him to shoot at the player (there's more to it, but its not important). Once I get the naming thing down, how and where do I code to mount an image (weapon) and ammo? I have tried:

%obj.mountImage( RocketLauncherImage, 0 );
%obj.setImageAmmo( 0, 1 );

In the bot's script but nothing happens. I really need help here...

#4 Note from the aiplayer.cs

function AIPlayer::spawn(%name,%spawnPoint)
{
   // Create the demo player object
   %player = new AiPlayer() {
      dataBlock = DemoPlayer;
      path = "";
   };
   MissionCleanup.add(%player);
   %player.setShapeName(%name);
   %player.setTransform(%spawnPoint);
   return %player;
}

Ideally you want to back track and find where spawn is called (which is AIplayer::spawnonPath() and where that is called, track it down until you find where name is set)

Until then to make you feel happy right before %player.setShapeName(%name);

add the line

%name = "The Great Rosenbaum";

they you should see a differance, note that is a hack you need to find where the name is originally called, use "find in files" from something like Tribal IDE or Torsion
