Looking for a way to communicate with bots like dota does

[deth_lord]

I'm trying to find a way to send a bot stats from a game like dota does. Where it keeps track of skills and such. Anyone know where i could find some info on this?

 

[Gekigengar]

i don't quite understand, maybe some examples?

 

[deth_lord]

example like say i kill 3 heroes in dota and kill 20 creeps. That data be passed to a bot through the game. And when i give the hostbot a command such as !statsdota it would display the stats of the person. Such as dotacash. But NOT dota so i can use for other games.

so, you makin a host bot program?..

i guess assigning them to save variables from jass or warcraft isn't that hard. since they could connect with warcraft hosting systems. why not connect
to the game's variables.

from what i am seeing is, the hostbot datas doesn't connect with eachother, except battlenet ones.

maybe they had a big bot database server?

so all hostbot datas will be transferred
and be downloaded again by all bots.

it is the job of the bot, not dota anyways, maybe getting similar creep kill variables and hero kill will do the job.

 

[deth_lord]

how would a bot go about keeping track of such things?

 

[Gekigengar]

i dont know :/
but the host bot could find itself a way to blend with wc3 system, why will they not be able to track such a thing?..

well, i don't know abt the details, can't help, sorry.

 

[deth_lord]

i'll try the bot site maybe i can find info there

maybe just make multiboard or someting ?

 

[deth_lord]

multiboard? how would that effect how the bot reads the data?

example like say i kill 3 heroes in dota and kill 20 creeps. That data be passed to a bot through the game. And when i give the hostbot a command such as !statsdota it would display the stats of the person. Such as dotacash. But NOT dota so i can use for other games.

why should you send it to bot and then write a command in chat theat you could simply make a multiboard ?

 

[deth_lord]

nooooooooooo no your misunderstanding my request. i want the bot to maintain stats throughout multiple games, like dota bots.

Well, having it do this would not relate to your map itself.
You would probably be better off setting it up similarly to a Stealthbot, except saving different information.
Or, you could ask the DotA people how they do it.
