PLZ test it, Captain ! (U can downlaod below ,ALL latest modified source and DLL uploaded)

After the secondary attack code, i added some new codes of AUX Power for bot,(of cause my new code is based on bot button again, this time i think it 's not as good as i thought, because bot only use AUX power to rush when he wants to kill an enemy or he is under attack. I think let bot rushing is a random thing, so i need time to try if i can change the bot button thing to random bot action.

Now i bring u a small problem:

i think these code below make bot stand and jump on one point to shoot his enemy, would u plz adjust the time value so the bot can be standing there for a short time. then bot can take more time to use AUX power to rush and flank. (i tried a whole day to adjust the time value, but in vain)

bot.cpp

void CBot :: jump ()
{
if ( m_pButtons->canPressButton(IN_JUMP) )
{
m_pButtons->holdButton(IN_JUMP,0/* time to press*/,0.5/* hold time*/,0.5/*let go time*/);
// do the trademark jump & duck
m_pButtons->holdButton(IN_DUCK,0.2/* time to press*/,0.3/* hold time*/,0.5/*let go time*/);
}
}

void CBot :: duck ( bool hold )
{
if ( hold || m_pButtons->canPressButton(IN_DUCK) )
m_pButtons->holdButton(IN_DUCK,0.0/* time to press*/,1.0/* hold time*/,0.5/*let go time*/);
}

THX, hmmm if i don't like the bot to stop, can i change the highlighted code below stopMoving(); to: findEnemy(); ?

bot.cpp

if ( m_pNavigator->hasNextPoint() )
{
m_pNavigator->updatePosition();
}
else
stopMoving();

PS:

but how can i make bots to rush with AUX Power without the bot button thing ? these speed codes? :

bot.cpp

cmd.forwardmove = m_fForwardSpeed;
cmd.sidemove = m_fSideSpeed;
cmd.upmove = m_fUpSpeed;

[Cheeseh]

no doing that removes the essence of game programming (and it wouldn't make sense)

findEnemy only updates the bots m_pEnemy it doesn't instantly make a bot run around for an enemy and shoot them, no its much more complex and requires several stages (as everything is split into tasks, these tasks get read every frame and do not complete until several frames or seconds have passed).



if you want them to use the AUX power Sprint, they need to press the sprint button, doing so any other way is considered a 'hack'
