Tankleader 2: Idea for multiple Pathways

[fl4sHb4nGeR]

Hi Dev and the rest of the community,

i want to talk about an idea for multiple pathways in one profiles... a normal one way profile looks like this here, out of the profile thread:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Profile>
  <Map>10_hills</Map>
     <Hotspots>  
         <Hotspot Team="1" X="147.0363" Y="15.47462" Z="12.69673" Type="Normal" /><!-- 14.-->
         <Hotspot Team="1" X="98.89081" Y="12.25938" Z="282.4362" Type="Normal" /><!--21.-->
          <Hotspot Team="2" X="339.0369" Y="20.21" Z="106.9216" Type="Normal" /><!--15.-->
          <Hotspot Team="2" X="147.0363" Y="15.47462" Z="12.69673" Type="Normal" /><!-- 14.-->
     </Hotspots>
</Profile>

so my idea would be to implement "Crosspoints" where the bot chooses via random draw one of the "subroutes"... this could look like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Profile>
  <Map>10_hills</Map>
     <Hotspots>
         <Hotspot Team="2" X="339.0369" Y="20.21" Z="106.9216" Type="Normal" /><!--15.-->
         <Crosspoint Team="2" X="339.0369" Y="20.21" Z="106.9216" Type="Normal" Route=1;2> 
         <Hotspot Team="1" Route="1" X="147.0363" Y="15.47462" Z="12.69673" Type="Normal" /><!-- 14.-->
         <Hotspot Team="1" Route="2" X="98.89081" Y="12.25938" Z="282.4362" Type="Normal" /><!--21.-->
      </Hotspots>
</Profile>

the <Crosspoint>-Tag defines the hotspot as crosspoint for Team, Type and the "Route"-parameter defines the two subroutes Tankleader can choose randomly.

After reaching a Crosspoint the bot randomly chooses one of 2 (or maybe more routes) and follows this new route until the next <Crosspoint>-Tag

This would really improve the profilemaking and the overall functionality of the bot, since my programming skill are very poor i don't know if it's easier to be done with a plugin or direct in the bot navigation itself, but i wanted to share my thoughts.

greetz fl4sHb4nGeR?!

Would be great, this have several routes and if there are hundreds, even better haha

I hope you take note ^ ^

That's actually a very good idea, I like it. The way I'd probably do it is have a <Path> attribute in the profile which contains a series of hotspots for a specific team. Sounds good?

Yup, there only one very small probleme here veery tiny leetle ONE, -Will Hotsppot Recordings comes from air or will they Magically spawn with out effort? (this is not directed to you Aevitas but to some one else...)

I?d like to see HotspotLogger what make whole map recorded and documented Hotspots in one click....
