Routing and weight

[vargatom]

Hi Everyone!

 

Why do BOTs ignore weight during movement and always take the object on the same path? Has anyone encountered this fault? Thanks for the helpful comments!

Hello,

I just performed a test on Seawall Battery

There's a definition for DEFEND_Flag_.* (5 nodes) with a weight of 3 involved

	MapRoutes["DEFEND_Flag_.*"] =
	{
		ROUTE_AxisSpawn =
		{
			ROUTE_flagroute = { Weight = 3 },
			ROUTE_gunpatrol = {},
			ROUTE_southstairs =
			{
				ROUTE_guntop = { ROUTE_guntop = {}, },
			},
		},
	};

I've written a command to move all 15 spawned Axis bots to spawn #1 (Axis Main Bunker, where ROUTE_AxisSpawn is; command calling ETUtil.SuicideSpawn), and an other command so these DEFEND spots are the only available goals to them (e. g. a SetAvailableMapGoals called through a console command)

I had all 15 bots go through the 3-weighted route (flagroute) 3 times in a row

I know the CAMP-type goals are limited to a single bot, but I'd expect sometimes a bot to go through one of the 2 other routing nodes (gunpatrol and southstairs)

Is this test biased in some way? Or any misunderstanding of weight behaviour/probabilities behind?

Regards

Edit: 5 Axis bots, 10 times with the help of kt command, always through the bottom 3-weighted node
