Bot Characteristics
Due to the various bots having different characteristics, not all of the
bot definition commands work as might seem obvious.
|Number | Description | Notes
‡=======‡===============‡
|0 | Cleaner droid | 'BotClever' defines the amount of
| | | random turning the bot has. A high
| | | value indicated lots of turning, a
| | | low one means little (or none).
+-------+---------------+
|1 | Chasing droid | 'BotClever' defines how far away
| | | the player must be from the bot for
| | | it to start chasing. Each unit counts
| | | as 1/2 a block.
+-------+---------------+
|2 | Red walker |
+-------+---------------+
|3 | Blue walker |
+-------+---------------+
|4 | Blocker drone | No non-standard commands
+-------+---------------+
|5 | Gun placement | 'BotClever' defines how far away
| | | the player must be from the bot for
| | | it to open up.
| | | 'BotSpeed' controls how fast the
| | | bullets go when they are fired.
| | | 'BotPath <A>,<B>' controls the bullet
| | | type and length. <A>=type, <B>=the
| | | distance the bullet will travel.
'BotClever <intelligence>' has a different interpretation for each bot, and
the meanings are shown above.
'BotSpeed <speed>' generally defines the bot motion speed, with one unit
representing the bot moving 1/16th of a block per 1/50th of a second.
'BotArmour <armour>' defines the number of shots taken to destroy the bot
with a standard shot being one hit, the power gun being 2, and the rocket
launcher counting as 3 hits.
'BotPath <min>,<max>' defines the minimum and maximum horizontal position of
the bots. The bot will automatically turn round, or stop chasing when it is
about to leave these bounds.
'BotFire' defines how long it takes after a bot has fired for it to be able
to fire again. Each unit counts for 1/50th of a second, so the maximum time
is just over 5 seconds.
Bullet Types
3=Standard bullet
4=Missile
5=Freeze ray (only works for bots shooting other bots)
