Recently I have Been tormenting myself with getting bots to work on a map where they previously would not move.
I was able to get bots to move to certain degrees of success with the Engineer, Sniper, Spy, and Medic (doesn't count because he follows his heal target when a nav is generated).
Engineer bot has the most hints of data i could force onto the nav so I was able to get him to do what I wanted the most.

things I have found that help me dictate bot behaviors that could be of help to you:
-ammo/health pickups
-bot_action_point <--best one here
-bot_hint_engineer_nest
-bot_hint_sentrygun
-bot_hint_sniper_spot
-bot_hint_teleporter_exit
-func_nav_avoid
-func_nav_prefer
-func_nav_blocker

there are some others but I didn't find them changing to much of the bot behavior

This Thread is to hopefully help others hopefully make bots do tasks/objectives on maps where they previously wont; and a place to share ways to help others.
