Ok, so I just made a 3cp map, and i loaded up the map, i typed in nav_generate, it reloaded the world, but the bots still dont move? The medic bots of course still run in circles around their patients, but the rest of the bots dont do anything, I have playtested the map myself, all the control points work, but the bots dont care? Please help.

The bots haven't been updated since launch, I believe. This means that the bots simply won't work on gamemodes that weren't there from the start.

look at the nav mesh using nav_edit 1 and see if you can find anything weird. you should see a bunch of squares on the ground

Yes, i have looked at the nav mesh, everything seems normal, all the squares have blue lines indicating walkable connections between them, but my knowledge of nav meshes are fairly limited, is there supposed to be any special squares or markers over control points as there are none here.

To the extent of my limited knowledge of bots and navigation, the bots have a target goal, that goal is defined by payload carts or control points, the bots work on all 5cp, koth, and attack defend maps, including my map - assault, which is (in terms of logic entities) not an actual attack/defend map, as it is only 1 point, but the bots work flawlessly on it. Weird, valve should update bots, or at least make more information about them avalable to the public.

Hmm, odd, they do work normally, but after some time, some time being quite a while of sitting in spawn doing nothing, but they do work, now i need to know why they sit in spawn for multiple minutes.


[EDIT] They begin to move after the mid point is unlocked, this thread was a fault of my impatience, now i just need to reduce the time to unlock the mid point at the start of a round.

that's not very accurate
