primaryRole describes the main role of the robot.
secondaryRole describes the secondary Role of the Robot if needed.

Sample Roles:

• “miner”
  • Mining of resources
• “fighter”
  • Fighting other robots
• “scout”
  • Exploring the map
• “commander”
  • Commanding other robots

{
    trait: "role",
    data: {
        primaryRole: string
        secondaryRole: string | undefined
    }
}

Roles

Similar to Role if a robot has multiple roles it fullfils

{
    trait: "roles",
    data: {
        roles : string[]
    }
}

State Trait

Defines the current actions a robot is doing

sample states:

• “mining”
• “fleeing”
• “trading”
• “upgrading”
• “moving”

{
    trait: "state",
    data: {
        state : string
    }
}

Status

Current Status Information of the robot

sample Status:

• “fullCargo”
• “lowHealth”
• “lowEnergy”

{
    trait: "status",
    data: {
        status: string
    }
}

Example Usage on how Robot Traits can be used

Hostile / Friendly

Different contexts can be used to determine which Robots are considered as friendly or hostile from multiple perspectives.

[
    {
        "trait": "hostile",
        "context": "Player1"
    },
        {
        "trait": "friendly",
        "context": "Player2"
    },
    {
        "trait": "hostile",
        "context": "Player1_priority_attack_targets"
    },
]

Role / Roles

Roles can be used depending on the data to visualize Robots differently. Example usages is to have different Models depending on the combination of Roles, or just as simple to highlight those through a search Option

{
    "trait": "role",
    "data": {
        "primaryRole": "miner",
        "secondaryRole": "commander"
    }
}

{
    "trait": "roles",
    "data": {
        "roles": [
            "miner",
            "commander"
        ]
    }
}
