Defend your castle bot

[james3mg]

Well, I lied...I found enough things I wanted to do that I released this one new update!

New features:

-Supports building of demolition lab

-Holding the Ctrl key overrides the script, allowing you easy access to your bombers

-does not require compliation in Vista

Bug fixes:

-Growing castle supported

Have fun!

---Original Post:---

I'd never do this for a multiplayer game, but it's not hurting anyone to bot a one-player game!

Anyway, I needed something to occupy my mind this Friday afternoon, and since I'd recently heard of Defend your Castle through the Wii, I though I'd check it out. The game is OK, about a 30-minute time waster for me before I got sick of it. But I thought it might be an interesting challenge to bot. So here it is. It works pretty well, it'll get you to level 14 without ANY wall upgrades (just buy the temple and archery range when you can and it'll know what to do). I didn't try it with upgraded walls...I'm sure you could get far beyond that level.

I know someone's going to ask me to add this or that to this...let me be clear. You may use this script, modify it, whatever, but I'm done with it. It's extremely unlikely that I'll ever touch it again. I've only used it on IE7.0 and it only works at the site whose URL is in the script.

If you wanted to develop the script further, I'd recommend:

-adding a override hotkey (for instance, hold space to disable all automatic movements so you can take control for a moment) [easy- just use "and _IsPressed(0x20)" at the end of the WinActive line]

-moving the 'completed convert' search region to the right so that after you have a temple it always leaves one convert in reserve (useful for someone who wanted to make the demolition guys) [easy- that'd be the search within the "If $ArcheryBuilt Then" condition]

-figure out a logical formula for splitting converts between wizards, builders and archers, etc. (I didn't play enough to get into this- I did a little with the demo guys, but none with the wizards) [not so easy]

-allow tray icon menu access to the vars telling the script if archery, temple, etc is built

-changing the coordinates to reflect client area coords, rather than window coords.

The script will run only as long as the game is active and running, so to access the tray icon (thereby killing or pausing the script) just change one of those conditions. The 'p' button pauses the game, so when you do that, the script will hold until the game starts again, but also you could press the windows key or alt+tab to switch window focus away from the game and the script will stop moving your mouse. Also, since holding the Ctrl key overrides all movement, you could hold that button and do whatever you need with your mouse

Note that if you buy things like a temple or archery range then later on die and restart the game, you should restart the bot or it will assume it's still the same game and that you've still got whatever you bought last game...so it would try and drop guys in the castle when you don't have a temple, for instance. Bad thing.

So for what it is, here you go. Let me know if you enjoy it- I'd love to hear it

nice work i tried to make a bot for the same game a while ago!

And did you succeed? Did you incorporate any more functions than my script?

Edit: forgot to say thanks

Edited May 30, 2008 by james3mg

[monoceres]

Nice!

Remember when I was 12-13 years old and played this game for like hours

This one is a bit nicer to the wrist

[TnTProductions]

1 funtion that your forgot to place was very important something to let people exit out of your script! I had problems getting out of the script with the mouseclicks so add this at the top:

hotkeyset("{ESC}", "Terminate")
function Terminate()
Exit

Ps: this may not be in correct functions so just check up on it i havent used this func in a while

Yes, that's fine...I seemed to be having troubles with that on my computer (I think there's some script I wrote a while ago that's running and reserved the hotkeys I tried). Anyway, that's why I mentioned in my first post that pausing the game or switching the active window will release your mouse, allowing you to get to the tray icon. Did you try that?

[TnTProductions]

Ok i tried that i didnt notice you posted that ill make sure to read the FULL post before i say anything lol

I didnt have to compile and it worked fine i have a Vista Home Basic

Ps: i also found a problem with the mouse clicking off the screen onto advertisements when it was throwing man into the air or finding it happened a couple times

That's the only version of Vista that doesn't offer aero, which is what causes the desktop composition pixelgetcolor issue, so I guess I wasn't specific enough If you've got the transparent windows in Vista, you'll have to follow my instructions.

This will disabled desktop composition on vista.

[james3mg]

Wow...that's REALLY good to know! Does it have any side-effects on XP, requiring that I check the OS and conditionally run it?

Thanks for sharing!!!

[JRSmile]

Hey nice thingy

i have written a bot some time ago, it does not automatically throw enemies into the temple and such, but its very efficient so that i got to stage 16 or somesting without one lost health point. the big problem are the juge enemies which have to be defeated by bombs

to use my bot just hold space bar and hover over the enemy

#include <misc.au3>
Opt("MouseClickDragDelay",1)
while 1
    if _IsPressed(20) Then
        $pos = MouseGetPos()
        $pos2 = PixelSearch($pos[0]-25,$pos[1]-25,$pos[0]+25,$pos[1]+25, 0xCCCCCC)
        if @error then ContinueLoop
        MouseDown("primary")
        MouseMove($pos2[0], $pos2[1]-450, 1)
        MouseUp("primary")
        MouseMove($pos[0], $pos[1], 1)
    EndIf
    Sleep(1)
WEnd

Best regards,

[james3mg]

Well, surprise, surprise.

I found enough things that could be improved (and a few hours to kill this weekend), so I've made one revised release of this script...it's a lot better. It would easily allow you to get beyond level 14, where the big guys come.

Enjoy!

Hello, i made a bot for this game awhile back.

might as well share it

It made it to level 40 befor i stoped it.

press f6 to start and stop the bot.

Hello I'm new AutoIt, I've had courses in Basic, C++, Javascript, and Assembly so I should quickly catch on here.

I'll be taking your codes James and Alek to blend together and add my own changes to see if I can make a better bot, I'll add your names into the header for using your codes as sources.

I'll be glad for any ideas and opinions after I post the finished code.

[Kitsune]

I made many improvements using the previous scripts as source material and hacking them to bits and the result is a bot that can easily reach lvl 30.

It has support for all facilities save for the Demo upgrade,

uses the Bomb spell whenever the gate is being crowded(with 10 second cooldown timer to prevent waste of mana),

I left in the ability to pause the script briefly for user intervention,

added ability for bot to automatically use the Convert spell,

fixed a glitch found in Alek's code where the AI wastefully used the Kill spell on levels 12 & 13,

better detection of attackers adjacent to the gate,

changed the _MouseClickDrag() user-function to react quicker,

fixed the code snippet that auto-repairs between waves to stop after the health gauge reached an appropriate level,

Auto-detects any flagged facility added manually by the user,

evenly distributes converts in a linear fashoin (i.e. skips over an unavailable facility).

Unfortunately there are currently serious lag issues in debug sections 1,2, & 7. As well as some moderate lag in debug section 3. These lag issues are noticeable starting at around level 16~17 and exponentially increases with each wave.

I have some concepts that may prove capable of reducing the lag and possibly improve the effectiveness of the script, but please give me any tips or ideas that you may wish to share
