Re: FIX: incorrect timer_pickup value
 

Please, don't laugh at him. After my laughing, regardless of this I was right or not, he doesn't like me. I don't want the same for You. Last month he made a big effort to retype all waypoints in many of maps and he tested new podbot.dll and now he is simply tired and need more relax. Don't stress him more than I stressed him, please http://forums.bots-united.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .

Now he is the best and the greatest waypointer in the world and we need hold him in respect. The same for PMB. These two men made for us and for thousands people in the world so big effort and still somebody wants change or add something - they have enough now and they need more relax.
Some people wanting be perfect, sometimes they are too much serious and if somebody is laughing at him and do this at forum, they get this too much to them-self. Others people, when they understood theirs mistakes, they can laugh at them-self and they are not injured. Depanding of a man.

Now I'm not attacking You T Wrecks, but please more patience for SFhttp://forums.bots-united.com/images/icons/icon10.gif.

Especially for You (I hope You mean this correct) I found something on nuclearbox. Look at the Austin's explanation to your question. I hope this can help something8).

Re: FIX: incorrect timer_pickup value
 

Well, in a -maybe vain- attempt to get this thread a bit back towards its original topic: Thanks for the info about what the pickup timer actually means, KWo! Austin's explanations were indeed usefula and understandable - as they always are... ;)
So this fix might improve the bots' weapon pickup behaviour... let's see if there are any noticeable changes in the next dll...

Re: FIX: incorrect timer_pickup value
 

The definitive explanation of the pickup timer is even more simple.

This timer sets the time interval during which the bot will NOT worry about collectable items in its field of view.

This timer is periodical. For example, if you set it to 30 seconds, the bot will sample its field of view and check for items at 30s, 1min, 1min30, 2min, 2min30, etc..., but it will ignore all items in between.
Hence if your bot sees an AWP (or a bomb) lying on the ground at 35 seconds and runs past it at 50 seconds, the bot won't even have noticed it.
If however you set this timer to 5 seconds, the bot will see the item at 35 seconds, and will start running towards it at 40 seconds.

Nice avatar KWo btw :)
