S_Bot bug

When I add an S_Bot it stays for a while but then leaves. I was hosting a dedicated server and this is what I got on the log:

***ROBOT ERROR*** Error handling event Tick: ...rary/Application Support/Bitfighter/robots/S_Bot.bot:55: calling 'getVel' on bad self (MoveObject expected, got userdata -- did you use '.' instead of ':'?). Shutting bot down.

Interesting. Here are lines 54 and 55 from my copy of s_bot:

  Code:

local bulletLoc = bullet:getLoc()
local bulletVel = bullet:getVel()

I notice that 1) it properly uses a ":" to run the getVel method; and 2) we successfully ran a very similar command (getLoc()) immediately prior without problem, so I know the bullet object is legit.

So could you put the code of your s_bot.bot file on pastie.org, and post the link here? You can find the file in your robots folder. If you need to know where that is, hit F7 a few times.

Thanks!

Nah, it works now.

Should I still copy the code and put it there?

Wierd, it happened again when I had max amount of bots and sam686 joined. :O

More weird, i joined and added max number of bots and then some of them left after a while, bot not all did.

Please post your code!

Lamp, are you running a development build? If so, there is a Lua bug that will cause this problem. I am trying to fix it, but it is very tricky.
