Hiya Bindle, and thanks for the welcome.
Onto the play by play. I really am embarassed I didnt think of /noclip I mean.. duh.. you have to /devmap [mapname] to get started, that should've been on top of my list there. lol but thanks you guys for that friendly nudge and reminder. You rock.
Ok, I applied entnum 577 to the action task 64 to grab the documents and the bots now see the entity and want it bad! Finally they actually notice its there instead of running off confused, which was just a result of a bad entnum entry. The downside is the bots try to climb up into the niche to get the docs and can't do it. Other than that, everthing else is golden.
Frankly I'm just stoked they actually know the docs are there now! 
So, its progress and I'm happy about that. Once I can figure a way to make them "reach" into the niche rather than travel there - something else I understand is in the works code-wise - I'll just have to tweak some minor quirks out of the paths they use and it should be good to go.
