bot weapon choice

[person135]

hey i've been playing with epb and pbmm at the same time and i've edited the weapon priorities stuff. i specifically placed most of the snipers before weapons such as the ump or the 950 or the shotguns, but the bots still buy these smgs and shotguns and not sniper rifles. they barely even buy ak47 and m4a1s and other rifles.

how do i fix this


btw, i played on de_dust2002 with pbmm v16b and epb 1.53 and using my waypoints. the match was the best bot match i've ever seen! i was extremely happy with the way the bots were playing.

Post Your botweapons.cfg
I believe they weren't playing CSDM, but regular CS game.
BTW - which one is harder? epb or pb mm?

[person135]

well i did put the aks and the m4s and the sniper rifles before the guns like the ump

btw, i don't know which bot is harder because i can't tell one bot from another because i don't have the prefixes on

sometimes i see the bots with pistols.

The most desired weapons are the most right in the list.
Currentlly in Your podbot.cg these items they are trying to buy the most frequently:

[NORMAL] - ...22,15,17,7,8
[AGRESSIVE] - ...10,12,13,11,25
[DEFENSIVE] - ...13,15,12,10,8

I hope You know now what You need to do to fix Your problem.

The bot checks the list from the right side - the bot checks if it has got enough money to buy the most right item and - if so - it puts it in some table with 5 favourities weapons. If no - the checks moves to the left (second item from the right side). Ones the bot finds 5 primary weapons with enough money for them - the bot randomly chooses some weapon.
