The repeated efforts by the bots to raise an already-raised spawn flag is really affecting the game play in my map. When several bots respawn at once in the small enclosed hut with the spawn flag, they all try to hit it at the same time, resulting in a lot of jumping around as they try to avoid each other and hit the flag pole. Much time is wasted doing this, and it carries over as they bounce out of the door and into the water. If a bot spawns alone, he'll hit the flag and then safely exit walking as dictated by my "walk" nodes in the area.

The f0x has told me that this happens on his map as well. His CP flags are in open areas and his bots don't spawn near them so it doesn't affect him as much.

Can this be investigated to verify that this is not a Fritzbot bug? If it is, then it can be fixed. If it is the map, then I'll just have to live with it.
