#4717: Nullbot performance
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: darkling | Owner: NoQ
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: unspecified
Component: NullBot (AI) | Version: master but not 3.2
Operating System: All/Non-Specific |
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------
Nullbot appears to be running slower with the master build. I've attached
a nullbot log file from a couple of games (they both lasted about 2
hours). In both cases the check attack function in nullbot is hitting the
time constraints (>=limit and >=limit/2) more frequently than I remember
it doing in previous versions. On faster computer it might not be so bad
(mine is starting to date), but it still seems like a lot. it hit the
>=limit/2 over 450 times and the >=limit over 70 times in both games.
I think that part of it is the attackTarget function particuarly lines
234-237 in tactics.js for nullbot that are the culprit
{{{
if (droid.droidType !== DROID_SENSOR)
orderDroidObj(droid, DORDER_ATTACK, target);
else
orderDroidObj(droid, DORDER_OBSERVE, target);
}}}
since these lines can order a unit to attack an object that it can't hit
(vtol).
{{{
if (droid.canHitGround ===true && !isVTOL(target))
orderDroidObj(droid, DORDER_ATTACK, target);
else if(droid.canHitAir ===true && isVTOL(target))
orderDroidObj(droid, DORDER_ATTACK, target);
else
orderDroidObj(droid, DORDER_OBSERVE, target);
}}}
these lines just check to make sure that a droid can attack it's target.
