I'm wondering how friendly bots could be made for zombies. I have heard it is possible in WaW, so I am assuming it is also possible in BO1.

just adding a ai and setting his "team" to the players team would do it i believe

i think its "allied" or "allies" or something vs "axis"

in waw for example, merely need to place a "ally" actor ( they would not attack you, would attack enemies, but beyond that behavior youd need to do some work )

I've never added any AI before, what exactly do I have to do to get them to spawn in? I can do the extra work.

hmm... i guess that might be harder on bo1

i wonder if maybe this could work

grab a zombie spawner

spawn something from it

set gibbed to true to stop them being "gibable"

change their model

( would need to make sure find_flesh is disabled, id need to check scripts for that tho, dont know off hand )

change his team

move him

I would hope thats all required

You could also try this to resolve what i put earlier

set a variable on the spawner like "spawner.is_ally = true"

and in the zombie_init() part in zombiemode_spawner.gsc, have it check for that variable, if it is defined and is true, then skip loading the zombie logic entirely ( could set the team, model and move him here too actually )

Otherwise maybe you can create a spawner point in script? Mot sure how you would tho

How about this?

Code Snippet

Plaintext

init()
{
	flag_wait( "all_players_connected" );
	while(1)
	{  
		bots = 4 - get_players().size
		for(i=0;i<bots;i++)
		{
			if(!IsDefined player_ai[i].dead || player_ai[i].dead == true)
			{
				j = 3 - i
				structs = getstructarray( "initial_spawn_points", "targetname" );
				player_ai[i] = structs[j] StalingradSpawn();
				player_ai[i].team = "allies";
				player_ai[i] setmodel("c_usa_marine_michael_carter_player_zm")
				player_ai[i].gibbed = true; 
				player_ai[i].head_gibbed = true;
				player_ai[i].dead = false;
			}
		}
		for(i=0;i<bots;i++)
		{
			player_ai[i] waittill("death");
			player_ai[i].dead = true;
		}
		while( get_enemy_count() > 0 || level.zombie_total > 0 )
		{
			wait( 1.0 );
		}
	}
}

}

Calling stalingradSpawn() using structs won't do anything.

AFAIK, there are only two ways you *might* be able to spawn the AI via script that i know of: fake AI or use an existing spawner, change its team, model, guns, etc and move him to wherever you want him.

Edit: the ai that the spawner spawns, not the spawner itself.

Okay well should this work?

Code Snippet

		{
			if(!IsDefined player_ai[i].dead || player_ai[i].dead == true)
			{
				spawner = GetEntArray( "zombie_spawner", "script_noteworthy" )[0];
				j = 3 - i;
				structs = getstructarray( "initial_spawn_points", "targetname" )[j];
				player_ai[i] = spawner StalingradSpawn();
				player_ai.script_noteworthy = "player_ai";
				player_ai[i].team = "allies";
				player_ai[i] setmodel("c_usa_marine_michael_carter_player_zm")
				player_ai forceteleport(structs);
				player_ai[i].gibbed = true; 
				player_ai[i].head_gibbed = true;
				player_ai[i].dead = false;
			}
		}
		for(i=0;i<bots;i++)
		{
			player_ai[i] waittill("death");

		}
		while( get_enemy_count() > 0 || level.zombie_total > 0 )

		}
	}
}

Missing semicolon:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

player_ai[i] setmodel("c_usa_marine_michael_carter_player_zm")

And why are you putting in [j] and [ 0 ]?

Code Snippet

Plaintext

spawner = GetEntArray( "zombie_spawner", "script_noteworthy" )[0];
structs = getstructarray( "initial_spawn_points", "targetname" )[j];

Something BO1 has? Never seen anyone do getEnt and getStruct like that

yea it's fine, he's just referencing a element in a array in the same line as collecting the array is all

youre also missing a semi colon here

Code Snippet

Plaintext

bots = 4 - get_players().size

also unless you already have the array player_ai initialized (which from your posted code doesnt look like it) you should add

Code Snippet

Plaintext

player_ai = []; //creates a new array

under your

Code Snippet

Plaintext

flag_wait( "all_players_connected" );

this will help avoid running into a uninitialized variable error

and instead of doing stalingradSpawn you can also use the method

Code Snippet

Plaintext

spawn_zombie(spawner,target_name); // take a spawner entity, and a possible targetname as parameters

which runs a check to ensure that the AI is spawned correctly
