Alright guys, I've had an idea for a while now about programmable bots. Please don't tl;dr this and read it carefully.
Programmable bots. I'm sure lots of us can script these slightly, but they're mostly just so they follow you and attack you, not very good. Well, my idea is that ROBLOX adds bots. You can customize them and make them look however you want (they don't have to be ROBLOXians) and program them to do different things. Example, let's say you tick a box in which you either want it an independent AI or a controlled bot. You could tick a few boxes that make them Passive, Hostile or Hostile when attacked (or others) and you could make them perhaps walk around aimlessly (avoiding objects in the way could be an option) or to walk towards once or back and forth to and from a certain point. You could change their walkspeeds (could be good for pop-outs in horror games), etc etc.
Comments, suggestions, pros and cons? Be constructive. |

Another idea: As perhaps servailance (spelling) robots you could control them as if you were them, like a surrogate. |

Support because it is hard finding a zombie or bot that works and it always falls apart or just doesn't work!
WE NEED THIS

2nd one is pretty much the RC series.
1st, not a bad idea, but those scripters will feel bad for all their work is now mush |

@Cart
Thank you. And as I said, they just follow people around and attack them. |
|
|
@unknown
True on both counts, but the scripters could perhaps appreciate this as it would make their lives a bit easier. |

You get a good support from me, I do like the idea. |
|
|
|
It would be best to just script them... |
|
|
@Notun
Why? As I said, they just follow people around. |
|
|
But thats what ROBLOX's common AIs do '-.- |

Actually, In the test server IN roblox's stamper tool place, there is a bot that runs around, jumps every now and then, and talks to you when you enter the game.
I just checked, but he isn't on normal roblox. Support on the idea anyways. |

@Notun
I meant the scripted ones. These programmable ones don't.
@Rowpunk
Oh yeah, I remember that. Hm, thanks for the support anyways. |

Then SCRIPT IT NOT TO DO THAT!
Thats what you do! Script an AI that DOESNT just run around. Make an AI that can pathfind. |

ohai black.
jimbo and I might start up RSFL over the summer. Wanna join again? This will be our last attempt to revive RSFL. |

"These programmable ones don't."
So, they're programmed in Java or C++? |
|
|
@Smilex
Of course, I might make a new logo that's much better.
@Pugzy
Visual Basic, of course, same thing roblox uses regularly. |
|
|
The game isn't made in Visual Basic. |
|
|
Lol! I wonder if its possible to run a complete online game in Visual Basic...
Probably not, unless you want ROBLOX standards >_> |

Don't support.
There is a reason ROBLOX has incorporated Lua into its game. If you want this, go make your own. ROBLOX isn't here to make stuff for you, it is just here to provide the resources you need to make what you want. |
|
|
There is still LOTS of stuff you can still script on roblox. |
