Post subject: About a that shoot bot...

sorry to post it on a new topic but has anyone thought of a aiming bot? im not cs major but i dont think its very hard to use the xy coordinates of your ship position and the ships angle varariable to create a background program (sorta like a trainer ........[makes me feel like a cheater

] )that projects a long line from your ship on the game's window. i wouldnt call it as hacking since it doesnt mod anythn. it took me a while to find a forum like this thnx!

Its pretty easy to do a simple aiming test, but then it requires a bit of work to predict the chance of them being there (since they can turn/go backwards). And no, you aren't the first to think of this, as most games already have AIs so you can play single player (though most AI suck).

no just a simple straight line extending from your ship thats all im looking for. since im programming illiterate it would be a nightmare shufflin through the codes to find the right variables.

If you have enough video card power, you can always add the lines to your ships.bm2 file (though it does make it huge and fat). I did that once with the turret image, and it only got in the way. I did shorten it a bit, so now i can atleast see where my gun is pointed, but huge lines get in the way when you deal with ships moving in random directions.

I've done that, my friend actually made a program to do it.

yea, i did draw the lines before but i couldnt get it to extend beyond the ships image cuz everything is in a little square (which was more of a annoyance). is it not possible to project a single line function from a separate prgm onto the game screen w/o having to edit the bm2 files? as for the big lines i guess u could erase and then create a line whenever the ships coordinates/orientation changes.
