Changes: Bots

Revision as of 22:34, 24 January 2019

Bots are ingame CPU used to fill in empty player slots. Their AI is currently underdeveloped, so they don't pose much of a threat beyond their aim.

Bots will not attack until they have picked up a gun.
Bots will never hold down attack and instead fire individually. They do not detect cooldown or autofire.
Bots will always go for the first weapon they see, except when another bot is currently targeting that weapon.
Bots do not roll unless their health reaches below 50%.
An injured bot will always walk just off screen and begin healing after killing another player/CPU. They do not seek cover while doing so and will not react to other players unless attacked.
Bots do not detect armor, grenades, bananas, coconuts, or mole crates.
Bots will stick with the first 2 weapons they acquire. They cannot detect weapons after acquiring two and thus will not attempt to seek better weapons.
Bots focus on the first player they see and will not attack other targets until their current target is dead or no longer visible.
Bots can detect player direction movement and can properly lead shots. This makes their shots quite accurate.

Bots can appear as any species through the level 10 set.
Bots can only be base breeds and will not appear as alternates.
Bots can have any item that can be randomly acquired after a match.
Bots will not wear items unlocked by winning rounds, or unlocked through the founders pack or late night.

There are currently 73 different names each bot can have. No two bots will have the same name in the same round.
