This looks useful for weapons training.

I got bored today and was getting tired of the bots being so stupid in team games
unless you specifically ordered them to attack or defend.

So I wrote this bit:

Code: Select all

var int BotID[32];

function ModifyPlayer(Pawn Other)
{
	local Bot B;
	local int RV;

	if ((Other.IsA('Bot')) && (BotID[Other.PlayerReplicationInfo.PlayerID] != Other.PlayerReplicationInfo.PlayerID))
	{
		BotID[Other.PlayerReplicationInfo.PlayerID]=Other.PlayerReplicationInfo.PlayerID;
		B=Bot(Other);

	if ( Level.Game.GameName == "Assault" )
		{
		B.bLeading = False;
		if ( TeamGamePlus(Level.Game).IsOnTeam(B,0) )
			B.SetOrders('Defend', None, true);
		else
			B.SetOrders('Attack', None, true);
		}
		else
		{
		if ( DeathMatchPlus(Level.Game).bTeamGame )
			{
				B.bLeading = False;
				RV = Rand(2);
				if (RV == 1)
					B.SetOrders('Attack', None, true);
				else
					B.SetOrders('Defend', None, true);
			}
			else
			{
				B.SetOrders('Freelance', None, true);
			}
		}
		log(RV$"   Orders set for "$B.PlayerReplicationInfo.PlayerName$"  "$B.PlayerReplicationInfo.PlayerID$"  "$B.Orders);
	}

	// called by GameInfo.RestartPlayer()
	if ( NextMutator != None )
		NextMutator.ModifyPlayer(Other);
}

Got that running in a custom version of the XBots9b on my servers now.

And what is it doing?

And what is it doing?

Everytime they bot respawn, it'll make sure their current actions are "the best" for that mode.

Actually it only does that at the start of each level. So you can still order the bots to
do something else in-game if you wish.

See the BotOrders thread in this section for more info and mutator download.

Would it be possible to intergrate Marginally Enhanced UT into Xbots' bot configuration UI in the future?
