slothbot mode - problem : its hunting, should be guarding

[KonTest]

Hi,

I got a little problem with the Mode of the slothbots.

They should spawn at Area69 at different locations in different modes.

Some of them on top of the towers, a few on the ground.

They spawn, but in allways in 'hunting' mode.

Here here it is :

function onResourceStart(thisResource) 
 local team = getTeamFromName("ArmyBots") 
 local mode= "guarding" 
 local mode2= "waiting" 
 call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", 113.49, 1813.77, 33.90, 0, 287, 0, 0, team, 34, mode) 
 call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", 103.03, 1901.06, 33.90, 0, 287, 0, 0, team, 34, mode) 
 call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", 162.12, 1933.27, 33.90, 0, 287, 0, 0, team, 34, mode) 
 call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", 233.42, 1935.47, 33.90, 0, 287, 0, 0, team, 34, mode) 
 call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", 267.54, 1895.61, 33.90, 0, 287, 0, 0, team, 34, mode) 
 call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", 262.23, 1807.23, 33.90, 0, 287, 0, 0, team, 34, mode) 
 call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", 166.12, 1849.59, 33.90, 0, 287, 0, 0, team, 34, mode) 
 call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", 95.49, 1924.03, 18.11, 0, 287, 0, 0, team, 30, mode) 
 call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", 95.48, 1917.50, 18.11, 0, 287, 0, 0, team, 30, mode2) 
 call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", 223.71, 1872.26, 13.73, 0, 287, 0, 0, team, 30, mode2) 
 call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", 265.52, 1844.60, 17.65, 0, 287, 0, 0, team, 30, mode2) 
 call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", 265.52, 18848.60, 17.65, 0, 287, 0, 0, team, 30, mode2) 
 call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", 119.97, 1836.54, 17.65, 0, 287, 0, 0, team, 30, mode2) 
 call (getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot", 122.97, 1836.54, 17.65, 0, 287, 0, 0, team, 30, mode2) 
 end 
   
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), onResourceStart ) 

I tried

call (getblablubbb ...... , team, 30, "waiting") 

but it doesnt work either.

Can anyone help me, pls ?

You should be on the ArmyBots team, Otherwise they attack you.

Yes they do

Is there a way to tell the first 7 Bots to stay on top of their towers.... when they attack somebody ?

Put it on 'Guarding', They will not follow when a player runs away, They will only shoot.

Very funny

Thats what I tried. If you take a look at line 3 and 4 of the code, you'll see what I mean.

My guess: the values for mode and mode2 are not accepted, so the standart-value 'hunting is passed.

The question is : why ? and how can I change that.

try to call setBotGuard

bool setBotGuard( element theBot, float x, float y, float z, [ bool priority = false ] )

Thanks, I'll try that.

Maybe a stupid question .. but : How can I differentiate between one bot (or Ped) and another?

Or what should be the Value for 'theBot' ? Do they have Numbers ?

btw : Happy New Year!
