Plutonium

Jack Dempsey Glad to hear that. If you don't mind, I've updated the code with a few minor fixes, so feel free to download the mod again if you'd like.

Jack Dempsey I played with 7 bots including me at setting the lobby on a custom game to 8 players and it works pretty well, but i wouldn't recommend it to you because it's pretty unstable sometimes, maybe the game engine being the reason for that problem, i don't know. I would recommend to set like 4 or 5 maximum for stability.

I want to give credit to GerardS0406 for being the first to create this mod and for establishing its foundations; to BySc for continuing Gerard’s work and adding some useful functions that I took, tested, and modified myself; and finally to techboy04gaming, whose wander function I borrowed and implemented into the mod.

To add bots in-game, simply open the console and type "set zm_bots *", where the asterisk represents the number of bots you want. If you want more, for example, 5 bots, you will need to increase your party size in the lobby from 4 to your desired number.

Also, if you want to play with this mod along with another one, e.g., a mod that adds custom weapons, you just need to drag the file zmbots.iwd inside the "zm_bots" folder and drag it to the other mod folder.

If anyone wants to improve this mod, feel free to try, it’s completely open source.

To install this mod, press «Win + R» and paste the following path: «%localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\t6\mods», then press Enter.

After that, paste the folder "zm_bots" right there.

vandal59 Sorry, but I haven't found a way to help you, I don't have too much experience in coding mods yet.

Ultimateman Would you mind making a lightweight script with that function?
I can't understand how to make it work as you instructed.

Yeah, i made a mistake, is this line "player thread on_player_spawned();"

@bocanegra59 In zm_bo2_bots_utility.gsc search this line "level thread init_zombie_healthbar();" and try to add "//" before the line of the script starts.

Zevon Try to update your plutonium, the version you have is outdated.

Gundawg21 No prob

Gundawg21 It has to do more with this line in zm_bo2_bots
// Deduct points
self maps\mp\zombies_zm_score::minus_to_player_score(950);

To solve the problem you need to replace the number 950 to 0.

BySc The teleport function keeps killing the bots when teleport to you.

BySc There is another thing, bots when they have pap weapons and they are close to a wallbuy they buy for example an m14 or an ak74. It bothers a bit when they are in high rounds and change their weapons for much worse ones.
And that's It, the rest of the mod works perfectly.

Would it be possible to create a briefly moment of invulnerability for you and the bots when they teleport?
Either they die or I get killed when it happens.

Did you checked BySc mod from bo2?
Maybe checking his source code would help.

The script that i send to you is the old version of your mod, i did reactivated and it worked perfectly it's just that it lacks of the preferance of the weapons they gets, for example they get the raygun from the box and buy again to get the balistic knives.

Yeah i know, i tested your actual mod but the function of the box itself for some reason it's bugged for me, i try to buy the box but it won't let me buy it unless a bot open it first.
And i have to spend more points like 3000 thousands points just for get a weapon.

Is there anyway to mix this script:

bot_buy_box()
{
if(self maps\mp\zombies_zm_laststand::player_is_in_laststand())
return;

if(!isDefined(level.chests) || level.chests.size == 0)
    return;
    
current_box = level.chests[level.chest_index];
if(!isDefined(current_box))
    return;

dist = Distance(current_box.origin, self.origin);
    
// Only try to use box if we have enough points and aren't too far
if(self.score >= 1900 && dist < 150)
{
    // Check if box is available
    if(!is_true(current_box._box_open) && !is_true(current_box._box_opened_by_fire_sale) && !flag("moving_chest_now"))
    {
        if(FindPath(self.origin, current_box.origin, undefined, 0, 1))
        {
            // Move to box if not already there
            if(dist > 75)
            {
                self AddGoal(current_box.origin, 50, 2, "boxBuy");
                return;
            }
            
            // Use the box when close enough
            self maps\mp\zombies\_zm_score::minus_to_player_score(950);
            current_box notify("trigger", self);
            
            // Wait for weapon to appear and box to fully open
            wait 4;
            
            // Try to grab weapon multiple times to ensure it's picked up
            for(i = 0; i < 3; i++)
            {
                if(is_true(current_box._box_open))
                {
                    current_box notify("trigger", self);
                    self UseButtonPressed();
                    wait 0.5;
                    
                    // Check if weapon was actually taken
                    if(!is_true(current_box._box_open))
                        return;
                }
                wait 0.5;
            }
        }
    }

BySc I noticed when I was playing, there are some debug messages constantly appearing on the left side of the screen, it constantly checks the distance from the mystery box, even when the ai is close to the box and they spend all their points buying weapons in it.
