Default Re: Is there A Simple BOT? - 17-02-2004

The nature of my idea is simple I think, but because it goes against the very nature of AI programming, it seems kind of complicated.

Instead of wanting a Bot that acts in comletely independent life-like way, I am interested in a bot that will perform specific programmed tasks, such as walking to an exact point and looking in a certain direction.

This can be achieved to some degree through clever waypointing, however the programming of the bots make them very reluctant to act in scripted automatic way.

I suppose the ideal situation would be to be able to record an action by performing it yourself, like a macro, and then have a bot replicate the exact same movements. Kind of like the football analogy, if I had a button hook macro or something where when activated, the bot would run 10 yards stop and turn around.
