bot don´t spawn

hi
i´m pretty new to botcoding
i´ve an annoying bug

when i type addbot in the console
only the weapons of the bot spawn but not the bot itself
i edited the bot_start.cpp that he uses the class system of the mod.

can anyone help me?

i think this is in the wrong section

yes... I'm moving this to the bot coding discussions forum.

Are you sure you updated the linkfunc.cpp file of the HPB_bot with the entities of your mod ?

yep i did

could the cause be that i´m using a map with the old fgd of my mod?
i mean with other start points than yet

and why wrong section??
i´m using hpb-bot

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

you're using the HPB_bot SOURCE CODE to make your own bot, not the official HPB_bot release... so this is a coding question

Actually all the HL bots out here are more or less based on the HPB_bot, you know

Anyway... is there a menu selection in your mod ? (to join a class, to choose a skin, whatever)
Maybe the bots are stuck in this menu that's why they don't appear...

Check if their entity has the EF_NODRAW flag set.

ah ok
yeah i have a vgui menu
but ingame they aren´t showed as spectators
where should i look for EF_NODRAW
in my spawn function for the bot?
there isn´t one

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

check if (pBot->pEdict->v.effects & EF_NODRAW) is TRUE... that would mean that the bot is spawned, but its model is not rendered by the engine.

Else are you 100% sure you fill the infobuffer correctly in BotCreate() ? Some mods like Counter-Strike need to have a lot more stuff in it than others like HL.

works now
thx to u pierre

edit
it only works in free fight
how can i force the bot to leave spectator in team mode?

Hi!

Maybe there`s an extra menu for team mode? try forcing the bots to fire (in_attack) and see if it works...
