Description:
Allows admins to create a bot which can be fully controlled, e.g. move it and handle its menus, etc.

Why?
I didn't see many examples of making a bot in these forums, so i decided to make one.
This plugin can also be used for testing purposes, I myself hate asking other people to join my server to test some little stuff, then when I find an error, they have to wait on the server for ages before I get it fixed
Mostly its just for fun though

Commands:
amx_botadd <name> - create a new bot
amx_botexec <cmd> - execute a command on your bot
amx_botmove <0-2> - make your bot move:
* 0: off
* 1: copy your movements
* 2: same as #1 + aim the same spot when shooting
* 3: look the opposite way and do the opposite moves
amx_botcmds <1/0> - when enabled, all owner commands are sent to his/her bot
amx_botdel - kick your bot from the server

Server cvars:
potti_hudcolor <r g b> - changes the color of the hud message
potti_hudpos <x y> - changes the position of the hud message

Note:
When executing commands, only engine cmds will work, so for example cvars cannot be changed.
Also, I recommend you bind a button to "messagemode amx_botexec", it will be more comfortable to use than opening console every time.


To Do:
- nothing really (don't feel like messing with buyzone)

Known bugs:
- (cs) when owner is dead, pressing duck will open the specmenu which is really annoying
- (cs) can't open buymenu via fullcontrol mode if not in buyzone (or dead)


Changelog:
1.00 - Initial release
1.10 - Added full control mode (changing weapons through slot-keys is also possible now)
- Shows money left on a bot when a buymenu is opened
1.20 - Modified so everyone (with access) can have their own bot
- Cstrike-module is no more needed to display money
- After dying, the owner will automatically move to spectating to his/her bot if botmove is on
- Messages printed to a bot (to center and chat) are shown to its owner too
- Fixed bot latency to show as "BOT"
- More efficient msec calculations
- Other little improvements
1.30 - Added support for The Specialists (press 6 to switch to kungfu when in fullcontrol mode)
- Added botmove 3 to make the bot do the opposite of the owner
- Added a hudtext to show player health, weapon, etc.
- Access level changed from "m" to "p" ^_^
- Removed mod specific definitions
1.40 - Changed owner input hooking style, making it possible for bots to walk and use impulses (flashlight, spray, ..)
- A little tweaking here and there

Credits:
Botman - the source of PODBots helped alot while doing this
Lord of Destruction - aim_at_origin() -function base took from set_client_aiming()
THE_STORM - more efficient msec calculations (from ePODbot)
strelomet - display bot latency as "BOT" (from YaPB)
Orangutanz - thanks for pointing out the few improvements
Karko - thanks for helping with adding support for TS


You need Fakemeta module to run this

any help on solving the bugs will be greatly appreciated
btw, the plugin is only tested on cs, would be great if someone tested it over on some other mods

I have a little better whole fix... somehow(not coding terms) make an iframe which just takes all commands and puts them to the bot...

I don't know AMXX Natives completly yet, it has to be possible.

Instead of redefining the button constants you can include engine_const ;)

Nice job.

updated to v1.10

- added full control mode, you can now change weapons via slot-keys too (this is done through a fakemenu which catches menuselect and so on.. i dont like it but didnt see any other option )
- shows money left on a bot when a buymenu is opened
- and changed the defines to engine_const.inc as suggested

there's a new definition too: MOD_CSTRIKE
im still hoping that somebody could test it on other mods, like dod..
u just need to undefine the above and change the weapon constants above plugin_init()

csw defines are just the weapon constants for cs,
for dod theyre DODW_* which can be found in dodconst.inc

no crash bugs or anything?
Does the bot appear to be a player? Like ent 1-maxplayers and shows up on scoreboard (TAB)?

New msec calculation
Code:
new Float:msec global_get(glb_frametime, msec) msec *= 1000.0
Place the last 2 lines in your StartFrame_Post function, nothing else is required
Credit: THE_STORM (ePODbot)

Display BOT in scoreboard
Code:
set_user_info(id, "*bot", "1")
Credit: strelomet (YaPB)

Also since I have a Bot API in development, that:
engfunc(EngFunc_RunPlayerMove,bot,botangles,botmove[0],botmove[1],0.0,botbuttons,0,msec)

I find the part highlighted in bold, does nothing

Instead of this:
Code:
new Float:CoreAngles[3] CoreAngles[0] = Radian2Degree(floatatan(DeltaOrigin[2] / Distance2D(DeltaOrigin[0], DeltaOrigin[1]),0)) CoreAngles[1] = Radian2Degree(floatatan(DeltaOrigin[1] / DeltaOrigin[0],0)) if(DeltaOrigin[0] >= 0.0) CoreAngles[1] += 180.0
You can do this:
Code:
engfunc(EngFunc_VecToAngles, DeltaOrigin, botangles)
More efficient IMHO
