It is very hard to get bots to do what you want them to do. Sometimes they can get stuck or need help to get to some cans. There are going to be some issues.

Machine...

This is fucking amazing sir...

Another one of the long standing issues with the game all fixed up.

Great work!

Just caught another bug, redownload and tell me if I missed any more. :)

Re: [L4D2] ScavengeBots
 

Wow, really good one.

It hadn't crossed my mind to use Command a Bot to move them to a gas can and back to where it's needed.

As for the issues, these are inevitable, the AI by itself already has enough issues as it is, so I wouldn't worry too much about how dumb they can be when scavenging.

But good job nonetheless.

Re: [L4D2] ScavengeBots
 

So how does one add the coordinates for custom campaigns for the cfg?

Re: [L4D2] ScavengeBots
 

I THINK it's just a matter of adding the map name and the coordinates for where the entity that you pour gas into is located.

I guess you would use the Hammer editor to view them?

Re: [L4D2] ScavengeBots
 

Its not the origin of the nozzle, its the origin the survivor stands when he pours the gas. The angles is when you look at the nozzle from that position. This is basically the biggest trick in this plugin. It teleports the bots to that origin/angle to enable him to 'use' the gascan.

Easiest way to get origin/angle for your custom map is to move to the gas nozzle while looking at it then open the console and type getpos_exact. This will tell you your exact origin and angles. Write these down and add that information to the cfg.

This don't work for me.

Re: [L4D2] ScavengeBots
 

I remember another user had a similar issue.

Update to the latest version of Sourcemod, that should fix the issue.
