recording actions with bot

brine123 · 2017-08-23 00:59:02

is there a way to make the bot record what i place down then when i place a certain block it redoes what I drew

hummerz5 · 2017-08-23 00:59:54

yes

what do you want to do with that information

brine123 · 2017-08-23 01:16:09

i want to make something with it on my bot

hummerz5 · 2017-08-23 01:23:04

OK cool.

what other sorts of questions do you need to ask the folks here so you have a good understanding of how to do that?

brine123 · 2017-08-23 01:24:16

I dont know how to do it so i was hoping for some help

"on my bot" -- so you have some experience here? what does your bot currently do? Did you create it all yourself or is it more a piecemeal creation?

brine123 · 2017-08-23 01:29:37

italkalot helped me with most of it, why does that matter

hummerz5 · 2017-08-23 01:34:06

well, I'm guessing whathaveyoutried.com has an answer but it's probably long-winded.

asking what your bot does and what you did to make it do that helps us know what sort of help you can receive. We could discuss various parts of bot-making and how it relates to your goals if maybe you have experience in a different language or for some reason have a great knowledge of EE packets but not programming. But it's altogether too possible that you don't have knowledge of either of those. In that case, the help you receive might simply have to be spoonfed code. We can easily jump to that conclusion if you admit that you have had little to do with making the bot yourself already.

tl;dr: I ask that because I'd rather discuss good ideas to make things than give an exact working example, especially since you want to integrate this with some system(s) you already have, but might not understand

brine123 · 2017-08-23 01:37:02

i made all the things that were my idea, but the rest was italkalot

nah. What have you made?

brine123 · 2017-08-23 01:40:44

the commands, snake, admin list, mini art

John · 2017-08-23 01:42:07

record each PlayerIOClient.Message that you want to record

hummerz5 · 2017-08-23 01:43:27

:41 PM] atillabyte: well it's easy enough pointing out how it'd be done
1. listne for block sends
2. create a list of those blocks
3. enumerate the list and send those blocks at a later day

I talked this over with the Community and a benevolent member offered the above advice

in other words, you'd store the blocks in a way like the admin list, adding to the collection each time a block is placed like you do for the snake... and then send them all together like mini art

As always, start with a C# tutorial before trying to code a bot. What you're asking isn't simple, but you're obviously not ready.

Hummerz should work in customer support for the elderly. If I had that much patience I'd be golden.

This sounds like an form of animation you want to do. I don't know if you could automatic make a new frame with just blocks.
If you first draw blocks then draw empty blocks over they will be overwritten automatic with empty blocks. But if you draw the blocks, add a new frame then draw empty blocks it will work.
Sure you know how to make a snake and also a list of admins. But I think you need more experience in C# to make this.

Latif · 2017-08-23 14:01:37

Are you serious? You just did these very simple things and now you are asking for more help? You shouldn't call it "my bot" because you haven't done anything yourself. Go watch some tutorials on YouTube, I can't believe you didn't even know how to make an admin list. Why are you making an EE bot as your first application? That's just a very bad idea.

Learn how to use BigDB and PayVault, read the EE protocol documentation, learn how to use initParse, learn how to use EEPhysics. If you did all these things, you don't even have to ask questions here anymore because you already know everything.

People make it as easy as possible for you, but you are just lazy and let other people do it for you. If you're like that, you should stop programming because it's not something for you.

Kikikan · 2017-08-23 16:29:21

Yeah, what you want to do is simpler than the snake bot, recording block placement is part of a snake bot. (You listen for block placements and when a specific block is placed, replace it with another block a few seconds later) => Either you didn't do a damn thing, or just copy pasted it from a tutorial with 0 understanding of what's going on.

Asking a question on this forums in like a one way ticket to hell.
Please chill.

Feels like StackOverflow except smaller

So... I think a few people are overcomplicating this, so Ill try to go though how to solve problems like this for yourself:

Start by splitting the problem into smaller problems, which would be easier to solve, e.g. 1. record what I place down, 2. redo what has been placed.

If possible you can then split the problems into smaller problems, e.g. 1 could be split into get block places and store placement, and 2 could be split into retrieve placements and place blocks.

Once youve done this, you probably notice that there are a few things you should already know how to do, which are detecting, and sending block placements, then all you need to ask (or google) is how to store lists of data so they can be retrieved later (should be much easier )

I beg to differ on the knowledge about BigDB, PayVault and deep knowledge about EEPhysics (basic knowledge is obviously a benefit).
Mostly because you really only need BigDB and PayVault for applications (like EEditor), and rarely for in-game bots (ignoring the version retrieving with BigDB).

I would like to add you'll probably also need some way to start and stop recording and define the "do animation"-block.

My (personal) suggestion would to either add buttons and fields to your bot's window (unless you'd use a console application, of course) or define a command to use with your bot.
I'd personally go for a command going something like ".recordAnimation <key block id>" to start recording ("<key block id>" would be replaced with an id of your "do animation"-block) and once you're finished with your animation use a command something like ".stopRecording".

While recording the animation I'd like to refer to the above quote and stop recording when the "stopRecording" command is used (duh).

why do people have to be so rude

I agree, they didn't have to come off rude and insult you. kind of childish..

I thought we was suppose to help each other..

"How we helping if he just copying and pasting?"

If that is the question then please refer to this as an answer:

That's how i learned and I am still learning. I can do a lot of things with bots now. Since I basically copied off of some Capasha, Xfrogman43, and etc until I learned it myself.
You need a foundation to build off of and all telling him to read pages of information when most of it is useless.
Because I've read websites where the code is complete garbage and I would teach it a different way.. But i don't have that kind of time...

Like seriously? Even Tomahawk told me

you have to try it yourself for you to learn it, reading won't help.

People in programming tend to be rude because "their way is the best way and everyone should use it" and then they get all competitive about what others did wrong instead of actually helping the person who doesn't know what they are doing. -or just being an ****

Competitive more like a assertive as- crossing words over the internet. Protruding towards nothing better than just being a non-helpful programmer. I know I wouldn't want a stubborn helper.

[General]
Also, if the community going to act like this I won't refer people to the forums anymore to ask for help.
