clones

How do you make more than one clone at a time?

Hi,

And welcome to the forums!

I believe adding multiple bots at once is a server admin feature only at the moment - using the '/addbots' command. sam686 knows more about it than I.

Thanks! what about clones?

I may be misunderstanding, but if you are talking about the clone.bot, then that follows the same rules as any robot.

As for adding clonebot, try /addbot 0 clone sam686
Add multiple bots have an extra number. /addbots 10 0 clone sam686
To clone yourself, put in your player name instead of my name. If your name have spaces in it, put a quote around it like "name have spaces".
For first parameter of addbot, that 0 is first team, 1 is second team.

here is the code to clone bot:

  Code:

clonename = ""

foundship = nil

function main()
  foundship = nil
  clonename = arg[1]
  bot:subscribe(PlayerLeftEvent)
end

function getName()
 return("clone_bot")
end

function onPlayerLeft(playerinfo_who_left)
  foundship = nil
end

function onTick()
  if foundship == nil then

    local items = bot:findGlobalItems(ShipType)
    for ind, it in ipairs(items) do
     if it:getPlayerInfo():getName() == clonename then
      foundship = it:getPlayerInfo()
     end
    end

  else
    local ship = foundship:getShip()
    bot:setWeapon(ship:getActiveWeapon())
    bot:setReqLoadout(ship:getReqLoadout())
    bot:copyMoveFromObject(ShipType, ship)
  end
end

This bot will not work on a release version of 015a and older, you may need to wait for next version or compile my version yourself. For now, clone bot only runs of my server and a few others.
