Help with waypointing. Options

[The HHH]

So,I am capable of waypointing with Rcbot2 but I saw that RCBot 1 is a bit different,Can someone help me out a bit with what waypoint flags do,and help me with getting bots to do multiple Objectives in one map,E.G. Open door,Proceed through,Then use a Lever and then exit.

I am talking about Sven-Co-Op BTW.

@max...That's a long one bro hehe but man that's tough...waypointing a bot in a SP/Coop manner....like the Xen level jump section ...do the bots manage to jump those?

@genmac

Heh heh, yeah I got a bit wordy on that post ... Yep, bots should be able to make those Xen jumps, although jumps are one of the harder things to do with movers (crystal2 Xen puzzle area took a while).. The "wait for lift" wpt works for that. To keep bots on the movers, use crouch and WFL wpts, keeps them from running off the mover...

Here is a new link for Escape Series 3, in case you want w00tguy123's wpts.

There have been a lot of changes to the maps since they were done, so they might need updating? Yeah, I forgot to fix those links when I lost fileden , i still need to get better file hosting... I think all the other rcws are in w00tguy's waypoint motherload pack... yeah, Escape Series 2 is incomplete I believe... It would be cool to have the whole series waypointed ...

As for lift problems, they can be difficult, maybe I can help? If you like, I could look at the lift, there are many different configurations (what map & location?). Generally, bots have the most problems going up lifts, getting them to press the buttons, or getting stuck under them, etc. Down lifts should be no problem.

With most lifts, the only wpt type you will need is the red lift button wpt. I've had to use it different ways, depending on the lift configuration. Sometimes I place it right on the lift buttons, other times I place it in front of the lift with a normal wpt on the button. It is suppose to be near the lift & the button in a safe place for bots to wait. Yes they will wait at the red lift button wpt for a lift to come down. But occasionally, for whatever reason, it won't work with a particular lift. So far, with sven, I've only had one lift it would not work with (bots would not press the lift button), I had far more problems with lifts in Natural Selections maps. Like I mention above, you might need to noclip a wpt(red) into the lift button, to get bots to press it. A forced one way path might be needed too?
