I am sure that i'm not the only one that would love it if the bots in L4D2 to use the special ammo packs.

I'm currently using the Gear Transfer plugin to make the bots pick up items so i don't think there is a need to code them to pick up the packs.

Here is some of my ideas on how the bots could decide when to deploy an ammo pack:

When their primary weapon ammo is below X%.
OR
When a Tank spawns on the map.
OR
When a Witch spawns on the map.
OR
(Explosive ammo only) When a horde spawns on the map.
OR
Just on a random timer.

I would literally worship the person who could make this happen!

I'd like a plugin that does this as well.

Idea: Perhaps a plugin like this could also include an admin command that activates the script for the bots to deploy an ammo pack. That way, in the event that an ammo pack is unexpectedly needed, a present admin can trigger the plugin's main function.

That would be a useful addition.

Like the idea! Okay, give me time to do this as it should be easy enough.

THANK YOU!
I think you might be the first one to do something like this. Atleast i haven't found anything like it from anywhere.
Would you be so kind and take a look of my other idea about bots using mounted turrets?

Trying it right now!

NICE it works! They do deploy packs on hordes but not on tanks.

EDIT: Also they only seem to deploy a pack once per map.

I see the results are good. Hmm, quite odd on the tank part. Maybe "tank_spawn" event doesn't fire too often so I'll have to change it to "player_spawn" event since it almost fires on every occasion.

I have played few matches, but i have not yet seen them deploy pack on witch/tank spawns.
They do deploy to hordes but only once per map.
I can't say for sure but so far thats what i have experienced.

I added every check that you wanted which means they will only use them when:

1. Their primary weapons are running out of ammo.
   • 15 for SMGs
   • 10 for both T1 and T2 Shotguns
   • 25 for Rifles
   • 20 for Snipers
   • 30 for M60
   • 5 for Grenade Launchers
2. A tank spawning on the map.
3. A witch spawning on the map.
4. A horde spawning on the map.

Here, I fixed some bugs regarding the 'only deploy once' restriction rule I accidentally coded. Post feedbacks and/or suggestions.
