Is it possible to extract the actions of the bot ?

[Haziq Razali]

I am trying to extract the actions such as dribble, long pass, etc performed by the bot and was wondering how I can do this as the observations do not list their actions.

This is not possible in general, as the "set of actions" done by internal bots is different from the public actions. Extracting "passes" could be done by hacking around the code, but is not exposed by default.

Thank you. Could you point me in the right direction for doing this ? I looked through the play_game.py python script as well as some of the other functions and files it calls but have not been getting any closer to determining the code that will let me save the actions.

Try here. Good luck.

Thank you. Just wanted to confirm that I will be able to extract actions performed by the AI such as shot, long pass, header, etc and not only the pass right ? Namely the list of actions found here https://github.com/google-research/football/blob/cae99cae9932a971b502d0a4d769a6130ee40b97/third_party/gfootball_engine/src/gamedefines.hpp#L95

enum e_FunctionType {
  e_FunctionType_None,
  e_FunctionType_Movement,
  e_FunctionType_BallControl,
  e_FunctionType_Trap,
  e_FunctionType_ShortPass,
  e_FunctionType_LongPass,
  e_FunctionType_HighPass,
  e_FunctionType_Header,
  e_FunctionType_Shot,
  e_FunctionType_Deflect,
  e_FunctionType_Catch,
  e_FunctionType_Interfere,
  e_FunctionType_Trip,
  e_FunctionType_Sliding,
  e_FunctionType_Special
};

Yes, that is correct. Just note some of those actions are not part of the actions available to the agents.

Noted. And thank you very much!
