Bots and Simulations > Bot Tavern

Two ideas: dummy, puppet master

(1/2) > >>

Welwordion:
You know I thought could a bot not try to use dummies when a enemy  fires at him to distract the enemy and escape sight?
Like airplanes and submarines use gainst rocket and torpedos.

Second I tought it might be nice to make a Mbot that fixes its center bot and uses his ties to navigate the others instead of normal movement. This could be good in gravity sims and if  you change which bot is fixed enable crawling against gravity.

What are your thoughts? Did I say something that was already done?

PurpleYouko:
Crawling via fixing and unfixing ties has already been done. Check out my Inchworm MB that I made about a year ago in 2.37.
I doubt it will work properly in 2.4 because the tie commands are not quite fully working yet.

It alternately fixes one end or the other and moves by stretching/shrinking its tie.

Haven't tried your other idea on anything other than large stringy plants though.

Numsgil:
What tie commands still aren't working?

PurpleYouko:
tielen1 through 4 for starters.

I was also under the impression that tielen and fixang weren't working the same as they did in 2.37.6

EricL:
.fixang is working for sure in 2.42.3b.  That was one of the main things I fixed in that version.  .tielen may still have issues.  I have not invested the time (yet) to really investigate it thouoghly although it appearred to be working in the wiki battery bot gene I was testing with.
