TravelBot

TravelBot is a minecraft bot written for advanced macros mod v9.2.0 that provides the user with a set of tools for marking paths in your desired minecraft world, and a bot which can use those paths to navigate to set destinations.

Path types

TravelBot is aware of paths with different travel speeds (provided the user marks them correctly) and finds the fastest path to it's destination accordingly. When paths are rendered, different path types are notated via different colors. Each node has a type. Path type is determined by what type of nodes a path is connecting. If a path is connecting two nodes of the same type, the path will be the same type as the nodes. Otherwise the path is "normal" type.

Normal

These paths are green and indicate a normal path that a bot can walk on. By sprinting on these paths, players can travel up to 5.6 m/s.

Iceroad

These paths are blue and indicate a packed ice floor WITH a 2 block high ceiling. By sprint jumping on these paths, players can travel up to 16.9 m/s.

Roofless Iceroad

These paths are light-blue and indicate a packed ice floor WITHOUT a 2 block high ceiling. By sprint jumping on these paths, players can travel up to 9.23 m/s.

Rail

These paths are grey and indicate a minecart rail line. This path type is currently used for analytics rather than a different method of travel. As such, these are traveled in the same manner as normal paths.

Node Markers

Nodes may contain colored blocks inside of them that signify different things

Destination

A small red cube. Signifies a named node destination that is able to be selected by users for travel.

Selected Node

A medium yellow cube. Signifies that the node is currently selected. The currently selected node is used by path notators to modify nodes and paths.

Usage

Key Bindings

Users should use Advanced Macros to bind keyboard keys to

travelTo.lua toggleRender.lua

if they intend to notate paths of their own, users should also use Advanced Macros to bind keyboard keys to all the .lua files in the nodeManagementTools/ directory.

Travel

• toggleRender.lua will toggle a 3D hud which visualizes all nodes and paths in a 100 block horizontal square around the player. Pressing toggleRender.lua multiple times will cycle between normal visualization of 3D hud paths, Xrayed vision of 3D hud paths, and hidding all HUD items.

• travelTo.lua will check if there is a nearby path or node within 10 block walking distance, and present the user with a list of destinations to travel to from there. Currently all known destinations are displayed and as a result, some destinations will not be travlable to if there is no known path to it. If there is not a nearby path or node within 10 block walking distance travelTo.lua will refuse to run. As such, it is recommended to turn on toggleRender.lua in order to find nearby paths or nodes before running travelTo.lua

Path notation

toggleRender.lua should be running before using any path notation tools.

The names of the .lua files in nodeManagementTools/ correspond with creating, modifying, and removing nodes

• selectNearestNode.lua Selects node closest to player if it is less than 10 blocks away
• connectNearestwithSelected.lua connects (creates path between) node closest to player and selected node
• createAndSelectNewNode.lua creates new node of selected pathType at the player's current position, selects the new node
• deleteSelectedNode.lua removes all connections to selected node and then deletes node
• extendFromSelected.lua creates node of selected pathType at the player's current position, connects (creates path between) the new node and last selected node, selects new node.
• makeSelectedADestination.lua requires a destination name from use user, assigns that destination name to the selected node
• moveSelected.lua moves selected node to player's current position
• removeConnectionClosestAndSelected.lua removes any connection between selected node and node closest to player
• removeSelectedDestination.lua removes destination name and status from selected node
• selectPathType.lua toggles between path types used during the creation of any new nodes
• setPathTypeOfSelectedNode.lua changes the path type of the selected node to the selected path type
• injectNodeInClosestPath.lua injects a node at the closest point in any path to the player if it is less then 10m away

Importing TravelBot Into Other Bots

You can add TravelBot to your repository as a git submodule by using the command git submodule add https://github.com/SleepingFox8/AM-TravelBot. This will import the latest version of this repository into your github rebository as a subdirectory.

From there you can import TravelBot to your own .lua scripts via:

travelBot = require ("AM-TravelBot/travelBot")

Library functions can be called like so:

-- TravelBot nodeID of certain destination
wheatFarmStartPoint = "0x242A348118D1503C9BA47C7F505E99D2"

travelBot.travelTo(wheatFarmStartPoint)

If this repo updates, your repo's submodule will not update automatically. To update your repository's submodule, cd into your submodule's directory and run git pull origin master.
