Troll Bot

I was bored so I made this bot, it follows the closest person and shoots bursts at them, useful for trolling when you add 40 of them

  Code:

---------TROLLBOT
---------by fordcars

items = { }

function getName() -- Called once
    return("tROLL bOT")
end

function main() -- This is the first code ran, after loose code
    targetShip = nil
end


function onTick()
    table.clear(items)
    targetShip = findClosest(findAllObjects(items, ObjType.Ship))

    if(targetShip ~= nil) then
        local targetShiploc = targetShip:getLoc()
        bot:setThrustToPt( targetShiploc )
        bot:setAngle(targetShiploc)
        bot:fireWeapon(Weapon.Burst)
    end
end

Updated for 019!

changed 1 line.
be inspired!
