Heres the bottom line, guys. I was too afraid to ask a question like this. I was trying to learn this on my own. Im stumped.

How to I tell my bot to see where each flag was dropped on the map and how would I get my bot to pick it up and drop it at a certain coord?

I know that this is alot to ask(most likely) but Im desperate now.. I just want to know that for now. Mabye if someone can tell me, other ideas of mine may spawn.

----------------

Yet another newbish(mabye) question.

I see Sint32(X Y etc...)
I do not know how to use it, sadly..
I would like to make a warp bot of my own. I heard that it was basic. It was recommended to me by BaK because I was completely new to C++ and making merv plugins.
I finally want to code this plugin but I do not know how to use it and where I would put the code exactly..

I saw the tutorial on Distorts site.. I saw the same thing on MGB's page... I know that its newbish but Im stumped..

-----------------

thank you..

Only giving you some parts of the answer so you can find out the rest yourself (and learn from it). You won't learn when you already know the answer.

This is how you retrieve the flag list:

Code: Show/Hide

parse = flaglist->head;

while (parse) {
Flag *f = parse->item;
sendPublic("Flag #"+String(f->ident)+"; X: "+String(f->x)+", Y:"+String(f->y)+", Owned by team: "+String(f->team));
parse = parse->next;
}

You can have the bot move to specific coordinates by doing me->move(x*16, y*16); , but make sure you make use of tell(makeFlying(true)) and tell(makeSendPosition(true)) and tell(makeShip(SHIP_Warbird)) - else it won't work.

For your second question, read Underlord's Tutorial (or the download friendly version)

Good luck

Don't go spreading your Satan's ways, Mav. The Internet is all-encompassing.

Can you please give a more indepth hint/explaination of the structure of the code you are implying?

All you have to do is make the bot Get in a ship (*setship 1-

and *warpto it's self to the flag coord, and *warpto to the next coord, then get it to *spec it's self twice, then the flag nuets and appears in that area later.

That is probably the newbie way

It may just work!

@Mav: I was saying your downloadable "offline" version is evil.
