I have a bot server where I wrote a respawn plugin.
I use this to do the respawns
CS_RespawnPlayer(client);

Everything is working except that CT bots that spawn after the bomb is planted don't move until you shoot them or go up to them and start interacting with them.

I have a way to know which bots are stuck.
I save off their position when I respawn them and set a timer for a few seconds on them.
When this timer fires I check their current position with the saved one and if it is the same (or very close to the same) location they are "stuck".

What I need help with is what should I do to the bots in the script to wake them up?

I have their client ID in the stuck timer check but can someone show me how to wack them or whatever to try to get them moving?

This problem with AI code, I have fix but only for money

I added the following slap right after respawing them and they seem to not be getting stuck now,
but then for testing I took this code OUT and they still! seem to not be getting stuck now.

Maybe this is a map specifice thing?
Maybe it only happens if more than one human is on the server?
I have more testing to do obviously.

But thanks for the reply.

PHP Code:

CS_RespawnPlayer(client);

if(IsFakeClient(client) && GetClientTeam(client) == 3 && bombIsPlanted)
    SlapPlayer(client, 0);

This is definitely not solved.

I tried all sorts of things and nothing works 100%.
Some percent of the CT bots that are
CS_RespawnPlayer(client);
after the bomb plant are stuck.

I noticed if I walk up to them from behind when they hear my footsteps they wake up
so I tried playing footsteps sounds near them after re spawing but it doesn't wake them up.

One clue that I noticed while testing is
All bots added with

Bot_add_ct
After the bomb plant will be added to the server dead.

Bot_add_ct
Before the bomb plant adds them alive.

Does your fix require using the newer
mp_bot_ai_bt "//scripts/ai..."
I am not using that but getting more interested in checking it out.

Anyone?

My fix using setup some memory CCSBot variables. Not behavior tree AI

Are you using the CS:GO command to add bots to the server or are you creating fake clients by yourself?

Creating fake clients is kinda messy as you can spawn the bots but they won't move. Adding bots through the existing game command should make them move around

Thanks for the reply.
I am aware of the fake client problem.
This is a totally different problem.

I am using
CS_RespawnPlayer(client);
and I have tried instead of respawning them,
kicking the bot that is being respawned and then using
ServerCommand("bot_add_ct");

For this problem,
It only affects CT bots added or respawned after the bomb is planted.

After the Bomb is Planted:
1) ct bots added using bot_add_ct are added to the server dead instead of alive
2) CS_RespawnPlayer(client); Some percent of the bots will be stuck until somethign interacts with them.

I found this post with a fix for this.

This definitely fixes the ct bots that respawn after the bomb plant are sometimes stuck problem.

Thanks goes out to backwards for this code / idea.

PHP Code:

if(IsFakeClient(client) && bombIsPlanted)
{
    CS_RespawnPlayer(client);
    ent = -1;
    ent = FindEntityByClassname(ent, "planted_c4");
    if(ent != -1)
    {
        float c4_position[3];
        float player_position[3];
        GetEntPropVector(ent,            Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", c4_position);
        GetEntPropVector(client,    Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", player_position);
        TeleportEntity(client, c4_position, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
        
        Event BombPlanted = CreateEvent("bomb_planted");
        if(BombPlanted != null)
        {
            SetEventInt(BombPlanted, "userid", client);            
            SetEventInt(BombPlanted, "site", bombSite);
            FireEvent(BombPlanted, true);
        }
        TeleportEntity(client, player_position, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
    }
}
else
{
    CS_RespawnPlayer(client);
    ent = -1;
    ent = FindEntityByClassname(ent, "weapon_c4");
    if(ent != -1 && (GetRandomInt(1, 10) <= 7))
    {
        //DebugLog("Found weapon_c4");
        float c4_position[3];
        float player_position[3];
        GetEntPropVector(ent,            Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", c4_position);
        GetEntPropVector(client,    Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", player_position);
        TeleportEntity(client, c4_position, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
        TeleportEntity(client, player_position, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
    }            
} 


I noticed a side effect this has is the bots really go for the bomb now so I am not limiting this to just CT bot but also T bot so the respawned T bots now "report in" better to the planted bomb site.

This made me think it might make for even better game play if I also did this for respawned bots "showing" them where the bomb is when dropped and being carried.

It works!
In fact it works too good and I had to put in a random chance and bump it down to only showing the non planted bomb 70% of the time.

This significantly improves the bot game play when the bomb is planted or not!
