Title: Bug: Bot command attacks wrong
Post by: iSubaru on February 27, 2010, 07:41:03 AM
First of all some info on system used:

OpenArena - 0.8.5
Map on which error occured - ps9ctf
Game mode - Overload
What's wrong? - Giving alied bot command "Attack enemy base" turns out to attack a player

How to repeat a bug
Not difficult there
My sister went to enemy base but not to crystal point but a bit on back and left, near stairs
Then we joined bot Ayumi (tried with Gargoyle and Dark as well) on I can win level (she is still newbie at it ;) )
Then she ordered Ayumi to attack enemy base, after some waiting Ayumi cam to enemy base but instead of attacking crystal she attacked sister
Friendly fire was turned off s no dmg done but some rockets went to her
I got idea that's maybe some kind of A.I. problem on I can win level so we tried with Bring it on level, but same thing happened...just diffrence that bot was more accurate with rockets and railgun <_<

Plus no single shot from bot went to Crystal, I take a wild guess that bot doesn't "see" the Crystal as target so attacks nearest possible target even it's a friend

End of report

I can confirm the bug ps9ctf. The bot behaves as expected on oasago2 though

I'm not so great at it but I would take a wild guess that BOTs doesn't see that Crystal as object, like it wouldn't exist so they attack nearest visible target that can move :P
Guess I will take a round on CTF...

I found that this bug occurs only then the obelisk is not aligned perfectly with the floor... perfectly means that the origin must touch the floor. This is why it works in oasago2 but not other maps.

Why the bots cannot see an airborne target is still unknown to me.
