How to add bot's in race

[MetaGamer]

I am using race gamemode. But how will i add bots and will race with me. Is it hard in mta?

[MaddDogg]

Yeah, just create a new topic for every new one sentence question...

To have bots race you, you would have to write their AI, and I don't know of any existing script, which includes that.

So, yes, it's hard.

[AcidbRain]

I'd recommend to use slothbot; with a few lines of code you can have an AI bot roaming on your map.

PS: They won't race but they'll shoot at you.

[MetaGamer]

so how will i make the AI

[MaddDogg]

It's not as easy as you might think, actually it's quite hard.

If you just want a bot, which runs around with no clue, follows you or just stands still, then that's no problem.

But to write a bot AI, which races you on a track, is way harder.

So I'd advise you to refrain from this idea and start off with something easier

[MetaGamer]

can anyone give a nice tutorial of how to add it?

Here u go: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jugpwpnb7db31nh/bot.zip

[MetaGamer]

what is that?

EDIT : What is the language? I don't understand the language

what is that?

EDIT : What is the language? I don't understand the language

Language: Indonesian

Information: It is a bot, You need slothbot for it.

Start slothbot > type: /spawnbot

Then there will be a bot spawned on ur location

[MetaGamer]

ok. But how will i make him in car?

EDIT : Where can i find slothbot

ok. But how will i make him in car?

EDIT : Where can i find slothbot

Hmmm.... maybe warpPedIntoCar

Search for: Slothbot in MTA community website

not my car. The bot will follow my car

not my car. I bot will follow my car with his own car

Maybe read the MTA Wiki.

[MetaGamer]

I read it. But found nothing except of On Foot

[MetaGamer]

so no one knows how to add a bot in cars

There was some resources that let's you film when you are driving and then you can make a bot do what you did, check mta community.

But then the bot will always drive in the same way and the car won't have physics. For example you won't be able to affect it by hitting it with your car.

To make a driving bot:

1. Create a car and store it to a variable.

2. Create a ped and store it to a variable too.

3. Use warpPedIntoVehicle to put a ped into the car.

4. Use setPedControlState to make him drive. That's where you need to write the AI yourself.

[MetaGamer]

i am using slothbot. How will i properly use warpPedIntoVehicle and setPedControlState properly in slothbot

Look, check wiki. You are asking too many things, and you just started on MTA. And this kind of script is very hard, even for experienced scripters (of course not impossible).

My suggestion: learn LUA a lot, check wiki for help instead of ask everything because there are own jobs/projects on every scripter, and when you get stuck, check the syntax with Notepad++ or something like that, if the problem isn't the syntax then ask here. And maybe, in 1 year, you would have learned enough to do this script.

[MetaGamer]

thank you kid. But their are no definition of my question. I just need a script where there is a bot which follow's me with car. Just that. And I think it's easy to do with slothbot, but I am not figuring it out

[12p]

not easy, not easy.

[SDK]

If there's nothing on the slothbot wiki about driving, then it probably doesn't have it. There is no public resource afaik for peds driving vehicles, so you'll have to write it all from scratch.

The closest thing you could get may be this (but it has no AI): https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p= ... ils&id=665

[Slothman]

the slothbot does not know how to drive. writing an ai for a racing mod is concievable, but a lot more work than itd be worth to me, and would probably work with only the most simple races.

[MetaGamer]

I just need a bot which follows my car. That's it

[MaddDogg]

Is it so hard to understand that it's not that easy?

No one will be willing to do that for you just now, since it's something really hard and needs a lot of work. Even very good programmers need quite some time and effort to program such an AI.

So just accept, that it's out of your range right now. Try to find an easier task to do, but don't start off with "programming an AI", since that's one of the most difficult parts of game world programming.
