To many bots!
 

Ok, I am making my own bots, and I have got them to initialize/join game.

Now, I set it so that only 5 bots can join:

if (botcount < 5) {
...bot code...
botcount++;
}

I started a dedicated server with maxplayers set to 10, and what happens is this:

bot joining...
bot joining...
bot joining...
bot joining...
bot joining...

BUT! The number is 5, but then automatically changes to 10. I type "status", and it's got:

Bot
(1)Bot
etc... all the way to 10.

If I start a server with maxplayers of 32, 32 bots will join. Why is this happening?

Re: To many bots!
 

Probably Your variable botcount is cleared at the beginning of the next frame - so the new frame You still have ( botcount < 5 ) - the new bots join the server...

Re: To many bots!
 

Yes, declare botcount a static variable, or put it at global scope. StartFrame() isn't comparable to a sort of "int main()" function, StartFrame() is called EVERY game tick, which corresponds if you are running a listen server to your frame rate.
