[Pogamut-list] RayCasting Bot

Re: RayCasting Bot
Hi jakub, 
    Ok with your code it seems to be running MUCH faster but, not working still :(

Trace frontTrace = memory.getAutoTrace(RAY_STRAIGHT);   
I had to change that to AutoTrace frontTrace , thats nota big deal and i got that working fine. It was however crashing (EXCEPTION in the Out Log) because of a null pointer. So i put some code in to check for this null pointer first, now i'm up and running but it seems   memory.getAutoTrace() isn't ever returning anything. Heres my chunk of code:


//---------------------------------START CODE AFTER IMPORTS-------------
//inside the main class ,
//DECLARATIONS:
    public static final double SENSOR_LENGTH = 50;
    public static final int RAY_STRAIGHT = 0;
    public static final int RAY_LEFT = 1;
    public static final int RAY_RIGHT = 2;
    public static final int RAY_STRAIGHT_UP45 = 3;
    //AutoTraces to hold results 
    AutoTraceRay traceStraight, traceLeft, traceRight, traceStraightUp45;
    AutoTraceRay autorayStraight; //tmp for debugging
    double distStraight;          //single distance variable for debugging
    
    /** Creates a new instance of agent. */   //put here by pogamut
    public Main() {
    }

// this mehthod is called before the agent is launched to the UT
@Override
protected void postPrepareAgent() throws PogamutException {
// first, remove all existing rays
body.removeAllRaysFromAutoTrace();
body.addRayToAutoTrace(RAY_STRAIGHT, new Triple( 1, 0, 0), SENSOR_LENGTH, false, true);
body.addRayToAutoTrace(RAY_LEFT, new Triple( 1, 1, 0), SENSOR_LENGTH, false, true);
body.addRayToAutoTrace(RAY_RIGHT, new Triple( 1, -1, 0), SENSOR_LENGTH, false, true);
body.addRayToAutoTrace(RAY_STRAIGHT_UP45, new Triple( 1, 0, 1), SENSOR_LENGTH, false, true);
body.initializer.setAutoTrace(true);
}
//END postPrepareAgent()

//now for the DOlogic section-----------
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
    protected void doLogic() {
        //example from Pogamut Jakub
        autorayStraight = memory.getAutoTrace(RAY_STRAIGHT);
        if(autorayStraight == null){
            body.sendGlobalMessage("Front ray = NULL");
        }
        else if (autorayStraight.result) {
           distStraight = Triple.distanceInSpace(memory.getAgentLocation(),     autorayStraight.hitLocation);
           body.sendGlobalMessage("distance in front = " +distStraight);
           if(distStraight
