Doesn't really fit a title :-O, Not too sure Options

I think to make it easier waypointing in certain maps it would be an interesting idea to have waypoint "prioraty" levels, for the "objective" waypoint, that way you set say, waypoint#1s prioraty to 1, so they go there since the others are behind "open later" waypoint, then they do that the whatever opens, then they all try and head to waypoint#2, ect. Im not too sure if this could really be all that good to have but it certainly would make life easier! :-P

It would also be good if the waypoint objective "graphic" would be a little bit different looking then what it is, cause my eye sight is really bad and I cannot tell the difference between one color, and one thats the same color but slightly ligher very easy, I have to look at it for a very long time.

I don't see a point to this. NS does have some of the most difficult maps to navigate in but rcbot already has a waypoint to help deal with paths that are blocked early on but may become available later. This waypoint is taged "opens later". When the bots reach this waypoint and find they can't procede past it, they turn around and look for another route. Try it sometime.

Bots are not ment to be truely skilled adversarys, just opponets for players who can't play or don't want to play in public servers or just want to play and actually learn something without getting insulted because they lack skill for the game.

I believe he's talking about Svencoop, as there are objective waypoints which are important parts of the map, e.g. places where you might need to go to open a door somewhere else say...

The better way to do it is to have a number which is not the priority but the order in which they are visited. But that presents a problem as you don't want bots to go to waypoint objective 1 then 2 then 3... all the time as some may not be reachable anymore throughout the game or they don't need to go there anymore... What determines if a waypoint is reachable anymore and needs to be visited? That's the question.

That's interesting that you brought that up cheeseh. Foxbot has the ability to use scripts for multipathing through command points. This in turn lets the bots know when an alternitive path becomes available.


Foxbot reads console commands that look like this:

The bots already take advantage of using later opened teleports and doors, provided there is an opens later waypoint on the other side though...!
