 // assume entity1 is a GameEntity from another source, such as GetAllType
 if(DistanceBetween(b.GetGameEntity(), entity1))
 {
 }

Example: 

 entMat = GetEntRotationMatrix(someent);

Parameters: (GameEntity/GameId, AABB<optional>)

If you pass an AABB as the 2nd parameter, that object will be filled in instead of a new AABB returned. This can save memory allocations in a script that calls the function often by re-using the same object.

Returns: true if AABB passed as 2nd parameter and filled in successfully, if no AABB provided, returns AABB for entity. Both return null on an error.

Example: 

 entAABB = GetEntWorldAABB(someent);
 if(entAABB)
 {
      // do something
 }
 // re-use the same AABB later
 if(GetEntWorldAABB(someent, entAABB))
 {

OnTriggerRegion

Creates one of several types of trigger regions. A trigger region is an area that watches for entities of certain types to touch them and calls script callback functions for enter and exit. Useful if you want an easy way to be notified when certain entities go to certain areas of the map.

This function takes a table as the last parameter to define a number of flexible options for the trigger region. Here is a list of available key/value options for the table.

  • Name - Optional name to give the region. Does not need to be unique.
  • OnEnter - script function to call when an entity touches the region.
  • OnExit - script function to call when an entity stops touching the region.
  • TriggerOnClass - Define the class id you want the region to trigger on. This field may also be an indexed table with up to 8 class ids.
  • TriggerOnCategory - Category of entities to watch for. This field may also be an indexed table with as many categories as you want to limit the trigger to.
  • TriggerOnEntity - A specific entity to trigger on. This field may also be an indexed table with up to 8 entities you want to limit the trigger to.

The following region types are supported. The type is dependent on which parameters of the function are used.

  • AABB - Axis aligned bounding box.
  • Sphere - A radius around a position.

Triggers may be rendered for reference with /bot drawtriggers 1

Parameters: (AABB, table)

Parameters: (position, radius, table)

Returns: unique serial number of region

Example: 

 // creates a sphere trigger 256 units in radius around 0,0,0

 	OnEnter = function(ent)
 	{
 		print(GetEntName(ent),"entered aabb trigger");
 	},
 	OnExit = function(ent)

SetGoalPriority

Sets priority of one or more MapGoals for specified team and class. The last parameter must be true for dynamically created goals (FLAG_dropped, FLAGRETURN, DEFUSE ...).

Parameters: (expression or table, priority, teamId[optional, default 0], classId[optional, default 0], persistent[optional])

Returns: none

Example: 

 example: SetGoalPriority( "FLAG_Gold", 0.7 ); //all teams and all classes
 example: SetGoalPriority( "CHECKPOINT_City", 0.8, TEAM.AXIS); //axis only all classes
 example: SetGoalPriority( "DEFUSE_somedyno.*", 0.0, TEAM.AXIS, CLASS.ENGINEER, true ); //the persistent parameter is used for dynamic goals that may not have been created yet

See Also: Priority

SetGoalRole

Sets one or more roles of one or more MapGoals. The last parameter must be true for dynamically created goals (FLAG_dropped, FLAGRETURN, DEFUSE ...).

Parameters: (expression or table, role or table, persistent[optional])

Returns: none

Example: 

 example: SetGoalRole( "FLAG_Gold", ROLE.ATTACKER ); //1 goal, 1 role
 example: SetGoalRole( "DEFEND_City[4567]", { ROLE.DEFENDER2, ROLE.DEFENDER3}); //4 goals, 2 roles
 example: SetGoalRole( "DEFUSE_somedyno.*", ROLE.DEFENDER2, true ); //the persistent parameter is used for dynamic goals that may not have been created yet

See Also: Roles

SetMapGoalProperties

Passes a table full of properties along to all matching map goals to attempt to set their properties.

Parameters: (expression or table, table of properties)

Returns: none

Example: 

 // Set the camp time for all attack and defend goals
 SetMapGoalProperties( "ATTACK_.*", {mincamptime=15, maxcamptime=30});
 SetMapGoalProperties( "DEFEND_.*", {mincamptime=15, maxcamptime=30});

TraceLine

Performs a traceline collision test, and returns the results in a table. TraceLine calls are useful for testing visibility, line of sight, or for getting a collision point along a line.

Parameters: (Vector3 start, Vector3 end, AABB, collision mask, ignore user GameId, use PVS)

  • Vector3 start - Start position of trace line.
  • Vector3 end - End position of trace line.
  • AABB - Pass an AABB if you with the line to have volume, otherwise pass null.
  • Collision Mask - Mask of collision types to test. See global TRACE table.
  • GameId - Ignore this GameId in the traceline. Usually the entity or bot it originates from.
  • UsePVS - true to use PVS (Potentially visible set), false to ignore PVS

Always pass false to not UsePVS if you need collision information from the call to TraceLine. UsePVS=true is useful when all you need to know is whether or not something is blocking the path from start to end, it will not give you the collision position. It is slightly faster in most cases to use PVS as an early out test, but doing so limits the amount of useful information you get back from the function. In many cases you don't need this information, so the extra speed is useful.

Returns: table of results

Results table contains the following information.

  • fraction - 0.0 to 1.0 The ratio along the line the collision took place. Not always valid if UsePVS=true. Example: 0.5 means ray hit half way between the start and end.
  • startsolid - true/false The traceline started inside a solid object. Not always valid if UsePVS=true

Additional properties are available if UsePVS=false and there was a collision.

  • entity - May be null, the GameEntity that was hit in the collision.
  • normal - The Vector3 normal of the collision point.
  • end - The Vector3 world position of the collision.
  • contents - water etc., see global CONTENT table.
  • surface - ice, ladder, see global SURFACE table.

Example: 

 // Do a traceline along a bots facing 1024 units out
 start = b.GetEyePosition();
 end = start + b.GetFacing() * 1024;
 tr = TraceLine(start, end, null, TRACE.SHOT, b.GetGameId(), false);

 // the fraction value tells us of a collision or not. If it's 1, there was no collision. If less than 1 there was a collision.
 if(tr.fraction < 1)
 {
     // tr.startsolid
     // tr.entity
     // tr.normal
     // tr.end
     // tr.contents
     // tr.surface
 }
