How can I get this to work?

[havingphun]

This is my bot but how can I get it so there is a head and two body pieces and that the body pieces follow the head. I have tried this but the system to track the type of piece each is isnt working and I know the problem is right there I just can't see it. I want to create more advanced multi-bots if i can get this working.

Code: [Select]

def head 50
def body 51


cond
*.eye5 0 >
*.refeye *.myeye !=
*.head 0 !=
*.multi 1 =
start
*.refveldx .dx store
*.refvelup 30 add .up store
*.refxpos *.refypos angle .setaim store
stop

cond
*.eye5 50 >
*.refeye *.myeye !=
'*.refeye *.myeye !=
*.head 0 !=
*.multi 1 =
start
-1 .shoot store
*.refvelup .up store
*.refxpos *.refypos angle .setaim store
stop

cond
*.multi 1 =
*.head 0 !=
*.eye5 0 =
*.refeye *.myeye = or
start
314 rnd .aimdx store
stop

cond
*.numties 0 =
*.numties 1 = or
*.robage 0 !=
*.head 0 =
*.tienum < 3
start
32 .repro store
.tienum inc
.head inc
stop

cond
*.robage 0 =

*.head 0 =

stop

cond
*.nrg 30000 >
*.body 0 !=
*.head 0 != or
start

.head inc
.tienum 0 =
.deltie inc
stop

cond
*.multi 1 =
*.head 1 = and
start
*.eye5 .tout1 store
50 .sharenrg store
3 .fixlen store
100 .stifftie store
628 .fixang store
*.aimright .tout2 store
*.head .tout3 store
*.tienum .tout4 store
stop

cond
*.head 0 =

cond

end

Have you debugged if the .head and .body locations are changing values?

I didn't see anything obviously wrong but it's hard enough to debug DNA code you've written, let along DNA code someone else wrote.

You might also look at the DNA in the program and make sure it matches with the DNA text file to make sure there aren't any typos.

hmm first *.tienum < 3 --> *.tienum  3 <
Second Maybe i just overlooked it, but I have not seen anywhere where you specify the tailbot to match the heads speed.
*.tin2 .aimright store <-- direction but not speed, also aimright means turning acertain amount right based on the direction your bots currently facing its not independent of robot orientation like aim. (so bad if your tail looks elsewhere)
*.tin1 .eye5 store <-- maybe I am wrong but I think the refreshing of sensory variables is done pretty early in the turn and as this store command is almost at the end of the code is the changed eyevalue even read by something?

modified:
I think once the tie is hardened the angle might not only be fixed for the head but also the tail(again not 100% sure)
if thats so any attempt to turn would result in the tie working like a lever.

Ok ill look at these things. Also I didnt really explain this well but I want the bots to be in something like a triangle so the two bodies follow the head. A basic multibot so I could get started with them and understand them better.

I fixed the snake like thing with cantie. Now I just need to get the body bots to follow the head bot. Not sure how ive tried alot of things, but they have not worked. The body follows the heads speed and rotation. i might have an idea to fix it.
