Shooting

The .shoot command is one of the most vital in DB. With it a bot can feed, dispose of waste, shoot poison or venom, and affect another bots memory.

Sysvars:

Shooting: .shoot 7 .shootval 8 .kills 220 .backshot 900 .aimshoot 901

Basics

Whenever a non zero value is stored in .shoot, a shot is produced. This shot by default fires directly along the bot's eye's vector (that is, which direction it's looking). The shot's basic strength and range are determined by a bot's body.

Feeding Shots

• -1 - Hunt for Energy Shots
• -2 - Give energy Shoot, bread and butter feeding type. -1 and -6 shots also return this.
• -6 - Give Body Shots

Waste Poison and Venom

• -4 - Waste Shots(coupled with .shootval to determine waste size)
• -5 - Poison Shots(fired automatically at attacker provided defender has poison, cannot be fired manually through the DNA) The number stored in ploc determines the percise location that is zeroed, if no number is stored a random location 1-1000 is chosen.
• -3 - Venom Shots(can be fired at other bot provided venom stored)
