BUG FIX

Better late than never. This is just an update to make the script work. It doesn't add any new features or optimization. That may come later if you treat me nice.

[gtrg]

btw could you add them in mutiple teams?

[Slothman]

yes.

[Tunner]

Thanks for the bug fix slothman. But debugscript is still spamming me with red error messages. About comparing bolean with numbers and such.

[Slothman]

can you post the errors?

[Tunner]

sure, here you are:

ERROR slothbot/sbclient.lua:1109:attempt to compare boolean with number

This error totally floods the debug.

i had this issue too.

btw the throwable weapons (grande, molotov, etc..) is not handled it would be great if it would be.

some tactics improment would be also good (switching between weapons depends on distance or running around the target w/ tec/etc.. while shooting)

[Slothman]

currently the bots can only have 1 weapon at a time, so weapon switching isn't really possible. The team bug is something I was made aware of, and im working to solve it properly rather than just a patch job. Throwable weapons are a a problem because peds can't throw projectiles weapons( or at least last I checked, maybe that's changed) and the only way to do it would be some hacky createProjectile method.

sounds great, il be back to my project then

addEvent("SpawnPetDog", true) 
function spawnDog() 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition (source) 
local rot= 90 
local skin=10 
local interior=0 
local dimension= 0 
local team=getPlayerTeam(source) 
local weapon=0 
local mode= "waiting" 
local modesubject=source 
dog =  call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", x, y+math.random(1,3), z+math.random(1,3), rot, skin, interior, dimension, team, weapon, mode) 
call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "setBotAttackEnabled",dog,false) 
--setElementData(source,"HasPetDogpackOut", true) 
end 
addEventHandler("SpawnPetDog", getRootElement(), spawnDog) 

why isent the setBotAttackEnabled working? i dont know why and it dont come any error in debugsript

fixed team detection, new version uploaded.

i see what the problem is for setbotattackenabled. for some reason, i wait a bit of time to set certain aspects of the bot after it spawns. so to stop the bot from being able to shoot, do this:

setTimer ( call, 400, 1,getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "setBotAttackEnabled",thebot,false )

that should work

[Deagle]

Is it possible to create a ped which could fight against me with a hunter ?

[karlis]

slothbot doesn't support vehicles.

[Tunner]

Sorry to say this, but even after the update my bots still kill everyone regardless the team.

[Slothman]

lets see the line that you spawn the bot and set its team.

[Tunner]

function Spawnsoldier ()

local x,y,z = 16.8071,1500.2646,12.75

local rot=0

local skin=287

local interior=0

local dimension= 0

local team=Team

local weapon=29

local mode=guard

local modesubject= getElementPosition(source)

call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", 16.8071,1500.2646,12.75, rot, skin, interior, dimension, team, weapon, mode, modesubject)

the teams are set in different resource but i made sure to run the team resource before the bot. Bad thing is, that I cant set the teams in the bot resource as I need the teams to work regardless the bot resource.

[Castillo]

Where's "Team" defined?

[Tunner]

read again. I edited it.

[Castillo]

You defined a variable in another resource ( not a script in the same resource as Spawnsoldier function ) and you expect it to work?

[Tunner]

Yup, why not?

[Castillo]

That'll not work, variables aren't shared by resources.

You can use getTeamFromName.

[Tunner]

It looks like just another way of expressing a team name to me, but ill give it a shot.

EDIT: Yep I was right, it still doesnt work. Thanks for the try though.

Just to make sure everythings right, heres the code:

function Spawnsoldier ()

local x,y,z = 16.8071,1500.2646,12.75

local rot=0

local skin=287

local interior=0

local dimension= 0

local team= getTeamFromName ( "Team" )

local weapon=29

local mode=guard

local modesubject= getElementPosition(source)

call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", 16.8071,1500.2646,12.75, rot, skin, interior, dimension, team, weapon, mode, modesubject)

[Tunner]

Now i have made the teams in the same resource as my bot script, but it still doesnt work. It worked perfectly before so i dont know whats wrong with it.

Maybe it has something to do with the eror slothbot/sbclient 114 attempt to compare boolean with a number. Can somebody tell me whats wrong in the sbclient script? Im convinced this is the cause of the faulty team recognition.
