Bot Questions - !buy bot that uses points as currency Anonymous - Thu Aug 07, 2003 11:21 pm Post subject: !buy bot that uses points as currency
I need a !buy bot that uses a players points for their currency, The reason: all the !buy bots ive seen do not pay attention to turf rewards...
On (!buy cloak) IF ("points">"cost") THEN {:"NAME":/*points -"cost"} ELSE {:"NAME": You cannot afford "ITEM"}
IDEALLY, the bot would also be able to tell if the player can USE that upgrade, and move accordingly.
Unfortunatly, i have 0 knowledge of how the innerworkings of a bot fit together. I could probably peice the coding together, but im clueless as to where they go and how they go.
Anyone help me out? =)

Umm.. how about an easier method? ?set Cost:Cloak:50000
Plus you can even have it so you have to be in a safety zone to use ?buy (Cost:PurchaseAnytime).

yeah its like that now -- the main thing is im trying to avoid the "i didnt know i couldnt use cloak on this ship so wheres my 50,000 points!" crap

Well, then you might want to put a .lvz image somewhere explaining it near a safety zone or something then. Because if a player knows how to use ?buy, they should know how to cloak.

yes, it's always a good idea to make a list of what ships can and cannot have in an arena where you can ?buy
can use a .hlp file addition
or a screen or map .lvz like mine suggested
or website (more work - less accessible while in-game)
just make a new thread in the appropriate forum if you need more assistance with something
