From the sounds of it though you got pretty much the whole system setup, you just need a streamlined way of using it (i.e. in-game menu).
Another thing i just remembered to ask, is there a limitation on the distance between waypoints? I mean do they have to be a certain max length apart?

The CPU drain isn't much, but it makes it hard to get too many bots running at a time. 16 is usually the number I shoot for and "officially" support, tho I did try 32 and didn't have too much lag.
I need a menu system, and I'd like an external script system to handle the map logic. That, I feel, would be better as an external system. i.e. control through a script what actions the bots consider a valid goal under what circumstances. That way anyone can easily modify it on the fly, to create any kind of game scenarios they want.
There is a distance limit - if the bot doesn't reach its next waypoint in a certain amount of time, it will start looking for a way around whatever obstacle is blocking it.
