Downloading this update will force you into the beta release cycle, which you can opt out of by accessing the Slayer options menu from its new home in the Blockland menu GUI.

And you just know they're gonna use it anyway.

Yup, that's how it goes.

Do the Bots get random names? That would be Useful.

[Racerboy]

Awesome.

Is there a pref or something to disable things slayer prints into the chat, for example spawning:

The reset message.
The "Team Slayer" message.
The "+ 1" life message.

etc.

did you ever get a chance to do this?

You can set their names by using the setBotName event on spawnbricks.

That reminds me. These bots will spawn at human spawns! (standard bot holes coming soon) If you want to perform events on the bots, place onBotSpawn events on all of the spawnpoints they can use.

Not yet, but it's on the roadmap for v3.8rc1. https://bitbucket.org/Greek2me/slayer/issue/177/option-to-hide-slayer-messages

Would love to see a server running this asap.

[Boink!]

I'm going to have to experiment with this

What is your point? It is essentially the same thing, except that my method works with Blockland saves.

Me too. I'm not sure how functional the bots will actually be yet. They need a more advanced assignment system for objectives.

[waterdoom13]

Um... Would you need events to a certain brick with a couple of Node bricks so the bot will find a path to go there?
Cause right now i made an small build to test it out the the bots don't seem to Use the node bricks.

Make sure that all node bricks are within sight of another node brick. The bot spawns, capture points, etc. must also be in sight of a node brick.

Come to think of it, bots will currently only follow node bricks to get to capture points.

edit: Ugh I forgot to add/finish a lot of things before I released this.

[waterdoom13]

Thank you.

Well, with nodes, you can actually link them with each other, giving bots an idea that they can walk along the line just fine.
It's really easy to use and it doesn't rise the brickcount, and you can just hide/unhide it all with a simple function.
And about the saving, Port made his nodes work with saves for ZAMB. Here's the github.
I'm pretty sure an "onSaveLoad" kind of function exists so you can call "loadNodes" there.

Well,I am confused,I am using "Territory" so I use Capture Points. Now,I have set up Nodepoints and they are all visible,DO i need to enable Ray casting or somethin? Because bots dont use it at all,THey also do not notice each other.

Try enabling "use all players' bricks". Also, make sure that you use the team-fill bots.
