Questions to Stefans advanced bot scripting ....

by Michael Schaumburg · in Torque Game Engine · 12/03/2002 (5:09 am) · 23 replies

I got it working this great source "Adding NPC support". Now I try to to get Stefans source "Advanced bot scripting" at www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=2505 to work for the NPC's. When I try to acces from a NPC to the code, I get some errors in the console. First how I create the NPC:

function NPC::create(%datablock)
{
	// Create the player object
	%obj= new AIPlayer()
	{
		dataBlock= %datablock;
	};
	
	%obj.setMoveSpeed(0.2);
	%obj.handleWaypointsAndChase(%this);
	return %obj;
}

I was running through the scripts but I can't find this missing functions. In the console I get the following:

fps/server/scripts/aiPlayer.cs (275): Unknown command getLocation
fps/server/scripts/aiPlayer.cs (155): Unknown command setTargetObject
fps/server/scripts/aiPlayer.cs (174): Unknown command move

Why is the function unable to find the object ?

fps/server/scripts/aiPlayer.cs (163): Unable to find object: '' attempting to call function 'hasInventory'
fps/server/scripts/aiPlayer.cs (163): Unable to find object: '' attempting to call function 'hasInventory

Any idea ??

Also I changed my create function to start the NPC with a weapon, but he still has no weapon:

// start with a weapon
	%weapon = new Item(){
		dataBlock = Rifle;
	};
	%ammo = new Item(){
		dataBlock = RifleAmmo;
	};
	MissionCleanup.add(%weapon);
	MissionCleanup.add(%ammo);
	%obj.pickup(%weapon,1);
	%obj.pickup(%ammo,2);

Well, I can't get them to fire with "setImageTrigger(0,true);", no matter in what order or where I call the commands... in fact, if I put that in, the bot doesn't even move anymore... could you post some complete code snippit, Ken? Would be awesome! :)

function TrollAvatar::openFire(%this,%obj)
{
   %obj.setImageTrigger(0,false);
   %this.schedule($MIN_TRIGGER_HOLD+getRandom($MAX_TRIGGER_HOLD), "ceaseFire", %obj);
}

That's it, and it works just fine using the new AIPlayer class with no engine changes. Instead of the custom TrollAvatar, one would use the stock LightMaleHumanArmor instead...
