yup.

Idea, though it's going to work with the TDM-Mod, ask Space Guy to script some parts of it

[Unwritten Calender]

If I can contact him, I suppose I could.
EDIT: I send him a PM. I hope he helps :D

What do you mean by theme?

He means that not many people would have the addon, just a few servers. The servers that have it will build challenges/maps around the bots so that the are better incorporated into the game instead of just slapping it on a DM.

Sorry I haven't been working too much. Major problems with my computer, I just now got the internet to work...

Well, you first need a new playertype.

Then a new function to spawn an AI-Player with that playertype near you and let him follow you.
Then we could add some new servercmd's to let the robot play an animation, like holding a weapon and then drop it, so you can pick it up.

I think the scripting could be done easily, but the playertype would be hard

Good job restating everything we've said.

I have the model; the body looks like a square but in the back it is round.

Ok, here's my really quick MS paint version with no legs:

Similar to this, I guess.
Medbot, btw.

Here's my attempt. It'd be half the player height.

Nice, that's like a blocko version of mine.

That's what I was going for.

That is pretty epic looking.

Bots should just be automated, maybe with some small control. These wouldn't be very useful in open battlefields if you have to control their every move, you would get shot before you could get it to help you.

Did you read the OP. It'd be like a RTS. The bots would attack and assist on their own, players would just direct them for more specific commands.

The attack bot attacks, but if you want him to attack a specific person you use the laser.
Same goes for medi bots and stuff, to make them do their action on something specific, you use the laser.

This idea has some great potential; if someone doesn't make this I am going to be pissed.
