Omni-bot Command Reference

Console Commands

Omni-bot comes with a wide range of utilities in the form of console commands for general purpose usage as well as debugging tools for waypointing. You can also add/write your own commands into file et_autoexec_user.gm or rtcw_autoexec_user.gm in scripts folder.

• How to open console and execute command
• Goal Commands
• Waypoint Commands

addbot

Do NOT use this command on dedicated servers. Command maxbots must be used on servers. If you play game on your home computer and you want bots to be added automatically, you can use command maxbots too. If you want to add bots manually every time you start the game, you should use command ab. Command addbot is useful only if you need unbalanced teams.

 syntax: bot addbot <optional team> <optional class> <optional name>
 example: /bot addbot 2 1 bob will add a soldier named bob to the allied team in ET

team: 1 = Axis, 2 = Allies

class: 1 = Soldier, 2 = Medic, 3 = Engineer, 4 = Field Ops, 5 = Covert Ops

Note: Command addbot chooses bot's name randomly. Command ab chooses names according to team and class as defined in file et_botnames_ext.gm.

Note: Bots select their class every time they spawn. If you want to set classes manually, you must change DisableClassManager value to 1 in file et_autoexec.gm.

debugbot

Enables debugging output on a specific bot or all bots.

 syntax: bot debugbot botname debugtype
 example: bot debugbot all fpinfo

debug types: log, move, script, fpinfo, planner, events, failedpaths, aim, sensory, steer, target

Debug type can also be a ScriptGoal name to toggle Debug property.

debugtriggers

Prints triggers to console.

 syntax: bot debugtriggers <optional 1/0/on/off> <optional regular expression>
 usage: used for checking or identifying trigger names to be used with map scripting. when turned on, you will see 
        messages about events as they occur in the map:
 
 <+++> Trigger: TagName: The Tank has been repaired! Action: announce Entity: 0x7016dd8c Activator: 0
 
 <+++> means that a callback (trigger) is set up and has been called, while <---> means no callback is associated
 TagName is the string to use for the OnTrigger function in the map script
 Action is the category in which the event is recognized
 
 notes: this is a toggle. issuing the command a second time will turn it off.
