When I load in my map, it does not show the bot icons.
Can you figure out what is wrong with my code?
Thanks

This is just a guess; have you tried changing

Code:

"airblast disabled"
...
"heal on kill"

to

Code:

"airblast disabled" 1
...
"heal on kill" 5000 // or some amount

Also giving a bonus clip size to the pyros with the flamethrower won't do anything, bots get unlimited ammo as it is

I've done what you've said and it surely did clean up number of errors but there are still some errors.

Code:

The script is same but with the modifications you've suggested.
The wave still does not work

Code:

Mission

        where spawnbot
        Objective Engineer

thanks guys

btw Are there specific names of spawnpoints I need to use?
For example, when I put spawnbot_topleft as a spawnpoint, bots dont spawn but when I put it as spawnbot it works.
Where can I find the list of names I need to use for spawnpoints?

henke37 · May 30, 2017

You are free to name the spawnpoints in the map anything you like. Just match it up in the population script.

You're missing a curly bracket somewhere again.

Also, your vaccinator medics won't work. They will have a regular medigun with infinite uber. Do them like this:

Code:

	T_TFBot_Blast_Vaccinator
	{
		Name "Blast Vaccinator Medic"
		Class Medic
		Skill Expert
		ClassIcon medic_blast
		WeaponRestrictions SecondaryOnly
		Item "The Vaccinator"
		Attributes SpawnWithFullCharge
		Attributes VaccinatorBlast
		ItemAttributes
		{
			ItemName "The Vaccinator"
			"heal rate bonus" 10
			"medigun blast resist deployed" 2
			"medigun blast resist passive" 2
			"medigun charge is resists" 4
		}

	}

I fixed the wave not spawning problem and I will fix the vaccinator thanks

pikachufan163 · Jun 19, 2017

I'm kinda new to the whole mvm wave editing and I've got a "infinite support" wave set up but the problem is that most of the time a lot of the bots just won't spawn

Here's my pop file: mvm_decoy_BluFunGame.pop

Please could someone tell me where I'm going wrong?

Yabayabayaba · Jun 19, 2017

you can only have so many bots on screen at once, keep that in mind

Fillmore · Jun 19, 2017

22 is the hard cap of robots you can have out on the field and mvm servers are run at 32 players for that reason. You have a single Wavespawn of Scouts that are at MaxActive 32 and all of your wavespawns begin as active so your slots fill out near-instantly.

Okay well I've now set that scout's max active to 1 and I've tested it but no robots (apart from the mission spies) are spawning at all. The only errors that are showing are the ones related to the bomb scout. And it seems that the only time they do spawn is when I switch to spectator.

Update: Oh wait so I should set some up for like 10 seconds then 20 seconds etc.?

Fillmore · Jun 19, 2017

You have the following Wavespawns running at once (MaxActives listed unless said wavespawns are kinda funny):

2 Mission Spies
2 Flying Scouts
1 Soldier
1 Bomb Scout
Spawncount 3, MaxActive 1(?) Demomen (this is just wrong)
2 Medics
Spawncount 3, MaxActive 1 Snipers
2 Pyros
Tanks with Where set (this is entirely unnecessary)
2 Heavies
1 Sniper (Snipers with rifles don't wanna work if they're not Mission support)
1 Soldier
1 Scout
1 Pyro
2 Heavies
2 Pyros
2 Soldiers
2 Demos

= 27 bots (your remaining 5 will just wait until one of the active bots dies, then they'll spawn immediately)

You also have a typo on a BehaviorModifiers (Iddler) which breaks that wavespawn completely (Idler also doesn't exist anymore, hence why it gives you errors) and it is that exact bad wavespawn that breaks all wavespawns below it (essentially the entire mission)
As a last mention and easiest way to tell mvm.tf missions: Your Heavy and Demo icons show pink checkerboards

Okay so I've got that sorted out but I don't want the bomb scout to move at all (except jumping) so how could I make that work because I've tried to put 100 decreased move speed on him

And yes I'm a noob for using mvm.tf ^_^'

Update: never mind I fixed it

And the sniper with the awp is for bot control servers

Fillmore · Jun 19, 2017

You've got "move speed penalty" 100 set to that Bomb Scout and the Attributes List lists that as an inverted percentage (which is why instead of going slow he is the Sanic-bot)

Usually when folks have done really slow bots, they've used "move speed penalty" instead (I think 0.9 would make that bot slow as molasses but it could also be the other one, I tend to forget how these attributes work)

I am getting errors which prevent my mvm mission from starting
