Editing AveragedBearingOffsetTargeting

Robo Home | Changes | Preferences | AllPages

As simple as [[Targeting]] gets - beyond HeadOnTargeting. Yet, surprisingly effective.
* Keep book on the average difference in bearing to the enemy from when you fire to when the bullet is supposed to have hit.
* Add this averaged bearing diff to the absolute bearing of the enemy and fire.
It can be improved by:
* Using a rolling average.
* Segmenting the statistics
** Maybe by distance
** Maybe by delta bearing from last scan (like in [[MakoHT/Code]])
** Maybe by both
** Maybe something else (suggestions anyone?)

The NanoLauLectrik-style pattern matcher pattern matchs basically this (distance is factored out, though). It seems a good alternative to averaging it. -- [[Kuuran]]

a simply segmented average offset gun seem like it would be really good for a nano bot. i think i'll try it. --[[andrew]]

In order to do this you need waves, yes?  If you have waves already you may as well make a GF gun, surely. -- [[Tango]]

Yes, you need waves. And it's not a very good targeting method anyway. It looked good at first. But that turned out to be success with movement. -- [[PEZ]]

i'm doing it without waves. i'll post my bot if it works. --[[andrew]]

Without waves?  The only ways I can see of doing this without waves is with either VirtualBullets or RealBullets, the first being over complicated, and the second being too slow.  I'm interested to see your idea... -- [[Tango]]

i have some weird idea forming in my head that might turn into somthing decent. it's part of my quest to create an original gun like mike did in mz.adept. --[[andrew]]

There are, of course, techniques like those used in ThnikkaBot and Nemo 2 using lateral velocity sums. -- [[Kawigi]]

I posted alot of stuff about using wave-free guns awhile back, including a lateral velocity method. Just search the wiki for this stuff, Tango. -- [[Kuuran]]
