Hey there, Is there any commands/orders that players can give to bots ? I remember in Quake 3, the players could give simple commands to fellow bots to improve support: follow, defend, kill [username], etc. (check here for more) albeit only the team leader can issue such orders (the team leader could be given to another player at anytime). If i'm not mistaken, this function was input in the game core from the original release, whereas in ET F-A servers we are using Omnibot (right ?) Example: I was just playing on Jay1, the map was baserace, each team has 3 players, rest was filled with bots to reach 12-13 slots in each team. NB: Baserace is basically a CTF map with more complex/interesting game mechanics. All axis bots were on defense. They were standing a position inside their base and not making any move until an enemy was in the nearby. All allies bots were on offense: they were following routes with waypoints, i.e. they were running to the flags. It seemed pretty obvious their behaviors were specifically different. A direct consequence is that the game balance is altered. It reminds me we should be able to issue some basics orders to the bots, can we? I've googled this topic and found plenty of pages for the server side commands (setup of the server), but nothing for client side, in-game orders. Any input appreciated. As usual, in case i haven't post at the right place, please feel free to moderate appropriately.
