[WIP] GuiltySpark

The save button now serializes your graph into a file, which can be opened again later:
(opened bg.wmap after clearing the old one, and continued editing with move 5)


edit: I also added a little line to the "you" circle to show which direction you're facing

Pathfinding is almost done. Here you can see it find and highlight the nodes you need to visit to reach the goal.



It doesn't actually move the player yet, and it fails on any subsequent attempts because I forgot to reset node cost values at the end of the algorithm. Right now it's set up so that when the program can eventually follow a path, you can still type in goto # and it will start following the new path immediately. This will allow the final version of the program to make decisions on its own and change its destination when it does. I also have to correct the cost calculation for teleporter links, so the program will know their distance is 0 and will prefer them over walking to the destination.

That or retain information about nearby vehicles which it can hop into and drive :P

So I'm simulating key presses using keybd_event, but it won't move the player around. Only when I open up the ingame console does it type WWWWWWWWWWWW.

Anyone know what's up?

edit: I've tried the SendKeys class (says Halo isn't processing messages) and user32.dll's PostMessage function, but that always returns 0 meaning it didn't work. I've only had *success* with the keybd_event function.

I too want to know the problem with that. I used to have that problem while making one of those things that makes you jump up and down :X

[Con]

Used to? Does that mean you found an alternative or gave up?

[TEMPTii]

Gave up. :S

Good news, I found the solution. Limited suggested I use SendInput instead.
you'll need these

EDIT: success!
HaloBot has just walked from one side of bloodgulch to the other following the paths perfectly. You can even look around while it does this; it calculates the right combination of WASD to use based on the angle you're looking and where the goal is.

[Cortexian]

This will be awesome when it's finished... When I want to go idle or AFK for awhile I can just enable this plus an aimbot and auto-shoot bot!

Wouldn't you also need some way to get it to lock onto people in the first place? :S

Also, Conscars, what happens if you try to type while it's moving? Do you end up with a chatbox full of "wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwsssssssssddddddddaaaaaa aaa"?
