How I could block only robots, not players?

[Hyperion]

I have this very unique problem with my MvM payload map where I have to block robots from getting the intel. For a1 I used func_forcefield but it has buggy sidefeature that pulls players with it (but doesn't otherwise prevent movement). Another known option is func_respawnroom_visualiser but it has exactly same bug.

So, if anyone knows any other way to block only robots, I would appreciate help.

Now, this may be a bad solution, but you could try a trigger_push with a a team filter.

Use a func_respawnroomvisualizer set to the red spawnroom. It's essentially a playerclip that only affects the blue team.

I'm not entirely sure what that bug is, but it shouldn't be happening...
Looking at the little video it seems as though the tracktrain has the wrong setting for making turns. It should be set to turn "Near path_tracks"

It doesnt have wrong setting, it just has long wheelbase

What about a func_nav_avoidset to Blue team? Doesn't that physically force any bots to avoid that area?

But you'd still be able to get robots within the area, for instance by airblasting them in.

Would a func_nav_avoid paired with a respawnroom visualiser parented to a red spawn room work? The bots won't allow themselves past the func_nav_avoid and the visualiser would be solid for them anyway if they were airblasted or such.

func_nav_avoid doesn't really work like that, unless you have a nav_interface that recomputes blockers every couple of seconds (which is gonna be horrible for the server, especially if the wave opens the floodgates on spam)

Hmm. I read somewhere that to make robots take specific routes you would use func_nav_avoids to stop them from going into specific bits and func_nav_prefered to make them favour a main route

Bump if anyone has any more ideas
