RCBots in Synergy Options

[daunknownman2010]

The bots in Synergy do everything normally like walking around and following waypoints, however, they don't attack NPCs even if "bot = COOP". They will simply walk past them and die afterwards.

However, the bots work great otherwise

what are the class names of the monsters? You can go near a monster in spectator mode and type

rcbot util search

I've never tried it with synergy but it should work. They should attack NPCs if their classname begins with npc_, but not npc_barney etc

The ones I tried them on are npc_combine_s and npc_hunter but they don't attack them.

that's weird cos I have this code

CODE

    classname = pEdict->GetClassName();

    if ( strncmp(classname,"npc_",4) == 0 )
    {
        if ( !strcmp(classname,"npc_antlionguard") || !strcmp(classname,"npc_citizen") ||
             !strcmp(classname,"npc_barney") || !strcmp(classname,"npc_kliener") || !strcmp(classname,"npc_alyx") )
        {
            return false; // ally
        }

        return true;
    }

so any thing with npc_ in it's name should be a target unless its a lionguard,citizen,barney , kliener or alyx
. BTW you don't need to set the bot = COOP, unless the synergy folders are not called 'synergy' (the bot already has the setup details precoded)

While playing, I debugged the bots and it seems their current util is BOT_UTIL_BUILDSENTRY which is weird since it's not TF2.

that's fine because BOT_UTIL_BUILDSENTRY is just zero !

ah, ok. Just did further debugging, seems the npcs don't appear to be visible to the bots. It's a very rare chance they will start seeing npcs but I don't know why. Also, they seem to not change weapons and stick with the weapon they got.

perhaps they don't think they've got any weapons, I'll recheck sometime soon
