I Had Dash 0.5, and it worked great, however I now have Dash 0.7, and Can not change my bots firerate through the Uberbots.cs file anymore. Anyone who knows what I'm talking about, please help me. I've been wracking my brain out trying to figure out what happened. The change of Dash codes is the only explanation that makes sense to me right now, but I can't find the "old" Dash 0.5 to test it out. Please help.

Thanks,

KC

Hi KC!

Hey KC sorry I coudn't answer you sooner! Well here is what you do:

1. Ok well get this file first: tankDb.cs
2. Then when you are inside there are LOADS of codes in there for a specific tank.
3. So now if you want your bots to retrive its firerate again, this is the code yo want to look at:

 

                                        

                                        fireScale = 1.0;

                                        

 

4. Now when you have got a code from the tankDb.cs file, all you need to do is make it into a bot language. Which will turn out like this:

 

                                        

                                        GoldLightTank.firescale = 1.0;
                                        

                                        

 

The one I have bolded is the code above . So the extras are GoldLightTank. *Including the dot*
5. Now with the dash's 0.07 codes are simple since dash put a UberBots section where it is organized. Now with your UberBots, all you need to do is ut the code from step 4 at the very bottom of the particular AI . For example if you are doing GoldLightTank put that code in the very bottom of that AI .
6. When you have completed the tasks above it will be all set! :)

So... If you want like to change the tank's speed and make it so your bots have it too you just need to the steps above and that's it.

Hope this helps KC! XD

CUC,

Thanks alot for replying! Tell me though. I have "added" the "firescale" bit in a new line at the bottom of the AI like you said. It's the last entry. Something still seems to be missing though. It seems like maybe the lights have increased in their firerate, but the heavys are still not "spraying" like firehoses even though I have them set at 0.01. All the while, my own rate has increased accordingly. The bots just aren't responding like before. In your instructions, are you also saying that I have to change/add anything in tankDB? For example, only the med tank has a "firescale" line. Should I add that line to the light and heavy AI. Descriptions to make it work in the Uberbots? Otherwise, I'm thinking you were just telling me to use tankDB as a "code" reference to know what to write in the Uberbots. True?

Thanks as always CUC!

Very nice thought but you don't have to add anything since the LightTank and the HeavyTank in the tankDb.cs file follow the MediumTank's codes too. So no don't add anything to it, just copy and paste the many codes that the Mediumtank has.

Oh and if you want your heavy and medium tanks' to fire like a firehose then simply do this:

 

                                        

                                        GoldMediumTank.firescale = 1.0;

                                        

 

Or

 

                                        

                                        GoldHeavyTank.firescale = 1.0;

                                        

 

It's easy. I just switched the Light with Heavy and Medium.
