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

Adding related MapRoutes section for clarity

What happens if in your case  Weight  = 2, ?

My problem is the wished path got Weight = 5, but BOT go on shortest path always. Same as if is none defined routing to Cappoint goal. 

It seems like there is an error in one of the files but program not indicate that when I starting map.
