functions, variables etc.

Where do you find all the variables, functions etc. you can use when coding a bot?, that is actually one of the biggest problems I have when I try to code bots

Thanks in advance

There is no complete function, variable or API reference for the Half-Life SDK or engine.

You have to figure things out on your own by trial and error, find some other Half-Life source code or tutorial that does something similar, or ask someone a question about how to do something on one of the Half-Life coding forums (or here).

Everybody else learns things by seeing what other people had done and by experimenting with new things on their own.

I guess it's maybe the best way to take code like botman's template code or even a open source bot and look how the variables are used.

there are no official design documents

€: botman was once again faster and more detailed

Okay, thanks guys I am currently finding out by trial and error, I just wanted to know if there was an alternate way

Thanks again

If you want to find your bot members functions, usually look them up in bot.h, where the bot_t structure is defined.

Yes, i would go for the way as pmb describes Most functions are there defined.

Also, i would say you should try to get a basic understanding how the dll works , so you get the basic idea what function comes first. Like BotThink() (in botmans template) is called in StartFrame (dll.cpp).
