Bots and vehicles

[lordician]

Does anyone know what causes the problem of bots in vehicles?
If you don't know the problem:
1. Create bot
2. Put bot in vehicle
3. Let it follow you or aim at you (or anyone else)
4. Watch it acting very weird...
I'm curious what people guess what's the problem.
I really don't have an idea, first i thought they were trying to get to the ground to follow you, but the problem occurs too when you let them aim at you on a turret or another vehicle :S
Please share your ideas.
(If i am in the wrong section please don't flame me. But direct me where this belongs!)
Happy foruming!

acting very weird...

May I get a better description of the problem? Acting weird does not help much.

There isn't a vehicleAI script for blockland.

It will not follow you anymore (if in vehicle and you made him follow you)
And if you letted him aim at you, then it will turn around like a handicap (:P).

Hmm.. But why do they need a seperate vehicleAI script, why cant they just move (a little bit) the good way.
And why do they drive circles?
So many questions... I would like to hear other people's opinion too. :D

Has to be hard coded to the engine.

Exactly which bots are you talking about? the zombies or from something like the copy mod?  Also, I think zombies do try to run you over if you happen to be standing close enough. :P

Yes, if you're unlucky enough to be close to a zombietaxi :D
I'm talking about every bot that tries to follow, including zombies and other...
(they don't try to run you over, if they do they just feel lucky that day :D)

This.
All vehicles work different ways, rather significantly, and thus there can't be a global script or anything, because the bot could be driving a Jeep just great, then you fetch it into a jet and it tries to do a right turn, and ends up barrel rolling into a wall.
It just wouldn't work unless each vehicle somehow had a script put together for it.

But a zombie tank flies really f*ckin fast in an F-16

a zombie got in one of my tanks in my military base creation miles off of the bedroom. so i blew up the side wall and he and another zombie raced out
and while he was in the tank he drove around randomly  not in circles and it was hard to hit him with the mini nuke


this ISNT my castle but it is nice!

Ok.... Since when do zombies race and fly?
All they do if i put them in a vehicle is drive circles :S
Btw, why post a pic of that castle here...It's very off-topic and should belong in gallery...
