force bot path on radiant for q3a

[3xistence]

hi all!
I need to create a map where my bot will follow a path (for example from A point to B point, from B to A again "looping everytime the path").
The bot need to never shoot at player "he's a sort of demostartion stuff".

Any clue about how can i do it?

You won't be able to, not without significant AI mod programming.

Could it maybe be possible with a route of items, one item at a time, in an external bot navigation map? Items should be triggable for the bots, no?

can it work if i create a custom bot and set most of is skills to 0? adding some no walkable invisible solids around him and put a weapon upon a jumppad? the main objective is just force him to jump on a jumppad continuosly

You could just trap him in a bot_clip tunnel and put a bot spawn on top of a jump pad. I bet the bot will jerk around/spin around and it would look bad for what you need it for. Also this would only work if you had one bot spawn in the whole map.

It's easy with the right tools:

:°D i'm checking your work Eraser. but i need to add it all inside my mod so i don't know if it can be the right way to do it :°). Basically i just want to create a map with a jumppad and put a bot that will jump on loop on that jumppad.

In combination with an own bot map.
