Camouflage

(1/5) > >>

Ulciscor:
Just had another thought which could be interesting, maybe some sort of camouflage ability?

It would maybe take a certain amount of energy per cycle to sustain depending on the degree of camouflage you would want.

The full effect I suppose would be to render you invisible to other bots but this would be at a high price. Maybe you are unable to shoot while camouflaged?  Lesser degrees would maybe mess with other bot's vision, maybe make them think you are closer/further than you are, maybe a little further left or right. Or maybe you would have to be within more than one of their eye's fields of vision before they could see you.

Could make for interesting strategies with DNA I guess.

shvarz:
This idea has been around for a while.  It needs working environment greed though... so, we are still waiting.

Ulciscor:
I know I'm being dumb but what does it need the e-grid for?

shvarz:
No, it's not dumb.  It's just that whenever we introduce a new feature, it needs to be something open-ended.  In this case instead of just "camouflaging" we should allow bots to detect the color of environment and change their own color.  Which means that we need environement grid with different regions having different color.

People actually have not been too hot about this idea.  It seems too powerful.  Another argument against having comouflage is that color is a very convinient featue for us to see different species of bots.  If you allow bots to change color, then this becomes useless.

Old Henk:
I am for this, but only in the way Sharz suggested; in combination with the Egrid.

Btw Ulciscor dont count on it to be implemented all too soon, I suggested this two times now and little has been done with it untill this day...  :lol:
