Die and Respawn

Posted by jacob.schrum on Thu 08 of Jul, 2010 00:26 CEST
Is there a way to make a bot immediately die and respawn as though it had been killed in the game? I don't want to completely stop the bot from running. I just want it to respawn elsewhere.

The reason is that I'm evolving bots, which sometimes results in bad behavior. In certain situations, it seems better to punish the bot by killing and respawning than to waste the entire evaluation being stuck.

Hi Jacob,

I am newbie here but having quick glance through the api I think if you issue this command
this.body.getAction().respawn(); you should get your result as the guys describe it the respawn method kills the bot and allows to reappear at the given location. Give it a shot and see what you get.
