[Supporting] Spawning bots in SND

mikzy

sorry for opening a forum post and i feel dumb asking this because it's probably common sense and i tried a bunch of work arounds but i'm trying to see, how do you only spawn 2 bots via gsc in SND and not make it spawn 2 more every round?

i tried multiple ways. heres one example of a check I tried to do:

botCount = 0;
foreach (player in level.players)
{
   if (isDefined(player.pers["isBot"]) && player.pers["isBot"])
   {
         botCount++;
   }
}
if (botClient < 2)
{
     level thread handleBot();
}

@mikey another method could be using a DVAR since they don't reset like normal variables.

level.botsSpawned = getDvarIntDefault( "botsSpawned", 0 );
if( !level.botsSpawned )
{
    setDvar( "botsSpawned", 1 );
    level.botsSpawned = getDvarIntDefault( "botsSpawned", 0 );
    thread handleBot();
}

but then the DVAR would need to be reset at the end of the game

level waittill( "game_ended" );
setDvar( "botsSpawned", 0 );

@Cahz does game_ended get called on SND round switch or actual endgame? and also, how would i set after endgame if the GSC resets every round? a for loop?

@mikey Consider:

level waittill("game_ended");

Followed by a check to see if it was the last round:

waslastround()

mikzy

you can do a check for last round? if so, this helps so much. thank you!
