Bot debug colors?

[Bjarne BZR]

I like the debug mode where the bots "glow" in the color assigned to their current task. Some colors I can guess pretty easily but some are more tricky. So the Q is:

What colors are associated with what tasks?
And what does it mean when a bot is not colored? Is he to lazy to pick a task?

Yeah the colors were designed to quickly show the task of the bot but they became a bit messy over time , especially when the subtask concept entered the bomb code. Anyway I'll try to assemble a correct list and post it down here.

Blue: follows player
Red: intends to set a bomb
Yellow: intends to snipe some ass
Green: .... eh... heading for a bombcamp?

... hm no use... I'll just wait for the exact answers from jv....

Everything behind a colon ( : ) is a subtask. As you see attackbomb and defendbomb use largely the same color scheme.

If a bot doesn't have a color he does not perform any of the tasks below, this means, he is idle (no task) or busy with the trigger or the coloring code has a bug somewhere

Code: Select all

purple          
   -> attackbomb : plant
   -> defendbomb : defuse
   -> camp
blue          
   -> defendbomb : ignoredefuse
   -> defendbomb : defuse (defusing)
   -> follow
   -> health
light blue       
   -> attackbomb : escort
   -> defendbomb : escort
yellow
   -> sniper
red            
   -> attackbomb : activate
   -> defendbomb : activate
   -> attackbomb : plant (planting)
   -> machinegun
green         
   -> attackbomb : camp
   -> defendbomb : camp

Thanx

Great tool. Im a visual guy
The uncolored ones I've seen looks "bored"... I can push them out of the way, but they wont do anything useful.

Hmm you can also get their task from the jvbot_status command (if you run the bots in verbose mode, you'll get more info).

To retrieve the targetname of a bot, type g_entinfo 1 in console.

To find out the destination of a bot (where he is running to, or 'patrolnode' as mohaa programmers called it), type 'actorinfo <entnum>'. You can also find the entnum with the entinfo command.

Thats good to know when bots behave like morons
