BeamNG.py Artificial Intelligence

I am trying to control the car intelligently by setting it waypoints in the code. The problem is that the car still needs user input to go from point A to Point B.

Code:

bng.load_scenario(scenario)
bng.start_scenario()
# Make the vehicle's AI span the map
vehicle.ai_set_mode('span')
vehicle.ai_set_target(pos=(-713, 70, 118))

How to make car AI control using python. Secondly, how to set user input to false.

The options are

Code:

            * ``disabled``: Turn the AI off (default state)
            * ``random``: Drive from random points to random points on the map
            * ``span``: Drive along the entire road network of the map
            * ``manual``: Drive to a specific waypoint, target set separately
            * ``chase``: Chase a target vehicle, target set separately
            * ``flee``: Flee from a vehicle, target set separately
            * ``stopping``: Make the vehicle come to a halt (AI disables itself
                                                             once the vehicle
                                                             stopped.)

 

You can't as far as I know.

You need to use LUA.

 

Can you provide me the directions that how I will use the lua for AI control of cars. I know how to declare waypoints and car in the game. What I have to do next.

 

does this mean the update is near?

 

Must’ve been near last week too by that logic...

 

No, it’s because it’s a complex question so he would need to ask people like estama or other programmers for info.

Although the update is near, it’s been speculated for the 21st of December with pretty good evidence backing it up.

 

can u link this so called evidence

 

tdev said it will be released a couple days before Christmas and someone mentioned large updates are almost always on Fridays so therefore the only date that fits is the 21st. Although there is no way to say for sure, this is the best guess. Also this is incredibly off topic so let’s not discuss this any further.

(I can’t be bothered to find the links because I’m on mobile but it’s either in update speculation thread or the ‘where are we going?’ Thread)

 

Guys. I add the 5 pathway points and 3 cars to prefab file. Now i want the cars to follow the waypoint (AI control) in the scenario. How will i do that with the lua code.

 

I recommend you to download this scenario and examine how it is made:

The correct way to specify a target waypoint for the AI from Python is ai_set_waypoint().

 

Eh, since when there has been such python library? I feel horribly outdated here

 

It's been in development for a few months, mainly exposing BeamNG functionality in a research-oriented way. One of the more fun uses will be developing OpenAI Gym environments for deep learning experiments, though we just now started that with a simple race around the WC USA track. More to come.
