Feature Request
 

Hey Mal, i just noticed something that may need to be added. On Stalag13 the docs are on a table in an office. Now the docs sit on the middle of the table but due to the ceiling being to low the bots can't physically jump on the desk to grab the docs so they just sit there and run up against the desk and do nothing.

Anyways, i was wondering how difficult would it be to add support for bots grabbing docs from locations they can't physically reach. I do know that when you reach docs a little hand appears and you can then use the activate key to grab them so i was wondering if you could add like a feature where the bots can do the same thing.

There may be other maps with steal objectives setup like this, so it wouldn't be a bad feature to add, not only that it could help when you begin adding button support because buttons work in much the same matter (with activation and the hand pointer and such)

Stalag13 can't be finished without this support being added, if you add it that would be awesome, if you wanna wait that's fine too but i figured i'd say something just so you know. :euro:

Not hard to do - they already can manipulate doors and the like, when its touchable for them, I'll just have to add docs as another "touchable" item.

This would be really useful for ET too, so it should be added soon.

Sweet, thanks mal. Let me know when you add it. This may also fix the problem Blunt is having with the CD-Key objective on ff_kungfu.:clap:

Re: Feature Request
 

Just as an update: I added the code for grabbing docs, but its not helping on kungfu (I haven't tested the other maps) - something else is going on. I'll find out why when I get the time, and try to fix it.

BTW: the bots did surprisingly well on kungfu! I was impressed! :D

Re: Feature Request
 

Is there a patch released for the doc grabbing, or is it still a WIP?

I have no clue what's going on with kungfu because sometimes the bots grab the CD Key and sometimes they don't. When grabbing them as a regular player i have no troubles at all. Maybe it has something to do with the bots and grabbing things underwater or something? I'm not sure on that but it may be worth looking into.

Its W.I.P - will try to get it done soon.
