Author Topic: A bot that helps kill  (Read 863 times)

Hello, im making a zombie survival, and I wanted to know if there is a way to make bots help you kill zombies. I already know how to give them guns and make them patrol an area, but how would you make it kill other zombies, like a kill closest zombie event?

Thanks for reading. Please provide any information that you know of.

Cheers' :)

If you're using bot holes for the zombies and blockheads I think the blockheads automatically attack the zombies and run, you could try events like set search radius and stuff.

He's looking for a bot that focuses on killing zombie bots alone and not the player. While they do have some priority, they frequently attack the closest threat.

theres events to disable them attacking players

Make your bots team friendly and use the followplayer output event. They'll veer away from you to kill zombies, but they'll come straight back once you get far enough or if they kill the threat facing them. Now, unfortunately, you're going to realize that friendly-bot fire is going to ruin everything. For that, i'm sorry. I have no solution for that. You'd think it be more wide-spread, but people don't use bots as much as they should I think. You could use slayer to disable friendly fire with bots, but you can't really uh..."event" them. They will still attack hole-zombies, but you can't get them to follow you. Idk. I'm just starting out with slayer. Maybe you can, but I don't know how. Anyway, that's how you can get a bot to help you kill zombies. Make sure to use the power-on, power-off event to give yourself some space, as they will often block your way. And yes, as that other guy said, they will attack hole-zombies automatically, as well as any team of regular hole-bots you "event" to oppose you.
Does this uh...does this help at all? ( :)

coop bots would be fun. they follow you and help you killz

also would make a great way to have deathmatches.
players would buy/find/earn up a little gang of bots to run around with them lol

Ahe, (dude above me) you can do that NOW with the bot update.

Seriously, does anyone actually utilize bots to their full potential? I swear, for years, I've been that lone wolf that would rather make a bot TDM rather than join a player TDM.

I used to do this all the time with Rotondo's zombie mod.
