Hello
I created the two maps in the following link/download using a bots script for bots on both sides in CTF
by applying only one side of the bots I then have a map that its players Vs bots in CTF
the problem is players can join both sides and re-spawn times are sometimes 40seconds
http://aussierampage.com/smf/downloads/VietcongMaps1.6/%7bAUR%7dNVA_VCBotsUSbots2Xmaps.zip
Now I would like to know if anyone knows how to make scripts if they can make a script for one side bots only
with a 10 second re-spawn time and players can only join the players side and not the bots side when playing.
I would be happy with VC bots only but 2 sets of scripts one being for VC and the other set for US would be better
I could then make the same map playable both ways players Vs VC or Players Vs US.
I used a pack I downloaded "can't remember where from" that explained how to add the bots to a map using
the files in that pack,,, problem being the files were .scr files and not .c files and the way to apply it was by renaming
all the .scr files to .c adding the scripts to the game and then renaming the .c files back to .scr before finalizing the map.
this works good but doesn't give me the options to edit the script files to try work out my self the options I want.
Maybe if someone still has the bots script in its raw .c format they could share it and I will try and work it our me self.

Techno, i think you are talking about NIX´s CTF Bot scripts...
I agree with Ando, but it will be much work.
Not so much, simply search flag object, go there and if picked up, go back to own flag position.
But - sure - special thing - search for stolen flag - get position of enemy with flag, go there (kill him) and return flag.
Simply
EDIT:
For entering only to one side (as US) use SC_MP_SRV_SetForceSide(0) command in your ctf script in case SC_NET_MES_LEVELINIT: section. If you need details, search in SDK manual.
SC_MP_SRV_SetForceSide(0) for US side only
SC_MP_SRV_SetForceSide(1) for VC side only
works great, That's all I needed to change to do what I wanted, thanks heaps for that
if (set.ctf_respawntime>1.0f){
return set.ctf_respawntime;
}
val = SC_ggf(400);
if (val==0) val = 25;
return val;
}
Here...
0 = Default
///////////////
if (val==0)
{
val = 25;
}
return val;
//////////////
I think there is few bugs. If it it original CTF script I wonder how it can be functional...
val is float, it means you cannot check if this is ==0 (better <0.0f) and then you cannot store val = 25 (try val = 25.0f)
BUT - i still think respawntime is stored in set.ctf_respawntime (readed from server settings) because the second part with val is used only if set.ctf_respawntime<=1.0f (0 seconds)
Edit:
Hehe, if you want to override server settings, try something like this:
Code
float GetRecovTime(void){
float val;
val = SC_ggf(400);
if (val<=0.0f) val = 25.0f;
return val;
}
val = SC_ggf(400);
if (val<=0.0f) val = 25.0f;
return val;
}
this code works good with the current edits for 1 side player spawn and with your code an instant respawn
but I found that this ctf.c with the currect edits works with coop bots only, If I add the ctf bots they don't spawn. do the same thing
but with coop bots and the bots spawn ok.
the ctf bots I have are from here follow this link
http://www.vietcong-customs.com/download.php?action=popup&kat_id=1&fileid=17&img=1&s_string=TDMC
Is there away to over-ride this and have all bots spawn.
I tried SC_MP_EnableBotsFromScene(TRUE);
but again only good with coop bots and not ctf bots.
the website to the creator of the 4x4bots does not work anymore; there for I cant ask for support from the creator of 4x4bots.
Thanks for helping me out,
I have been playing with the script for the passed x amount of hrs now and I can't find away to work it out.
I have been studying the vietcong scripting and trying all kinds of things, best option I can do was UScoop and VCcoop replace the ctfbots, now it works like this but problem is there coop and not ctfbots, so you will have a fight but they don't go for the flag lol.
If only I knew how to tell the vc_000.c script to go for the flag as well then that would solve this problem.
I have searched the web as well but there are allot of places in German CZ and more that I can't read. I also tried a translator but the pages don't fully load :)
If anyone knows where to find the original ctfbot.c scripts or have them, please share.
