The Storm · **Re: HL2DM Bot Coding -** 19-05-2008

There is pretty big topic about the Source bots http://forums.bots-united.com/showthread.php?t=3629 but I will save you reading, you can't create functional bot from the current SDK as plugin for some MOD. There is no way the get the weapon that the bot is holding, how much ammo he have and other limitations. The only solution is to have the source code of the MOD and to integrate the bot directly in the MOD. The only MOD that Valve give us the source code is Half-Life 2, so if you want to create a HL2 bot go directly in to the source and make it.

I don't know if there is really good start up tutorial for the bots but you have the basic, other part is learning the SDK and I think that the Valve developers wiki have pretty much information about the SDK.

Good luck.
