The detect() function checks the forward tile infront of Gizmo and returns what it finds. This function consumes energy only if it fails to find a detectable object.
detect_info = detect()None.
The function returns an object with the following properties:
detected: A boolean indicating if something was detected (True) or not (False).type: A string indicating the object found. If no object is found, returns None.If a Barrier is detected, the following properties are returned:
barrier_is_open: A boolean indicating whether the barrier is currently open (True) or closed (False).barrier_min_closed_time: A float representing the minimum time the barrier stays closed.barrier_max_closed_time: A float representing the maximum time the barrier stays closed.barrier_open_duration: A float representing how long the barrier stays open.If a Hazard is detected, the following properties are returned:
hazard_type: A string describing the type of hazard (Timed or Static).hazard_name: A string representing the name of the hazard ("Pit", "Oil Spill", etc).hazard_active: A boolean indicating whether the hazard is currently active (True) or inactive (False).If a Station is detected, the following properties are returned:
station_name: A string representing the name of the station ("Charge Station", "Repair Station", etc).If an Interactable is detected, the following properties are returned:
interactable_name: A string representing the name of the interactable ("Lever", "Button", etc).interactable_state: A boolean indicating if the interactable is active (True) or inactive (False).Here's some examples of how to use the detect() function:
# Check for a barrier in front of Gizmo
detect_info = detect()
if detect_info.detected and detect_info.type == "Barrier":
print(f"Detected a {detect_info.type}!")
if detect_info.barrier_is_open:
print("The barrier is currently open. Move quickly!")
else:
print("The barrier is closed. Wait for it to open.")
print(f"The barrier stays closed for {detect_info.barrier_min_closed_time} to {detect_info.barrier_max_closed_time} seconds.")
print(f"When open, it stays open for {detect_info.barrier_open_duration} seconds.")
else:
print("No barrier detected in front of Gizmo.")# Check for a hazard in front of Gizmo
detect_info = detect()
if detect_info.detected and detect_info.type == "Hazard":
print(f"Warning! Detected a {detect_info.hazard_name} hazard!")
print(f"Hazard type: {detect_info.type}")
if detect_info.hazard_active:
print("The hazard is currently active. Be careful!")
else:
print("The hazard is currently inactive, but stay alert.")
else:
print("No hazard detected in front of Gizmo. It's safe to proceed.")detect() function becomes available at level 5.detect() begins to detect additional types of objects.
