Advanced Bot AI

Development Paused Due to Real-Life Commitments - Feel Free to Modify and Redistribute the Source Code

• Optimized Bot combat awareness and improved teamwork capabilities. (See Bot Combat Skill Settings for details.)
  
• Bots can pick up throwable items and actively throw Molotovs when encountering a Tank.
  
• If a player has no pills or medkits, Bots will voluntarily offer their resources, whether it's pills, medkits, or throwables.
  
• Right-clicking a Bot while holding a throwable allows swapping throwables with the Bot.
  
• Bots can use defibrillators.
  
• Bots can use ammo upgrades.
  
• Prevents situations where Bots step on Spitter acid while reviving.
  
• On certain maps, Bots will help players find gas cans and bring them to the fuel machine.
  
• If a player is grabbed by a Smoker and the Bot cannot see the Smoker, the Bot will prioritize freeing the player by breaking the tongue.

The current version has readjusted Bot combat behavior. They now better prioritize targets, protect themselves, and rescue players, with significantly improved teamwork.
There are five skill levels, with increasing improvements to vision range, aiming ability, reaction speed, success rate of shoving Special Infected, etc. The skill level does not affect Bot decision-making but only impacts their combat effectiveness against hordes, Special Infected, and focus-firing Tanks.


Some features of this mod can be toggled via an hud menu. Open the chat (press Y) and type !botmenu to access it.
Alternatively, bind a key to +grenade1 (e.g., enter bind "j" "+grenade1" in the console) or bind a key to open the menu directly (e.g., bind "j" "say !botmenu").

Note: The menu may not respond on dedicated servers—use commands instead.

In a dedicated server only administrators can use menus and commands

For clients unable to use the menu, the mod provides commands. Enter these in the chat window.


This mod includes a ping feature to command Bots.
Bind a key to +alt2 (e.g., enter bind "i" "+alt2" in the console).

Click ping while aiming at a Bot to select it (works through walls). Then:

Click an item to make the Bot use it.
Click the ground to make the Bot move there.
Click an Infected to make the Bot attack it.
