Podbot Beta 3.0 Updates? ^^

[KWo]

V3Build15d had a little fix for booster (to never go with msec value below 1 ms)
The newest V3 Build 15e contains the code for the newest Austin's request concerning pb debuggoal function. Now You can set the debuggoal index from the WP menu from "Options". On the same page You can switch it off.

@Austin - please test if that crap is working correctly.
Note - You can point at any WP only if You are in the radius range of another WP. It was so since the beginning of the WP editor. I didn't feel to change this only because of debuggoal - sorry.

crap? I thought it wa sa useful feature?

What version of the docs should I use to start with to document this feature?
Thanks!

Testing NOW, how is that for fast response ?

[KWo]

"Crap" I meant my bad code. Here You have the latest docs.

Kwo,
Sorry my idea was not a good one.
I didn’t realize this until I tried to use the new command.
It is actually hard to use this way.

Here is what we should have done and it is actually simpler and easier to document since we don’t have to change any menus..

The main problem with pb debuggoal is having to bring up the console and type the wp number.

What we should have is a command something like
debugPointedAtGoal

This way we could have one bind, and then all you do is point to a wp and hit the key and you would set the pointed at wp as the goal wp.

This would be way better.

If you decide this is ok and you code it, please also have the message
“debuggoal set to <waypoint number>” show up like you do now when the goal is set.
We should remove the new command and menu items sorry. It is actually crap.

Try this bind and stop complaining:
bind "i" "pb wpmenu;menuselect 9;menuselect 8"

Kwo,
You misunderstood how I originally wanted this to work.
I thought we should have a “waypointgoal MODE” when on EVERYTIME a wp is pointed at it sets it as the goal.

But instead you implemented it EXACTLY as it should be!
Your are a genius!

I will fix up the docs for you.
I will start with version
V1.0b / 18.09.2006

Correct?

[KWo]

Yeah - but don't publicate it yet, because I'm about to add FFA mode (I mean that request) - so You will need to write some info to the configuration/settings part, too.
I hope You can work for a while on docs, right?

Yes, I can help!

I will work on the debuggoal part so I have it done.
Send me the information on the other stuff you want me to added.
Thanks!

I think I'm misunderstanding what your idea of the debugGoalPoint is.

I'm thinking you want to make a normal green point into something like a goal for bots to go to or just to go to that area of the map.

But wouldn't that be setting like multiple goals for bots to use?
Like lesser goals to go to an area, then the major goals of setting bombs and getting hostages?
