Possible Bugs or Observed Issues Topic

Thought I should start a topic to report observed issues or bugs, not strictly related to waypointing... This first item has been resolved with some hacky waypointing, but I don't think bots were seeing or able to reach the buttons in the wall. Distance was reported by debug to be 76, perhaps that is to far? I have not tried latest build yet, the wpt is nearly done, but needs a bit of polish though...

11-28 build

I finally got something to work on the first closed locked door on murks. I've put hours overall to make it work. It was the same problem with the old rcbots at these doors. So I started out with the wpt config I had with the old bots, noclipped wpt into the button, but that wasn't working. I almost gave up when I just stumbled on a config that works, after moving wpts around and using combinations of normal, important, wait and staynear flags. But just like with the old bots its a forced configuration. I don't think Bots are seeing the func_button in the panel. Before I got this working they would just run up against the door pressing use a few times, then go over to the important wpt, but not press use, then go back to unopened door & repeat. If I added an openslater on other side of door they would go over to the button/panel, but would not press it, with any of a dozen different configurations...

Well this is actually working well now, but as you can see the path is through the wall. In fact I used this config at the 2nd problem door and it works there too. I have also been able to remove the important flag & it still works.




Config is wait---important or wait---normal, but path must go through wall from the wait wpt. It won't work from the important wpt. Never did try path from wait thru the door? That probably won't work unless it is close to the button?

I did a rcbot.search while right up against the panel, and button distance is about 76, perhaps that is the reason?

CODE

] as_command rcbot.search
[RCBOT]player frame=232.552887 distance = 0
[RCBOT]func_button frame=0 distance = 76.595879
[RCBOT]func_door LOCKED!!
[RCBOT]func_door frame=0 distance = 120.178703
[RCBOT]func_door LOCKED!!
[RCBOT]func_door frame=0 distance = 134.249481
[RCBOT]func_illusionary frame=0 distance = 168.824387
[RCBOT]multi_manager frame=0 distance = 43.174778
[RCBOT]weapon_crowbar frame=0 distance = 8
[RCBOT]weapon_9mmhandgun frame=0 distance = 8
[RCBOT]weapon_medkit frame=0 distance = 8

So for a test I removed the path thru the wall to make them fail to press the button again. Also placed openslater on other side of door to make them go to the button. Same failure is present without openslater, just easier to find it in in console this way...

Ran debug task on a bot, and get this... I think maybe they are not facing correct direction, looks like they attempt once to press it?

Other observe issues (have not tried latest build yet, maybe "bots avoid last failed path" fixed #2?) :

#1 Saw bot stuck on turret, not sure how it happened & only saw once? Tried placing another wpt nearby, but he wouldn't use it or suicide, seem pretty stuck...


#2 This happened after removing a staynear flag from other side of the door. He was constantly pressing use in the corner & wouldn't go to the button. So I put the staynear back on the same wpt, I had to restart the map, but haven't seen it happen again.


Both of these may be rare occurance, but I haven't tried many different maps, so not sure?

I think I figured out why the vent covers in sc_doc were sometimes present and sometimes not there. I suspect it was due to me using the Massive Explosion cheat in other areas of the map. Using it may break scripts from working correctly. This became apparent while I was working on murks. About halfway into the map there is a glass partition a mini garg must break, it occurs just as a player enters the room, the garg is pre-placed and always there just waiting for the script to run. I was unknowingly killing the gard from using the massive explosion cheat from other areas of map, which means he wasn't there to break the partition.

It seems some maps have "leaks" in them, allowing the explosions to bleed through? Is there a way to adjust the strength of the massive explosion cheat?

I've reduced the default explo magnitude to 512

you can now change to magnitude with

as_command rcbot.explo <magnitude>


Just another waypoint tip: You can put in some waypoints, even crouch ones, behind common cover areas, sandbags for e.g. or wall columns that bots can use to take cover,

Cool, thanks... Tested it out on murks & the default magnitude is much better...
Fixed some things on desertcircle today, bots can raise all the flags now, if not under attack.

Ok, will try to do that more, been focused on the other issues. Maybe I can add some to desertcircle tonite...

btw, notouch doesn't seem to work (restarts the map?)? Maybe you haven't implemented it?

No touch doesn't work the way I'd want. It just puts you in observer mode. I guess observer move kills the player so in survival mode it will restart the map.
