Detailed Instructions

Description

Build offset is an extension to the default build goal that defines where bots build movable constructibles from

Setup

See the Fastrack example at the top of the page for an example setup.

Properties

Properties can be set with the goal_setproperty command assuming that the goal has been selected.

group

A group is a method of organizing sets of goals. One advantage to this is that all goals in a group can be enabled or disabled in one line of script rather than seperate goal types requiring additional lines to enable or disable them. Assigning roles to a group is also possible as an alternative to assigning each individual goal a role.

syntax: /bot goal_setproperty group <string groupName>

example: /bot goal_setproperty group myGroup

role

See the section on bot roles.

syntax: /bot goal_setproperty role <role mask>

example: /bot goal_setproperty role 1

stance

Set the stance the bot should assume while performing this action.

syntax: /bot goal_setproperty stance <string stance>

example: /bot goal_setproperty stance crouch

values: stand crouch prone

tagname

Sets the name of the goal. This can optionally be set when passed as the optional parameter in the goal_create command. Useful for renaming goals.

syntax: /bot goal_setproperty tagname <string name>

example: /bot goal_setproperty tagname myGoalName

vehicle

This property attaches the goal to the specified vehicle.

syntax: /bot goal_setproperty vehicle <vehicle goal name>

example: /bot goal_setproperty vehicle MOVER_truck

note: only use this for build goals that are movable

offset

Sets a position where a bot should build the goal from

syntax: /bot goal_setproperty offset <int index>

example: /bot goal_setproperty offset 0

note: only use this for build goals that are movable. use usepoints for static positioned goals
