I know it is a user problem that the world is too tight and we should make more space, but for some use cases, we need the world to be tight, which is why I suggest this. I have it in my clone of VMAS and it works great, but I do not want to stray too far away from the original VMAS.
Then in my reset_world_at function I do:
def reset_world_at(self, env_index: int = None):
if self.batch_dim == 1:
env_index = [0]
elif env_index is None:
env_index = th.arange(0, self.batch_dim).int().tolist()
elif isinstance(env_index, int):
env_index = [env_index]
for index in env_index:
for i in range(10):
try:
self.try_reset_world(index)
break
except Exception as e:
print(e)
print(
f"Something went wrong resetting env {index}, retrying... ({10-i} attempts left)"
)
if i == 9:
raise e
However, this is just my code and not something I would restrict on all scenarios. Just leaving it as an example.
I see how it can be a problem since you are just left on indefinite wait, but I would not have an error since the tightness of world, the batch_size, and the time requested for spawning entities is up to users and is varied.
I'll add a warning just to let users know that the loop is taking many iterations.
I also really suggest avoiding code like the one in your scenario class, it is very unsafe.
I am running into an unlucky case of being unable to fit all my agents into a world (if I'm unlucky). However, if I encounter this throughout the night, the simulator will be in a while loop forever. I suggest a max limit tries and then raise an exception that we can catch and the user could remake the world If he wants to.
