Bots sometimes freeze up looking at breakables until I or another bot breaks it (or they are killed) with rcbot2 .85.

I've been meaning to post this for some time now, first saw it on .8, it doesn't occur on .76. In .76 I think they will shoot over top until ammo is exhausted, then they break it melee if they couldn't hit it... But in .85 this happens instead? I don't think they have emptied thier clip, this first image is in flash spawn room.

(rcbot debug images)

The first time I noticed it, with rcbot2 version .8

These images are all from .85, the conditions are usually the same as first image, but sometimes vary. Every time I break the breakable they will resume moving normally. Seems to be most all classes. The desk in the one image is not breakable, I broke the chair and the bot began moving again.

Will the rcbot_shoot_breakable_cos cvar correct this? I haven't changed it from the default setting. rcbot_shoot_breakable is set to 1.

the higher rcbot_shoot_breakable_cos is the less likely bots will shoot a breakable in front of them. Try a value of 0.98 (10 degrees)

I finally got a bot to do it again at the default setting (.9). As soon as I entered "rcbot_shoot_breakable_cos .98" in the console, the bot ignored the breakable & went on it's merry way . So, it looks like that will solve the problem...

It was intermittent/random and usually happens inside buildings where there is little or no action. So I added "rcbot_shoot_breakable_cos .98" to my config.ini, and so far have not seen it occur again. Thanks for the tip...

AND...

the higher rcbot_shoot_breakable_cos is the less likely bots will shoot a breakable in front of them. Try a value of 0.98 (10 degrees)

Four questions:

1) For that matter, I do not know if the value should be "." or ",". Example:
"rcbot_shoot_breakable_cos 0.98" or "rcbot_shoot_breakable_cos 0,98"?

2) As for the variable "rcbot_shoot_breakable" (without "_cos"), what is the difference in relation to "rcbot_shoot_breakable_cos"?

3) Another question is: if I setting the value to ",98" (or ".98"), the bots leave completely aside the "break the breakable" function, or just reduce the frequency of this function? There is an optimum value - beyond the 0.98! -, so as to achieve these behavior-function without compromising the unique dynamics of bots?

4) On the proposals made ​​in my post above [previous post: http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=1879&view=findpost&p=12807], mr. Cheeseh, which outcome/resolution you got (obtained)?


Thanks, guys!
