RCBot for Svencoop 5 (Angelscript)

This version of RCBot has been created from scratch with some code converted from RCBot1 and inspired by RCBot2 code. It uses the built in plugin system "AngelScript" that comes with Svencoop 5.

instructions and download here:

https://github.com/rcbotCheeseh/RCBotSven5

Usage
just download all files (Download/Clone as zip) extract into the BotManager directory in scripts/plugins. (overwrite) The files will overwrite the current "Bot" scripts as it was based on the sample.

Features
Bots can run around / shoot enemies, pick up ammo/health/weapons/armor, use health/HEV chargers, use teleports, take cover, press buttons (at objective points -- not tested), shoot breakables (not tested). (i.e. its a work in progress).
Bots CAN'T use ladders yet, or secondary fire, or use grapple etc yet or other fancy stuff.

Commands:

CODE

addbot            Adds a new bot
waypoint_off        Display waypoints off
waypoint_on        Displays waypoints on
waypoint_add        Adds a new waypoint
waypoint_delete        Adds a new waypoint
waypoint_load        Loads waypoints
waypoint_save        Saves waypoints
pathwaypoint_create1     Adds a new path from
pathwaypoint_create2     Adds a new path to
pathwaypoint_remove1
pathwaypoint_remove2
waypoint_clear
waypoint_info        (print waypoint types on current waypoint)
waypoint_givetype     give waypoint type
waypoint_removetype     remove waypoint type
waypoint_toggletype
waypoint_convert_type (from) (to).    Convert waypoint types
debug                  debug messages toggle
godmode         god mode
noclip             noclip
notarget            (no target mode)
killbots         kills all bots

<to add - notouch (needed for waypointing)>

all commands accessible via command "as_command rcbot.<command>" e.g. "as_command rcbot.addbot"

DEBUGGING

if you run into trouble (usually becuase of a nightly build) find the problem by first using the commands

CODE

developer 1
as_log_level 2

note down any errors and report them

I'm needing waypoints redone These are now "rcwa" files in a different format. I made a program to convert rcbot1 waypoints to these. Downloadable here:

Build: de6598ea0a98e8efdc679bed8e110187a60b0bf3

I see that bots are now waiting at the bottom of ladders for other bots/players, excellent work Cheeseh, I like it...

It seems at some point over the last year the coding changes has effected the performance of some of the waypoints in my pack/git. I'm not saying this is a bug, or anything needs changing in the code to correct it. I'm just notifying everyone that some difficult to navigate areas may not work as well as they once did. Some rcwa's may need some adjustments?

I was playing last series with rcbot_as latest build de6598e, last was ok, have not checked last3 yet, last4 has some minor issues unrelated to code changes (stuck bot in a bsp hole, & door issues), and most of last2 seemed to be working good except at the cables in the elevator shaft, and the long grapple. I compared the latest build to the march 20, 2019 build and could see bots were not doing as well with latest build.

Last2: At the elevator cables bots are falling much more in both directions, they were near perfect with the older build. I can solve the down direction by raising up the top ladder wpt so it is more straight across from the ledge, it was angled down with the git rcwa. The up direction is difficult, bots rarely can make the jump from the cable to the ledge now. I've got them doing a little better by moving the path from where it was to the nearest ledge wpt, and removing the SN (Stay Near) flag from the top ladder/jump wpt. It might be acceptable this way, but I will try to get it working better.

Last2: At the long grapple, bots are failing much more with the current git wpt, but it's not a grapple wpt problem. The problem is at the launch wpt, which is currently a wait/SN wpt. With the latest build, I can solve the problem by removing the SN flag. Bots would not pull up close enough to the wait/SN wpt, without SN they get closer now. Before, with the old builds I needed a SN flag on the wait wpt so bots would pull up to the wait wpt. SN wpts seem to behave different now?

So, this brings up a question, about the build changes over the last year (since march 2019)...

1. Has the bots run up speed to certain types of wpts been changed (SN, wait, jump, or ladder)?

It looks like i'll need to remove SN flags in some locations on some maps and do a new waypoints pack perhaps? At my last check on the Dec 2019 build, sc_persia peg jumps were still working ok, as well as the jumps in sc_doc and sc_royals2.

I also began to rework crystal rcwa, I don't think it is fully functional (bots fail at HT into vent, and other issues). I played through both maps with old rcbot on sc4.8 so I could remember how everything works on those maps .

[edit] Looks like I'm 2 builds behind, I'll check out the HT improvements, sounds great...

Hi madmax. I haven't made any changes to bots run up speed or anything other than the HT and ladder change. So not sure what might be causing the issues. I am actually going to remove the 'auto wait no player' feature at ladders since they can be added manually anyway by the waypointer and may cause issues if it cannot be removed - I noticed this in sc_doc in ladders in the vent - cause more issues - let me know what you think. I've made some changes to some waypoints such as sc_doc at the HT point . I'll upload them perhaps you can work on those versions
