Fastrack
- only use this in cases where the goal is not auto detected
- /bot goal_create plant <name>
- /bot draw_oids
- this will draw a bounding box around all OID's; which is the type of entity required
- confirm the name of the OID in the center of the bounding box
- face the OID and /bot goal_setproperty trace after making sure to be outside of the bounds of the desired OID
- the center of the screen will say which entity the trace found
- confirm that the entity number in the center print matches what is shown inside the bounding box from draw_oids
- optionally set the explosive type with /bot goal_setproperty etype <type>
- dyno = only engineers will use this goal
- satchel = only covert ops will use this goal
- both = both engineers and covert ops will use this goal
- optionally add a cover spot by going to a location and facing the desired direction.
- /bot goal_setproperty coverspot 0
- add as many as you like using the last param as the index number. use an existing index num to 'move' it.
- /bot goal_setproperty coverstance crouch while standing next to the cover spot
- stance is optional and defaults to stand. valid values are stand, crouch, and prone
- /bot goal_setproperty coverfacing 1 while standing next to the cover spot
- works similar to the camp goals
- /bot goal_finish

Detailed Instructions
Description
- Plant is a goal that allows bots to use dynamite or satchels to destroy and objective
Setup
- See the Fastrack example at the top of the page for an example setup.
Properties
- Properties can be set with the goal_setproperty command assuming that the goal has been selected.
group
- A group is a method of organizing sets of goals. One advantage to this is that all goals in a group can be enabled or disabled in one line of script rather than seperate goal types requiring additional lines to enable or disable them. Assigning roles to a group is also possible as an alternative to assigning each individual goal a role.
- syntax: /bot goal_setproperty group <string groupName>
- example: /bot goal_setproperty group myGroup
role
- See the section on bot roles.
- syntax: /bot goal_setproperty role <role mask>
- example: /bot goal_setproperty role 1
tagname
- Sets the name of the goal. This can optionally be set when passed as the optional parameter in the goal_create command. Useful for renaming goals.
- syntax: /bot goal_setproperty tagname <string name>
- example: /bot goal_setproperty tagname myGoalName
RandomUsePoint
- Default value is 0 which means that bots will use only the nearest use point. It is good for walls which can be planted from both sides if a map has multiple spawns. But you usually define multiple use points because objective is big or because you want to randomize dynamite positions. Then you must change RandomUsePoint to 1.
- syntax: /bot goal_setproperty randomusepoint <0/1>
- example: /bot goal_setproperty randomusepoint 1
trace
- Runs a trace based on where the player is aiming and stores the information for the goal.
- syntax: /bot goal_setproperty trace
- example: /bot goal_setproperty trace
- example: /bot goal_setproperty trace clear
- note: the trace must be to an OID entity.
EntityName
- Sets name of the objective entity. It is faster than trace.
- syntax: /bot goal_setproperty entityname <entity name>
- example: /bot goal_setproperty entityname barrier
IgnoreEntity
- This property should be used only if trace property does not work, because TraceLine can't find OID entity or if function GetDestroyableState always returns -1. After you set ignoreentity to true, you must use function SetAvailableMapGoals to enable or disable goal. The goal is not automatically disabled after the objective has been destroyed.
- syntax: /bot goal_setproperty ignoreentity <0|1>
- example: /bot goal_setproperty ignoreentity
etype
- Sets the explosive type for the goal
- syntax: /bot goal_setproperty etype <type>
- example: /bot goal_setproperty etype dyno
- example: /bot goal_setproperty etype satchel
- example: /bot goal_setproperty etype both
- note: defaults to both
CoverSpot
- Defines a location for the engineer to go to after planting dynamite so it will defend it
- syntax: /bot goal_setproperty coverspot <index>
- example: /bot goal_setproperty coverspot 0
- example: /bot goal_setproperty coverspot clear
- note: the first facing is auto generated based on player facing.
- note: any number of spots can be defined. to edit an existing one, pass the existing index
CoverStance
- Assigns a stance to the cover spot closest to the player
- syntax: /bot goal_setproperty coverstance <stand, crouch, or prone>
- example: /bot goal_setproperty coverstance crouch
CoverFacing
- Assigns a facing to the cover spot closest to the player
- syntax: /bot goal_setproperty coverfacing <index>
- example: /bot goal_setproperty coverfacing 0
- note: any number of facings can be defined. to edit an existing one, pass the existing index
CoverSplit
- Sets vector3 perpendicular to objective (normal vector). It is used for walls or gates which can be planted from both sides. It's usually on maps where a forward flag can be captured by disguised covertops or reached from sewers.
- syntax: /bot goal_setproperty coversplit
- note: The goal must have at least 2 use points.
CoverTimeout
- facing from use point to goal center, only if goal has 2 use points and multiple cover spots
- syntax: /bot goal_setproperty covertimeout <int timeout>
- example: /bot goal_setproperty covertimeout 30
- note: minimum 1, maximum 30, default 25
DetonateSpot
- Defines a location for the covertops to go to after placing satchel. It is useful only near enemy spawn, long ladders or similar dangerous areas.
- syntax: /bot goal_setproperty detonatespot <index>
- example: /bot goal_setproperty detonatespot 0
- note: any number of spots can be defined. to edit an existing one, pass the existing index
SatchelFunction
- It can be set only in OnMapLoad function. It is used to completely control a bot. Functionality is similar to a pathtrough navigation.
GetGoal("PLANT_Axis_MG42_Construction").SatchelFunction = function(_this)
{
_this.AddAimRequest(Priority.VeryHigh, "facing", Vec3( 0.494, 0.297, 0.817 ));
sleep(0.5);
_this.AddWeaponRequest(Priority.High, WEAPON.SATCHEL );
sleep(0.7);
_this.Bot.PressButton(BTN.ATTACK1);
sleep(0.2);
_this.AddWeaponRequest(Priority.High, WEAPON.SATCHEL_DET );
sleep(0.5);
_this.Bot.PressButton(BTN.ATTACK1);
};
Picture of tracing to an OID
This picture shows the process of using /bot goal_setproperty trace to get the OID to be used by the goal. The screenshot was taken after issuing the /bot draw_oids command, moving outside of the bounds, facing the bounding box, and then issuing the /bot goal_setproperty trace command. Note that the entity number listed in the TraceEnt property is the same as what is in the middle of the bounding box. That part is crucial.
