OK updated and added various entries. Arexack

Giles's thoughts

Needs an introduction explaining what a state-machine is and how Oolite uses them in its AI.

Also how AI receive messages (in the form of strings) and processes messages about every five seconds (depending on the pauseAI set), except when asked to react to a certain message.

A simple state machine should be given as an example and then shown as a property list.


Note that I'm likely to expand the use of AI in Oolite:- ship pilots will also have AI which will receive copies of messages sent to the ship's AI, but pilots AI's will perform a more 'strategic' role.

'AddFuel #' ... is it not 'awardFuel #'? Arexack Mo1:52AM 23jan06

Arexack's meddling

I just reorganised the entries into functional groups.

Should we keep this list format (for linking purposes) or replace the === with * for better overview?

I like it. it's better this way with the hypertext index than replacing them with * rows, I think. Murgh


this new line by 82.171.18.144..

= checkForShips: type

Returns with shipsFound_number = #.

in a script or planetinfo, yes but does this work in AI? Murgh 

Don't see why not. A_H

Now I find myself asking: why is this method included in the AI-methodlist? A_H

Other scripting question: condition = (A , B , C) do = action is this an AND or an OR function?

An AND fuction could be built like: 

condition = A
do = condition B
     do = condition C
          do = action
