OK, but still, what is wrong with the attached waypoints?

Good afternoon, Around 2016-2017, I told Tardis I would look into his Dam Revenge V2 waypoints, because that map has an elevator, and bots are just staying at the top, doing nothing In the current SVN files, there are directly-linked waypoints with a path through property, which I believe breaks the thing; I've reworked them to avoid that, reviewed the initial Enabled states and Wait functions, and fixed the OnTrigger for the lift movement, and the 1st part almost works (going from top to bottom) But once at the bottom, the bot doesn't move away (waypoint connections are correct) I've added some prints in the goal_paththrough_useswitch.gm script to make sure there isn't any more overlap(s) between the 4 path through use switches: bot exits correctly the one he's in and does not seem to enter any other one debugbot all fpinfo indicates it is going for the correct goal at the bottom (planting pipes), no reachability issue printed in console Map download link: https://wolffiles.de/filebase/ET/Maps/dam_revengev2.zip Attached my current files; adding an Axis Engi bot will have it build the CP then go through the elevator to reach the Pipes to plant at the bottom all the time for quick reproduction of the case Thank you in advance Dam Revenge V2.zip

Edit et/scripts/goals/goal_checkstuck.gm, and set this.LogStuckage to true (l. 6)

I think by giving that switch the INFILTRATOR role, auto-given to bots in disguise; see: https://mygamingtalk.com/wiki/Roles

Hello, You can see the DepotRoof trigger from Fuel Dump script; players going in limbo do trigger OnExit IIRC, was fixed quite some time ago

Good afternoon, There's a specific spot of a TRIPMINE that does not work in 1944 Nordwind 2, next to the Allied CP, with bot stuck in a loop; while I can myself put them there: The distance to the wall is correct (made a custom command to call ETUtil.CheckTripminePosition from the goal position to make sure) Map download link: https://fearless-assassins.com/files/file/2690-1944-nordwind-21-1944_nordwind21pk3-and-waypoints/?do=download&r=13200&confirm=1&t=1&csrfKey=bbb23202fbabcff8052b2c0883131733 Attached waypoints -> Only CP and this TRIPMINE are available to Allies OnMapLoad -> CP has a higher priority to be built 1st, because the TRIPMINE is inside the build trigger of it; could that be the issue? What is the issue here? Thank you in advance 1944_nordwind2 - TRIPMINE at CP test waypoints.zip

Works perfectly, thank you once again!

Good morning, In 1944 Nordwind, I saw bots spawning at Warehouse (so Warehouse Door destroyed) wrongly following a route for BUILD_Tank once the Tank is past the Depot area Same if spawning at Axis Spawn When the Tank is damaged, there's Util.ForceRouting on I wrongly wrote the Util.ExcludeClass in Tank_Past_Depot_Area, fixed it locally From: Util.ExcludeClass( "ROUTE_Hill3", CLASS.ENGINEER ); To: Util.ExcludeClass( "ROUTE_Hill3", 0, CLASS.ENGINEER ); When typing /bot sag 3 1 0 (3 to avoid the rendering), I can see the priorities are good for Engis: 0, as expected I've edited the routes to only have the ones involving ROUTE_Hill3 available to ease testing/monitoring The Axis Engis still go through that route note, which has a 0 priority for their class Thus the question: is the route node priority taken into account in the routing processing? Or only its team availability? My goal here is to have it disabled for BUILD_Tank mainly; I could re-affect the routing tables to have it restricted only to that goal and not all Axis BUILD, but I think it's good and simple enough to just affect the priority of the route node for the Engi class ^^" (Allies don't have that route node in their routing) Map download link: https://wolffiles.de/filebase/ET/Maps/1944_nordwind.zip --- Side note: In the same context, I've scripted OnBotJoin so that Axis bots select the Warehouse spawn, then there's a spawn split function that shouldn't change it Added prints before the 3 possible calls to ChangeSpawnPoint, they correctly select spawn 4 But they still spawn at Axis Spawn, number 2 I suspect the fact spawns are quite broken on that map to be the culprit Or I've written some mistake I can't catch --- Thank you

Good evening, I'm porting the work done on 1944 Huertgen Forest Final to the Final 2 version For the BUILD_Axis_North_Path, I had to go through the custom BUILD goal setup; trace is good as far as I can see, looks the same as Glider's Assault Ramp for instance But the Axis Engi bot supposed to do it does not go for it (right role, available, reachable, rendered green) To reproduce: 5 grenades to destroy the Axis North Path on the wood logs, and just add one Axis bot (it will automatically be DEFENDER1, and its highest available goal is the North Path) Attached the waypoints Map download link: https://wolffiles.de/filebase/ET/Maps/1944_Huertgen_Final211.zip Using recently compiled DLL from GitHub repo What's wrong? ^^" Thank you in advance Regards 1944 Huertgen Forest (Final 2) - Axis North Path issue.zip

Good evening, I'm trying to manage spawning to avoid bots bottle-necking the single and narrow exit of a spawn... I had a first try at it in 1944 Nordwind, that I thought working well enough Now copying and tweaking it in 1944 Huertgen showed bots don't obey MoveTowards their own position, unlike when using Goto in navigational path through or goal Map download link: https://wolffiles.de/filebase/ET/Maps/1944_huertgen_forest.zip Should I replace the region trigger by a large waypoint covering the spawn hut with a path through, or is MoveTowards wrongly used or not working in some cases? Should I create a custom high-priority goal (like the one you made for me years ago, goal_stopbots), and give it/remove it from bots through the algo? You'll find below a sample code; I've added a print which shows bots just go further and further away from their target position, to the point they're still managed by the algo even though they're outside the spawn... Breaking the closest bot calculation The sleep before releasing the mutual exclusion is given a high value to ease the observation (originally 0.75) Attached in a ZIP gm+way (one named waypoint used to position the spawn exit for distance calculation) global Map = { Debug = 1, // Please set to zero before distributing your script // Avoid spawn exit bottleneck // Only care about bots... // Class/weapon not taken into account (aka heavy weaps slowing down first movements) tank_spawn = { Name = "tank_spawn", TriggerOnClass = CLASS.ANYPLAYER, closestBot, mutex = false, botList = {}, OnEnter = function( ent ) { bot = Util.IsBot( ent ); if ( !bot ) { return; } Map.tank_spawn.botList[ bot ] = 1; // Immediately capture current bot position // If we use GetPosition in the loops, the position is modified because the bot moves... botPos = bot.GetPosition(); // Little sleep to let all spawning bots be listed sleep ( .1 ); while ( bot && bot.Health > 0 && Map.tank_spawn.mutex ) { // Don't move until it's your turn to enter the mutex bot.MoveTowards( botPos, 8 ); Map.PrintBotPos( bot, botPos ); yield(); } Map.tank_spawn.mutex = true; // Determine the closest bot from the exit, remove it from the list, make it go, sleep a bit, free the mutex, exit // If the current bot isn't the one, free the mutex and loop until it's the case...

Extra case: if a bot is about to throw a grenade at the same time the target is destroyed, it will change facing (because going for an other goal I guess), and the grenade will get thrown somewhere between these 2 facings ^^" I believe it should still throw the grenade at the dead target, to avoid wrongly throwing it (and avoid killing mates), since leaning does not cancel the throw unlike panzer

If there's already something to save charge for PLANT, it's perfect! My main concern was the selfkill/teamkill, but that probably happened while going for building CP then; but the spot where that issue happens and the CP location are far enough to replenish the charge Thank you for the 3 possibilities ^^

Good morning, I use roles to split bots between an east front and a west one On the west one, I'd like the Engineers to use a Thompson instead of a Garand, so that the charge isn't consumed by firing grenades instead of planting dynamite or building neutral CP for new spawn... oh, and also avoid blowing itself and sometimes teammates up that way due to narrow corridors, which neutralises the offensive heh Once a specific trigger occurs, that enforcement turns useless, because new spawn and no more roles needed I thought first of OnBotJoin, but bots don't have a role yet (I guess that's to allow the waypointer to have full control on role management before the role manager goes through to take care of it, which sounds perfect to me) So I've made a region trigger on the spawn, setting the TriggerOnClass on Engi to save a condition inside the OnEnter table; the name of the trigger is later used to delete it upon the 'specific trigger' It works well until OB sometimes wants to switch the weapon of the Engi mid-game: it makes the Engi get stuck in a spawn/selfkill loop for weapon switching, if I understand what I witnessed correctly Am I making a correct assertion here, or is it something different? How can I work around that issue? I'm kind-of going for temporary weapon prioritisation depending on team/role/class, to sum the thingy Thank you

Extra-thing I've just noticed: if a bot gets revive upon a GRENADE goal, the grenade will be dropped at its feet, since there's a delay before being able to actually shoot again, and I guess the bot tries to shoot as soon as it's revived ^^" Or the reviving Medic blocked the throw (while dispensing medkits), dunno

Hello, 1944 Huertgen Forest, with the attached WIP waypoints; Axis North Path goal, near Allied Farm spawn, the southest grenade goal is 'evaded' though actually at a safe distance I could just move it way, as I did for one of the 3 goals, but the 3 nodes are at a safe distance It's fine to have it trigger at 400 units; what I'm going for is add a check for AvoidRadius before affecting the high-priority goal making bots evade even though the ent is farther away from bot than the projectile' AvoidRadius, e. g. for the grenade entity between 400 and 320 units Aight, thank you! May I ask your pov about the other points, or do you think it's not worth considering, like benefit(s) would be too small or too much overhead to work around? 1944 Huertgen Forest.zip
