I think that the easiest and fastest way to do this would be to use the Loop Functions, instead of using the .argos file. You could input your box positions and orientations, and then add them in your Init() method. Have a look at the custom distributions example and adapt the code in there to your ...

Happy this helped!

It took me a while because I needed to fix a few compilation issues, but this patch works for me. I tested the code against the latest version of ARGoS.

Yes, the correct way to use the loop functions. You can copy what the foraging example already does: you endow the robot controllers of a way to get the information about the position of all the other robots, such as a Set() method of some sort. Then in the loop function you access the embodied enti...

Having a look this weekend and reporting back!

If you share the code I can have a look. I'm sure it's a small detail you have overlooked.

This problem is not related to Qt. What this is saying is that your robots have gone outside the experimental arena, and the spatial index that handles it detected the problem. This is a fatal error and this is why the simulation is stopped. Changing the length of the time step won't help. I don't h...

I don't use VSCode, so I am not sure what might be going wrong with it. I use ARGoS from the terminal, so if that works then ARGoS seems to be doing everything right. I would suggest you to look into what VSCode does differently from the command line.

I have never seen these problems before. The first one I can guess is related to Wayland and Qt, so I'd Google it. It doesn't look like an ARGoS issue specifically. The second looks like a linking issue. Is your Ubuntu a vanilla installation, or there's something special about it? For example, you m...

There is no native way, but it could be added by making a new medium. You could use the original range and bearing medium and make a new one, extended to support this feature. You don't need to change the core of ARGoS, you can simply create a new medium in your own user code taking the range and be...
