Pleasee help, thanks mate.

maybe we can make a simple script that glues each bot to their ass on command.

Hmm glueing might work

but it's not very bug proof

I know a quick solution but it's dirty as hell: make a big box around your map (a non-solid script_object) with a targetname (or use a complex entity with multiple brushes if your skybox requires it). Then in your script type:

$targetnameofobject disconnect_paths

It'll completely disable their ability to navigate around the map...

ugh man thats nasty! Doesnt all of your bots have the same name, like $bot? We could just glue them easily like this:

Code: Select all

for (local.i = 1; local.i <= $bot.size; local.i++)
{
    local.subject = $bot[local.i]
    local.stay= spawn script_origin
    local.stay.origin = local.subject.origin
    local.subject glue local.stay
    local.subject.stuck = local.stay
}

Then later on we make another for loop to unglue the bots, and delete the script objects "self.stuck

I might kill them with a mortar field............. When you see the movie you will know what I mean.
