JUMBOT TEAM BOT COOPERATION GUIDE


[Server note: In order for commands toward bots from players to work, the server must have bot ordering enabled. The cvar to set that is bot_ordering. 1 is enabled, 0 is disabled]

Commands are given to bots through chatting. To give a chat command, talk as you normally would to other players, and say "<bot's name> <command>". Commands can only be given to bots on your team. An example would be:

Moe follow

You can dress this up if you wish, as well, by perhaps saying something along the lines of:

Moe, follow me!

The examples assume the bot's name is Moe. If not, substitute Moe with whatever the bot's name is. A list of commands to put in place of follow are:
stop
 Tell the bot to stop following you or to stop waiting in position.
follow
 Tell the bot to follow you. If the bot is not near you, it will try to track you down in the level when you tell it to follow you.
watch
 Tell the bot to watch what you're doing and remember it. This will only work if the bot can see you and is following you. If you fire at a location or use a button, the bot will watch and see what you did, then remember it for later.
position
 Tell the bot to get in position to execute its current memorized action.
turn left
 If the bot is in position, this will make it turn left slightly.
turn right
 Same as above, only to the right.
execute
 If the bot is in position, telling it to do this will make it carry out the memorized action.
execute loop
 Execute the action until instructed to stop with a stop command.
attack
 Tells the bot to attack an enemy on the other team. You must also specify the name of the bot on the other team. If Moe is on your team and Larry is on the opposing team, then to have Moe attack Larry you would say something like this:

Moe, attack Larry.

The word "kill" can also be used in place of "attack", if you prefer.

Those are currently all of the commands. Note that you can also give orders to multiple bots on your team in one line. The following would work, for example:

Larry, Moe, Curly, follow me!

That should be all you need to know.
