Touch senses?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Testlund:
Hmm... I've thought a little more about this. When a bot touches another it's mostly short bumpings. So I suppose that if bot 1 bumps into bot 2, then bot 2 (if it's a hunter) will turn around and shoot at it?. But if that is just one quick touch, how long will bot 2 continue to shoot? Maybe a bot can be fine tuned to either continue to move a little in the direction where it was last hit to 'stay in touch' so to speak, or maybe to continue to only shoot as long as it continues to recieve energy. Not likely for such thing to evolve by itself though. Maybe it might evolve to shoot a tie in that direction and then tie feed. In any case I can't wait to see what will come out of this feature in an evosim. It will give bots a new kind of awareness.

Numsgil:
I imagine, so long as the shot cost isn't too high, that you'll see bots that shoot constantly.  Especially when you're blind I think it's a good strategy.

rsucoop:
Can a bot touch one bot while tied to another and looking at another and read the refs for each in one cycle?

Numsgil:
Not presently, vision sysvars override touch sysvars.

rsucoop:
hmm.... but can a tie be read while either eye or touch are active?
