Hello. Can someone explain me what are waypoints and why are waypoints needed?

I was explained that waypoints help bots move in the map, and that's all. However, i discovered that bots can walk, attack and kill, without using waypoints.

I didn't add waypoints to maps of my ZM server, but bots can still play - walking randomly, use weapons, shoot, kill, and infect other bots, regardless of whether or not bots are humans, zombies, snipers, nemesis, assassins, survivors, etc...

So, what is the point of waypoints? How will waypoints change the bots, if i add waypoints? What changes will waypoints bring to the bots, if i add waypoints?

1. Waypoints, what are they ? Waypoints are locations in the maps that the bots will use when navigating. They allow the bot to roam about the map without having to blindly bump into walls. Waypoints can be thought of like the bread crumbs in the Hansel and Gretel story. They are something marking a path to make it easier to follow. The waypoints are not displayed while the game is being played. The bots "know" which way to go by following the path laid out by these waypoints. In order to get the bots to cover the entire map when playing the game, waypoints should be laid out all over the map. Without the waypoints the bots will just randomly run around and will tend to stay in the same area. Waypoints also allow the bot to know where specific goals are in the game. You couldn't play capture the flag unless you knew where the flag was and where the flag needed to be taken after being captured. Waypoints are what makes all of these things possible. Bots with sufficiently advanced waypoint information and algorithms would be able to find the shortest distance between points in the map and navigate from their current position to some goal on the other side of the map.

Here is how Waypoint look like and how it work. Bot have some built-in but something like NPC should be follow way point all the time

U are wrong about this

PHP Code:

I didn't add waypoints to maps of my ZM server, but bots can still play - walking randomly, use weapons, shoot, kill, and infect other bots, regardless of whether or not bots are humans, zombies, snipers, nemesis, assassins, survivors, etc... 


If u see bots,then u have waypoints for that map.
When u install bots,with that instalation come waypoints for many popular maps.
