Re: podbot grenade throwing bug

i experienced usually this:
bot wants to throw grenade
he stops and gets the nade to hand
then he spins on the place he is and finally trows grenade on the floor (or any stupid direction)
and usually nade lands exackly under his legs

and boom :D

they should trow nades faster, and i was thinking if it is possible to write simple algorithm so that bot would predict at least one or 2 nade bumps from the wall or ceiling

You are a coder - so You can help in this. Do it! :D

Re: podbot grenade throwing bug

I'm just in 10th grade :(
haven't taken physics yet...
but I'm in Math Analysis/Trignometry...
and I think I remotely remember being taught how objects fall and the formulas and all that...
but it's all gone outta my head right now :D

for someone who's in 10th grade ur doing great :)

ps: whats 10th grade as age wise...we don't use grades in nz :o

[edit]
anyone actually know the formulas or anything?
some help coding or providing math help would be appreciated =)

fire up google and search projectile motion

..i'll look up my physics book for some stuff.....it's been a 2 yrs since i've touched physics...

Re: podbot grenade throwing bug

strange...
pb2.6mm currently uses the same throwing code as the pb2.6 that CF released...
did this throwing bug exist since 2.5?
or did CF play around with this code before he released it?

Version 2.6
+ FIXED: DS SERVER CVAR
+ FIXED: Borg Mode and added extra Borg Cam
+ FIXED: Misc Bugs when attacking
+ FIXED: Bots switching to next Weapon when only Ammo in current Clip
+ FIXED: Duck/Jumping Bug
+ FIXED: About 3 MB of Memory/Resource Leaks :)
+ Rewrote func type handling, especially buttons
+ Aiming now affected by Enemy Velocity & Bot Turns
+ Bots continue their Tasks if no direct Path to Enemy
+ CT Bots low on health (or 50% Probability) guard a dropped C4
+ Rewrote Startup Routines which previously caused the stupid jumping
+ Smarter Grenade Usage
+ Correct FOV for each Weapon & Sniping Mode
+ New Zoom Switching allows better sniping weapon usage
+ Changes in the Behaviour Code - Bots try to go for Cover faster
+ Misc changes to the statistics system - depending on Emotions Bots may camp instead of moving to dangerous positions
+ Bots don't move in Intermission
+ Bots leave their camping/hiding position if they get hurt by unusual damage like drowning or gas

Re: podbot grenade throwing bug

yea... smarter... right... :D
