A Force-Field is a hardware component which thrusts food and robots, but not projectiles, in a specified direction.
Language Reference[]
| Variable | Type | Comment |
|---|---|---|
|
force-field-max-power |
Integer | Maximum amount of power (thrust) the force-field can project per frame |
|
force-field-range |
Integer | Maximum range the centre of the bubble can be projected |
| force-field-radius | Integer | Radius the bubble will have, based (solely) on the currently set power (thrust) level |
|
force-field-distance |
Integer | Writeable. Distance from the robot to project the centre of the bubble |
|
force-field-direction |
Integer | Writeable. Direction to project the bubble, relative to the robot |
|
force-field-power |
Interger | Writeable. Currently set power (thrust). Can be used to manually project a bubble using the variables or set to 0 to turn force-field off |
|
force-field-angle |
Interger | Writeable. Direction the force-field will apply power (thrust), relative to the bubble |

| Operator | Stack Diagram | Comments |

set-force-field |
position angle -- | Turns the force-field on at full power at the given position and angle. |
Notes[]
A force-field can be activated by either using the operator set-force-field or by setting the variables. The angle is always absolutely relative to the newly created force-field (not the originating robot).
Using the operator triggers a force-field at a fixed, absolute position.
Using the variables triggers a force-field at a relative position to the robot, in a similar manner to firing grenades; the force-field-distance and force-field-direction are relative to the robot.
Force-fields do not vary blaster shots.
Radius of the bubble is hard coupled to the power of the force-field. Can't have a small, powerful bubble nor a large, weak bubble.
