Detailed Instructions

Description

Mount is a goal for the bots to mount vehicles with mountable guns

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

vehicle

This property attaches the goal to the specified vehicle.

syntax: /bot goal_setproperty vehicle <vehicle goal name>

example: /bot goal_setproperty vehicle MOVER_tank

offset

Sets a position where a bot should mount the goal from

syntax: /bot goal_setproperty offset <int index>

example: /bot goal_setproperty offset 0

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

aim

Sets the aiming behavior of the bot while it is mounted. Default is to aim in the direction the vehicle is moving. As such, this is an optional setting.

Valid types are:

opposite - aim in the opposite direction the vehicle is moving / facing
position - aim towards the given position
random - randomly aim around all 360 degrees, calculated every 1.5 seconds
velocity - aim in the direction the vehicle is moving / facing

syntax: /bot goal_setproperty aim <string type>

example: /bot goal_setproperty aim opposite

note: when using position, the position is automatically set based on your current aim direction
