Programming skills run library for minecraft turning point

mctp-autonomous

This is a autonomous programming library for minecraft turning point. It was made with python and autohotkey, and allows users to program completely autonomous in-game movements.

Setup

1. Install autohotkey
2. Install python
3. Download the latest mctp version
4. Set your minecraft in-game sensitivity to 100% (Optional)

Creating an autonomous

All programming should be done inside of main.py. Here is a simple example:

import mctp as robot

robot.init(robot.Launcher.PUNCHER)
robot.drive(1000)
robot.end()

• The mctp library is imported to give access to all movement functions
• The robot.init() function must be called with whatever type of launcher you intend to use. You may pass an optional second argument that scales the sensitivity of turning and angling movements.
• The robot.drive() function generates a forward movement measured in milliseconds.
• The robot.end() function is required to make sure the autohotkey script exits properly

After saving the code in your main.py run the file from the terminal with the command python main.py. This will generate a file named autonomous.ahk which can be run by autohotkey. By double clicking on this file, the script should start and an autohotkey icon will appear in the windows taskbar. Once the script has been started, you have to reload it after each change to your autonomous program. To do this, right click on the icon and select Reload this script

Once you are in-game, press ctrl + j to start the autonomous program. While the program is active, mouse and keyboard movements will still register, so be careful not to move the mouse after starting the program.

Supported functionality

The following autonomous movements are supported:

robot.turn(amount)

• changes the angle of the robot
• positive numbers are left
• negative numbers are right

robot.drive(distance)

• drive the robot
• positive numbers are forward
• negative numbers are backward
• distance is measured in milliseconds

robot.angle(amount)

• change angle of the launcher
• positive numbers are up
• negative numbers are down

robot.shoot(drawBackTime = 1000)

• switch to the launcher and fire a projectile
• drawBackTime will be ignored by flywheels robots
• drawBackTime defaults to a full power bow shot

robot.cap_flip()

• switch to the cap pusher and swing

robot.cap_punch()

• switch to open hand and swing
