i have a bot that unspecs and warps itself to an area, and then ufos there
for some odd reason, it always takes the ball with it, and then i cant get to it, even though its in a ship that cant normally pick up the ball, and doesn't even pass the place where the ball spawns in the first place (not that i can see, anyway)

how do i stop this?

oh, and it has sysop powers, fyi, and kinda has to stay unspecced

When did it pick up the ball in the first place? If a plugin did it, which plugin?

its a really simple bot, i made it, all it does is unspec itself and warp somewhere

isn't there some sort of tell() command to make the bot disable its 'ball-getting?'

Well why is it picking up the ball in the first place?

i have no idea, no matter what setting i give it (tell(makeflying), tell(following), etc.) it'll always pick up the ball. even when its not near the ball! i even tried just giving it mod powers instead of sysop, and tried having the bot *setship itself rather than using tell(makeship). every time, even though the ship is in cant carry the ball, it picks up the thing!

is it just that any bot out of spec picks up the ball automatically? arrgh!

uhh, has happened to me before too when i make the bot follow me and stuff it first picks up the ball.. look at this:

Code: Show/Hide

case EVENT_BallMove:
   {
      PBall *ball = (PBall*)event.p[0];

      tell(makeGrabBall(ball->ident));
   }
   break;

Prolly wrong, but could that be whats causing it?

I told catid to take it out, he told me he didn't understand why it was a problem and ignored me.
