ESF-Bots....I don't like them!

[Mystic Snidely]

Yeah, they don't have much regard for their own life...a lot like the majority of ESFers in that respect. :laff:

A couple of other things:

- If you fire a scatter shot or ki ball, they'll always block...allowing you to get to a safe distance. Worse, with the scatter shot, they're unable to block if you fire scatter shots behind the sucker, so they get wiped out. Maybe have them teleport after blocking five or so?

- I would really, really like it if each bot had a "pissy" factor; as it is, they'll go for the nearest target. I'd like it if there was a chance that a bot would go for the begger who has dealt it the most damage after a while.

The bots on BEST are better than a lot of players online, though.

Some, but not all.

And as for people not having regard for their own life, that's not exclusive to ESF. Everybody is like that... Hell, in Urban Terror, I'll set an HE grenade to instant arm (is ready to explode after fire is pressed), and run at my opponent, and RIGHT before they kill me.... BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... Good times. And I get more than one frag in that way.

I really enjoy these bots. However, there are a couple of things:

- Kame Torpedos. Bots don't really notice 'em, which is bad news...for them. In a one on one, try charging up as many as you can directly in front of you while facing your enemy: if you stay there, he won't be able to beat you. If he swoops, it's not that hard to hit him with one, or switch to melee yourself. If he beams, throw a couple of the torps into it, then add a generic beam. Voila, one cooked bot.

You forgot that bots who see you will fly atcha and you'll BOTH die... I've had more trouble with that than any other things you've mentioned.

nope bots don't notice torpedos cuz they can't hear them... the way bots now detect attacks is by hearing them and well torpedos only make a sound with charging o well i think there is a way to detect attacks on an other i just need to check it

- Block struggles. Occasionally, the beam will get stuck, and it will detonate only on /kill or after a long wait (up to five minutes). I believe this is a problem with the bot(s) running out of ki, since the bot on the recieving end will drop out of flight and stay stuck as well.

yep this happens to me sometimes its a very strange bug, i can't think of how to fix it, maybe something if the bot 'sees' this he does the kill command instead...

thats a good solution maybe i change it to that way. Or after blocking some time he try to melee you.

il say you download the ESF-bots they are very good in the beginning i got my ass owned now i own them simple as that just download them and let the fun begin

 

[Madd Dog]

one other bug with the bots are blocking and melee, if you go up to them and melee, they block, thats good, then they stand there, you try hit them and they block again, thats ok, but then they just power up nomater how close you are and you can smack them across the screen.
maby make them counter if they block someone and the person stupidly stands there.

otherwise best bot for any HL game around. Great work.
PS. maby make a "nighmare" skill for the bots (more for if a person wants a 1on1 game) where the bots are at an ultimate skill. (like good old dooms nighmare mode)

PPS.i love the way they work together.when i saw this i was like O_O, again great work.

well hey if you want the podbot playing the best it will own you maybe...u can do that they wont hit you if you take on something i dont remember :laffin:

 

[MickeyG]

i can hold 1 bot if he is on best.. but if have 2 bots i got kicked ass... the only thing that really s*cks about the bots is:

thay ALLWAYS know from wich way you come thay are ALLWAYS looking @ you... thay are a bit TO perfect... but i can hold 1 on best

 

[Dragon Fire]
