Greed

Game mode that focuses on collecting skulls dropped from dead players and capturing them in the opposing team's base. For Greed, the game uses all Capture the Flag and Vehicle Capture the Flag maps.

Info: https://unreal.fandom.com/wiki/Greed
Skulls: https://unreal.fandom.com/wiki/Skull

The objective in Greed is to get the highest number of skulls. A player can collect skulls by fragging enemy players, and picking their skulls up. The player will then take the skulls to the enemy bases "hoop" and redeem them for points. The first team to reach the score limit wins.

Green skulls is same as UT3 Silver skulls.
Green skull give +1 point.
Gold - +5.
Red - +20.

For every five and ten skulls the player delivers, players are awarded fifty points of armor and thirty seconds of UDamage respectively. The UDamage timer will stack, whereas the armor will not.

Matches in Vehicle CTF maps have bonuses regarding main seats in vehicles. Killing players driving big vehicles grant 10 skulls (dropped as 2 gold skulls), killing players driving medium vehicle grant 6 skulls (1 silver + 1 gold) and killing players driving any other vehicle except Turrets grant 2 skulls (2 silver).

To reduce the mess caused by huge drop counts, players first drop red skulls worth 20 points, then gold skulls worth 5 points and finally green skulls worth 1 point.

Need setup for reproduce issue.
For me bots enter to vehicle without problems. So maybe it is map related.
Maybe they want reach some other place or collide set wrong.

Did you try look via MindReader what actually bots try do?

this is my first time using mindreader, and I'm not sure what to look for, so i figured i would create another video so you can see it.
I didn't have this problem with previous version of xvehicles.

this is also an assault map, I'll include it below if that helps:

NavigationPoint is normal actor and can be used in maps.

For real debug you need run 1-2 bots with mind reader.
You need make smooth run bot alone, before you can goes further.

For exit - try make fort, which need touch - game relevant. bGameRelevant.

I can try add support for this in future versions if it work.

Also strongly suggest make debug and test with SmartStockBots. It is make huge difference, so you need be expect it be used.

Here test build with improve AS support:
- exit for forts which need be triggered
- not set as enemy such forts, during search enemies.

test build is definitely working well! thanks, that was fast! well done!

one last problem, at least for this map, is that the bots aren't shooting the final objective with vehicle weapons. I'll use mind reader at a later time if necessary.

For a future idea, maybe have some XVehicles act as a 'fortStandard' in certain assault maps. There is a an existing assault map where the attacking team has to eliminate the Skaarj Lord on a final objective.
How about destroying turrets, a tank or something similar? Would need a good example map in such case.

Maybe just put FortStandard inside vehicle, and that all. Set physics PHYS_Trail, and set owner to vehicle. Hp choose low, so blown veh kill it.

Fort located inside mover. That mean center point not reachable. Such Actors can register damage not always, since technically it inside wall.
Try make Mover planes not solid. Possible this make it transparent for shots and trace checks.
