Hi all,
I'm new to DB. After setting up and running my bot for a while, I got some suggestion for the pathing in profile.
Some MoveTo elements in the profiles are simply to make sure we cleared everything in the map; they are not the main path. When my bot dies, it will go back using the same path, going in that corner, then back out again. So is it too much trouble if we can set some path to be "mandatory" (the main path) and others just need to go once?
So instead of
we have
So if a path is not mandatory, once it is done, it can be removed during that run. If the bot dies, it only need to run the main paths.
The "backtrack" is just for the profile maker's convenience: If a path is "backtrack", once the bot runs it, it will run that path again backward. So the profile maker only needs to specify "go in", and the bot can still know the way out (back to main path).
Any path will default to mandatory="True" backtrack="False" if not specify.
What do you guys think?
