BIG NEWS! You can still event slayer bots from their spawn. I'm assuming people already knew this, but for me, this is the biggest. I can't even begin to explain how happy I am! I can officially make a bot follow me through a zombie campaign with the added luxurious variable of lives and (tehee the best part!) NO FRIENDLY FIRE! (save some weapons) Greek, you don't even really need path nodes anymore! Sure, they make things easier, (and I'd keep the rally points) but players can now just event them to follow you or go to a brick and do whatever once they reach that brick. You've broke the bot threshold my friend!....I hope that's a good thing.
To say the least, I feel like I've finally got my money's worth out of this game. (No offense. I just like bots.)
I feel the need to inform you of a small bug though. All nodes on the bots appearance save the shirt (since I chose that node to be a certain color) turn black when you event them. It also turns out that a bots playertype causes the bot to "disappear" at times. Tactical player is one of these playertypes. Anyway, I hope you keep working on this.
