Creating a basic bot Created 2 years ago2022-03-18 23:54:54 UTC by Petko

Hi, I need some help making a very basic bot, im asking for help, beacuse all of my attempts failed.
All I used as a base for the bot is Botman's code (pretty sure I cant achive what I want with that)
The bot needs to be able to do the following:

• Activate triggers when standing in them
• Attack aliens with long range weapons (autoaim + shooting, it doesnt need to turn at all)
• Think like a player (By that I mean run think code, so physics and basic player stuff applies to it)

Help would be much appreciated.

Code I alredy wrote for the bot:

Thanks for reading!

I think the Half-Life SDK has the Counter-Strike bot code: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/tree/master/game_shared/bot
It is probably more advanced than botman's code but it won't work without a lot of modification.

@tschumann I already tried that, with not much success

I've written an article that covers the basics of creating a bot that can spawn, stand and be attacked: https://twhl.info/wiki/page/Bot_Programming_-_Getting_Started

For AI programming you'll need to look at RCBot and other bot plugins.

@Solokiller Thanks
