Need Help solving "Code Battle vs Aliens" - nope - 06-05-2016

Hey. I recently found about colobot. I'm trying to win the sample code battle in game where there are a few ants across the river and you just need to kill them to win. I have managed to build all the needed buildings and build wingedshooters. But my wingedshooters just hover over my BotFactory and don't move at all. I think the problem is with my use of radar to find enemies. I can't really change the code for wingedshooters incrementally because to see the effect of every change I have to wait for all the base be built from nothing every time. Is there anyway to make the game fast forward a little?
Here is my code:

Code:
extern void object::Fight()
{
    
    build(Converter);
    
    MakeTitanium();
    Build(PowerPlant);
    
    MakeTitanium();
    PutItem(Titanium, PowerPlant);
    
    MakeTitanium();
    Build(ResearchCenter);
    //PutItem(PowerCell, ResearchCenter);
    MyGoto(PowerPlant);
    grab();
    MyGoto(ResearchCenter);
    drop();
    
    Research(ResearchShooter);
    
    MakeTitanium();
    PutItem(Titanium, PowerPlant);
    
    MakeTitanium();
    Build(BotFactory);
    
    MakeTitanium();
    Build(PowerStation);
    
    // recharging will take long so make a titanium while we wait.
    MakeTitanium();
    GrabItem(ResearchCenter);
    Recharge();
    drop();
    Research(ResearchWinged);
    
    while (true)
    {
        
        MakeRobot(WingedShooter, "WingedSearchAndDestroy");
        MyGoto(PowerPlant);
        grab();
        MyGoto(BotFactory);
        wait(10);
        drop();
        
        MakeTitanium();
        PutItem(Titanium, PowerPlant);
        checkRecharge(0.3);
        MakeTitanium();
    }
}

void object::Build(int cat)
{
    object t = WaitFor(Titanium);
    MyGoto(t.position);
    grab();
    MyGoto(space(position, 10, 1000, 10));
    drop();
    build(cat);
}

void object::MakeRobot(int cat, string prog) {
    PutItem(Titanium, BotFactory);
    move(-5);
    object o = radar(BotFactory);
    o.factory(cat, prog);
}

void object::Recharge() {
    point start = position;
    float ori = orientation;
    
    
    MyGoto(PowerStation);
    while (true)
    {
        wait(0.5);
        
        if (load.category == PowerCell) {
            if (load.energyLevel < 1)
            {
                continue;
            }
        }
        
        if (energyCell.energyLevel < 1) {
            continue;
        } else {
            break;
        }
    }
    
    
    MyGoto(start);
    turn(ori - orientation);
}

void object::Research(int cat)
{
    object r = radar(ResearchCenter);
    r.research(cat);
}

object object::WaitFor(int cat)
{
    while (true) {
        object o = radar(cat);
        if (o != null) {
            return o;
        }
        wait(1);
    }
}

bool object::GrabItem(int cat) {
    object t = WaitFor(cat);
    if (t == null)
    {
        return false;
    }
    MyGoto(t.position);
    grab();
    return true;
}

void object::PutItem(int cat, point pos) {
    GrabItem(cat);
    MyGoto(pos);
    drop();

You can change speed of the game using F3-F9 keys. F9 gives you speed 6x. If you need more, you can open cheat console and input "speed x" where x is the speed you want, e.g. "speed 8" will give you speed 8x. Although this might cause some physics-related bugs, so don't use too high values.

RE: Need Help solving "Code Battle vs Aliens" - nope - 06-13-2016

Apparently 
Code:
radar(Any, 0, 360, 0, 1000, 1, FilterEnemy);

Does not find AlienAnts
Changing it to 
Code:
radar(AlienAnt);

Did the trick
