Bot programming - scripting

[bluemist1]

Right now, all the bots seem to do is sit there. My guess is there are no script commands to program them to do anything useful yet.

So, I have some suggested script calls that would make bots more useful:

MoveTo(Position) - Tries to reach said position
ShootAt(Position) - Shoot the current weapon at the desired position
StayNear(Position) - Stays within a reasonably close distance of position. This would keep the Distance nearly constant and move around, to simulate dodging.

Or are there a lot of helpful script functions that would act like these? For example, how can you have a bot fire its weapon?

Thanks.

Well i would rather suggest to wait
There is definitely a need of those possibilities, but we don't know yet what bots will be able to and how a scripter can influence them
i really really hope that scripts can influence them a lot!!
for now we can only wait for the initial release of moving bots and then suggest other things afterwards
