Creeps

Naming

The naming convention is specified in prototype.spawn.js.
Currently it is specified as a combination of:
Uppercase first letter of role
BodyPartsMultiplier
Random number between 1 and 1000
For example: H-2-4561 is a Harvester with 2 times the default body-set (defined in prototype.spawn.js).
The random number is there to prevent duplicates (duh)...

Roles

Creeps theire roles are defined on creation. Their role is defined in their memory. This allows (pretty) easy changing of a creeps role.
The following roles are currently implemented:

• Harvester

  Harvesters have the task of keeping the energy-levels full of the following structures in order of importance:

  1. STRUCTURE_TOWER
  2. STRUCTURE_EXTENSION
  3. STRUCTURE_SPAWN
  4. STRUCTURE_CONTAINER or STRUCTURE_STORAGE

• Upgrader

  Upgraders' their main task is upgrading your controller. They don't default because there is always some upgrading to do.

• Builder

  Builders' their main task is building their closest construction site.
  Defaults to (in order):

  • Upgrader

• Repairer

  Repairers' their main task is repairing closest construction building with less than 90% of it's HP. When it found a target, it will keep repairing that target until 100% HP is reached.
  Defaults to (in order):

  • Builder
  • Upgrader

• WallRepairer

  WallRepairers' their main task is finding a damaged STRUCTURE_WALL, and repair if necessary.
  It searches with some math that exponentially grows the hits-percentage:

  for (let percentage = 0.0001; percentage <= 1; percentage = percentage * 2.782559402206) {
    let minHitsWalls = (300 * 1000 * 1000) * percentage;
    let minHitsRamparts = (300 * 1000 * 1000) * percentage;
    target = creep.pos.findClosestByPath(FIND_STRUCTURES, {
      filter: (s) => {
        return (s.structureType === STRUCTURE_RAMPART && s.hits < minHitsRamparts && s.hits < s.hitsMax) ||
          (s.structureType === STRUCTURE_WALL && s.hits < minHitsWalls && s.hits < s.hitsMax);
      }
    });
    if (target) {
      break;
    }
  }

  Default to (in order):

  • Repairer
  • Builder
  • Upgrader

• Attacker

  • role
    • type: string
    • default: attacker
  • mode
    • type: string
    • default: defending
  • targetLocation
    • type: Array
    • default: [Game.flags['Rally1'].pos.x, Game.flags['Rally1'].pos.y]

  Attackers' their main task is finding a hostile entity. If one is found, it will move towards is, until the target is within attacking range. They don't default to anything.
