mg42 Q

[small_sumo]

I want an mg42 operated by ai who are not bots in a bot map. You game me once a file called jv_mp_mg42_active.scr . Would it be safe to use that? How would I set up like normal? Normal sp style? Incase you cannot recall I added the script below.

Thanks JV

You can use it but the gunner won't attack bots, only players.

[small_sumo]

And will bots attack him? Can it be fixed?

Thanks

[jv_map]

Yes, yes

[small_sumo]

Will you do it for me kind sire?
