The code you posted doesn't contain anything that checks the skill level. Here is the original code from bot10 in bot_combat.cpp...
Code:
// if close to enemy, and skill level is 1, 2 or 3, use the crowbar
if (((distance <= 40) && (bot_skill <= 2) && (weapon_choice == 0)) ||
(weapon_choice == WEAPON_CROWBAR))
{
The check for (bot_skilll <= 2) restricts this weapon to bots with skill=0, 1, or 2, removing this check...
Code:
// if close to enemy, use the crowbar
if (((distance <= 40) && (weapon_choice == 0)) ||
(weapon_choice == WEAPON_CROWBAR))
{
...would allow any skill level bot to use the crowbar.
