magbot's Issues

[WorkerManager] Building location

Context: problem occurred in Benzene 1.1 top right base location.

• Multiple gateways is built when the build order queue only states one.

Function involved: getBuilder from WorkerManager

When the bot has enough minerals, the closest mining worker is set to builder and wants to build, but a second worker set to mine also wants to build it.
May be related to the fact that when getBuilder gets called, the closest mining worker is set to Builder
then if the test location isn't valid (in fog of war or outside the map), it will try to find another valid location while the next closest mining worker is doing the same task.

Reproduction: Load Benzene 1.1 map. Set localFrameSpeed to 0 with /speed 0 command.

Possible solution : add reserved tiles or add getValidBuildingLocation() function when doing test_location in BuildingManager

List of tasks

BuildingData

• Add information for the position/desiredposition (require testing)

BuildingManager

• If a worker dies and was assigned to build

BuildOrder

• Implement method add that allows creation of units at a supply specified
• If we don't have the prerequisite for a building in the queue, add all of them
• Manage metatype which doesn't have prerequiste
• Research tech
• Upgrade tech

BuildOrderQueue

• Implement method hasItemInQueue

Config

• Namespace for config file, strategy, micro, macro, tools

DefenceManager

• WIP

GameCommander

• Search through WorkerManagement instance

InformationManager

• WIP

MineralNode

• WIP

ProductionManager

• Implement method for goals of unit construction
• moveWorker method for create(...) depending on distance, time to travel, gathering rate

PylonData

• WIP

ScoutManager

• WIP

SquadData

• Add overall stats of the squad (health, power, etc..)
• Find nearest squad method

SquadManager

• WIP
• RebalanceSquads()

StrategyManager

• Worker count vs build order
• RebuildWorkers()

Worker

• WIP
• Add worker stats
• Add auto defence implementation
• Rebalance workers method

WorkerManager

• WIP
• Reimplement mining assignment since default from game engine isn't optimized
• Relook at Build(position, unittype)
