Hi, I've been working on a map, cp_urban_legend_a3a, and I want to test it against bots. BUt, when I spawn them in, all they do is sit in spawn. Why? Also, how can I fix it?

It's probably because you do not have a nav mesh. That's what tells bots where they can walk. You can generate this by turning on sv_cheats and typing nav_generate in the console.

What are you trying to test with bots? Don't test gameplay with bots. Bots have the same thinking capabilities as a goldfish. They're not smart. At all. They never use flanking routes. They never set up properly as engineers. They don't care about class balance. They're dumb.

Here's a thread explaining why bots aren't good for testing
You could use bots to help you test logic, but other than that, don't use them as a feedback source, or your map will go in the wrong direction.

Thanks. I'm just using bots to get a feel for the size of my map (distance from point to point)
