bot_useVehicles

[JBRAA]

bot_useVehicles 0 = bots dont use vehicles, 1 = bots do use vehicles
type: bool (cheat)
default: 1 (true)

With "net_allowCheats 1" (cheats enabled), "bot_useVehicles 0" should work right?

It doesnt for me. I test with bot_useVehicles [enter] in console, and it says it is 0. I've restarted server without any different result.

Question 1: Bugg?

Question 2: In demo or released game, bot_useVehicles 0 wont require cheats will it?

Thanks for replies.

where did you set the cvar? i've noticed that the bot_* cvar changes don't work when you set them in the client console, you need to set them in the server console.

I have "seta bot_useVehicles 0" in server.cfg, which is "exec'ed" from etqwded.exe shortcut.

Edit: Does bot_useVehicles 0 work for you Joe999?

[Joe999]

haven't tried, will check when i come home from work. maybe try setting it directly in server console without seta.

doesnt work from console for me. I havent tried stopping the server and starting it with it in the config

console message:

bot_useVehicles 0
bot_useVehicles cannot be changed in multiplayer.

[Joe999]

bot_useVehicles cannot be changed in multiplayer.

if you get that "cannot be changed in multiplayer" message you need to allow cheats first: net_allowcheats 1

thanks! I was already wondering about that. bot_sleepWhenServerEmpty 1 doesn't seem to work when I set it in the server.cfg, so I tried setting it in the console... and got the above error.

bot_sleepWhenServerEmpty is marked as not being a cheat currently, so that issue will be fixed.

The bot_use***** cvars were mostly for debugging purposes for me, and were marked as cheats. I will make sure they are marked as not being cheats in the code so you can play around with them on your server in the future. :)

is there a way to make the bots say not that much? i only found chat on and off. on a full server this gets annoying in time, especially the "medic on route etc". maybe it would be interesting to have a level of chat amount

you guys did an excellent job on the bots, i didn't expect the bots to be that good tbh. they are a very good replacement to pub play and ideal for training.

[Maleficus]

Yes, I can add something to keep the general amount of chatter down.

BTW: cool sig.

Awesome! Thanks! :D

yay! I am trying to get the bots to stop using vehicles too. Glad to see it's not just me.

using bot_knifeonly though is kind of funny. To have 16 strogg chasing you with spikes while you try to three shot them.
