ladders bug., observe thru bots eyes shows odd stuff. Options

[billcat]

Heya,

Using the new steam client/server I was able to get some interesting views of the bots looking thru their eyes, perhaps you can do this in the older client, I dono. Anyway, the bots are looking up at like 90 deg when trying to climb a ladder. I think they should be looking at 45 deg max. I'm sure the wbots don't look up this high when they try to use ladders as I had some of them running the map at the same time and observed from their eyes as well. Anyway, I dono much about this code but if you could try making the bots look slightly up rather than directly up at the sky, they might climb the ladders better.

Thanks,

Billcat

I'm not seeing that. Marines on my server lavigate ladders well enough. They jitter a lot and move pretty slow but are climbing and decending on ladders. In 3rd person mode, they look strait ahead but in first person mode, they are looking strait up and down.

Aliens on the other hand, don't do so well. The aliens aproach a ladder and never move. They just stand there and shake violently. In first person mode, you'll see that they don't look up or down at ladder waypoints, they just look strait ahead.

The aliens are looking strait up at wallstick waypoints in first person mode but in 3rd person mode, they are looking strait ahead. They don't move at these waypoints either.

Cheeseh, I hope this is giving you some ideas of what the bots are trying to do at these waypoints.
