Changing map on MeatBot (CoD 2)

[Jeta1]

oh, the menus, I forgot about that. I had problems with it when I tried to set the bots to use all rifles while I used the regular weapons menu.


And, about the scoreboard, I changed the logic I used there.

- If there are players online after the 10 seconds of scoreboard displaying, the map will change;
- If there are no players online after the 10 seconds of scoreboard displaying (i. e. all players disconnected during the scoreboard - and, believe me, this happens a lot), the scoreboard will stay there until someone connects. Then, the map changes.

I got the sprint working by changing
self UseButtonPressed
to
self MeleeButtonPressed in the _sprint.gsc (three entries)
then changed the localized string. I loose a visual of the weapon melee when moving, but I will sacrifice for the sprint.

I'll work on the scoreboard display (currently not at all).

Thanks again for the help.

You don't need to change the key they use to sprint - create a method to determine live players from bots and then don't run the sprint code on bots.

This is the method I use:

isbot( player )
{
 
  if( GetSubStr( player.name, 0, 3 ) == "bot") return true; 
 
  return false;
}

Then, use that to differentiate bots from people, and stop bots running the sprint script.

}

Meatbot sets the .isbot attribute when a bot is added, so, you can just use

if(player.isbot)

if(player.isbot)

I have found that method not 100% reliable. But my method works infallibly.

How so?

Well I personally used a combination of:
- checking the connecting players name
- get the GUID
- set a variable on connect (since bots do not change anything)

so to say:

bot = addTestClient();

if( !isDefined( bot ) )
    continue; // try again..

assert( isSubStr( bot.name , "bot" ) );
assert( bot getGuid() == "0" ) );

bot.isBot = true;
bot.pers["bot"] = true;
