ROBOT ERROR

  Code:

-- Selects the appropriate weapon to use for a specific target
function selectWeapon(target)
    if(target ~= nil) then
        local weapon = nil
        -- Currently decides based solely on distance away
        if(point.distSquared(target:getPos(),botPos) > 100000) then
            weapon = Weapon.Phaser
        elseif(point.distSquared(target:getPos(),botPos) < 50000)               (point.distSquared(target:getPos(),botPos) > 10000) then
                bot:activateModule(Module.Turbo)
        else
            weapon = Weapon.Burst
                bot:activateModule(Module.Shield)
        end
        return weapon
    end
end
 

This code doesn't work. It's obvious the elseif line is done wrong. explain it please!

I also want to change that else statement into an elseif, see below

else becomes
elseif energy >20% (enough energy to use burst and shield)

else would instead be a run away command

Maybe I'm mistreading this, but...

  Code:

elseif(point.distSquared(target:getPos(),botPos) < 50000)               (point.distSquared(target:getPos(),botPos) > 10000) then

doesn't make any sense. Try removing one of the two comparisons.

or add an "and" or "or" between them
