It is easy to create a custom Actor if no interaction (attack, taking damage, ...) with environment is needed. I did so with a Nali Ghost and a Trophy Dude.
Even more easier if no animation is needed.

Frag n' Brag has done it before, most notably on CTF-FNB-TrekWOOT... which I've been tinkering with on and off for awhile.

I had actual Borg skins he didn't have access to at the time that he made it.

True, but they look like bots and as was originally asked... they're standing without attacking.

Just to mess with you little bit ...
What you see when fighting bots are just puppets controlled by a cluster of code.
A real bot is invisible in a game... And not even really inside the map. :mrgreen:

Therefore those models standing around, doesn't even look like bots... that's why I said "no bots are involved".
Sektor111 can tell you what bots really look like.

Last time I turned some "cheap" carcasses set as bStatic but having LifeSpan=180 into real static stuff. This one can be... everything, in meaning of how they do look like and not exactly as what they are in reality - Editor's reality. A "b.t.w." for n00bs... Did you know that a "blockall" might look as player, lamp, statue, box ? No ? Too bad... which means we don't really have advanced mapping tutorials... including mainly ignored "PrePivot" properties...
