help....again

[MrMound]

still doesn't work

[Numsgil]

it's .fixpos, not .fixpose

[MrMound]

heres the gene thats not working

Code: [Select]

cond
*.numtie 0 >
start
0 .fixpos store
stopI want this gene to tell my bot to stop when it ties on to food.  I also want this gene to make any other bots tied onto me to stay still wile they are (bots of my own species).
heres the bot if you want to look at the whole thing to see if its something else thats making that bot not work.

[Numsgil]

0 .fixpos store unfixes your position.

1 (in fact, I think any non zero value) .fixpos store fixes your position.

That should resolve it.

Bot's looking good.

Also its *.numties not *.numtie

[Light]

Code: [Select]

cond
*.multi = 1
start
99% sharenrg
1% sharewaste
stop
this gene shoud be

Code: [Select]

cond
  *.multi 1 =
start
  99 .sharenrg store
  1 .sharewaste store
stop

Code: [Select]

cond
 *.eye5
 0
 >
 *refaimdex
 1
 =
start
  1 .tie
stop
and this should be

Code: [Select]

cond
  *.eye5 0 >
  *.refaimdx 1 =
start
  1 .tie
stop

[Welwordion]

I thought he wanted to unfix it ^^, ahh well my bad.

[PurpleYouko]

how do you unfix your self
and why wont this gene work then

Code: [Select]

cond
*.numtie >= 1
start
1 .fixpose store
stop

Because there are no such commands as fixpose or numtie.

Try fixpos and numties.



Does anyone these days know how to use the robot data panel these days?  <_<

Just double click your bot and click the "show DNA" tab.

Compare your DNA to the text file for differences. If anything shows up as a zero in the DNA panel then it is spelled wrong.

If a whole gene is screwed up then its most likely a missed out cond, start or stop.

These are your basic debugging tools.

[Numsgil]

Someone (else) should start on a IDE for bot programming.  Something that would color in the appropriate words as you type, and you could "compile" the code (basically check for missing stops/misspells/etc.)

[MrMound]

that would help me out a lot if someone made one of those.

[MrMound]

I want my bots to move to the coridinates (0,0) how can I do this.  I know you can see if your bot is at a x or y pos but can you tell it to go to a specific one or does it have to move randomly about untill it gets to the right coordinates?

[Botsareus]

You need to do an "angle" to get it.

Somthing like

0 .myx sub 0 .myy sub angle .myaim sub .aimdx store

I beat I got the syntax wrong.

[PurpleYouko]

WAY overcomplicated. Heading for a specific position with know X and Y coordinates is really simple.

It's as simple as this..

Xcoordinate Ycoordinate angle .setaim store

The program already knows your present coordinates so all you need is the destination.

PS it's "angle" not "angel"

Angels look like this  :bigginangel:

[MrMound]

so the gene would look like this

Code: [Select]

cond
start
Xcoordinate Ycoordinate angle .setaim store
stop

[Numsgil]

yep, that'd get you pointed in the right direction.

You might want to add a condition to that so it only activates when you want it (otherwise you're always pointed towards (xcoord, y coord)
