@James.Reynolds how do I check what items I have available, I don’t see any details under Player Objects

PlayerObjects

The PlayerObjects list contains all player objects on the map. The list contains of a guid for each object and the objects data.

The order of the data will not change, and is as follows:

  • Size - The radius of the object
  • Speed - The speed it is able to move at
  • Heading - The direction it is looking towards
  • GameObjectType - The type of object
    • 1: Player
  • X Position - The x position on the cartesian plane
  • Y Position - The y position on the cartesian plane
  • Active Effects - Bitwise effects currently on affect of the bot
    • This is a cumulative bit flag, represented by:
      • 0 = No effect
      • 1 = Afterburner active
      • 2 = Asteriod Field
      • 4 = Gas cloud
    • For example, if a ship has all three effects the active effect will be 7.

@James.Reynolds now worries, I figured it out on my own.

Hi James

my bot is not running in the competition. It throws the following message on the bot.txt file and then does not run. It looks as ifSignalRCoreClient throws error messages and then shuts down the communication between the bot and the game engine
