Command Mode!

wow, nice attitude..... jeeze, whats stuck up yur arse?

ok, i was a little off, but think of how little people play with bots. i know a few do, but most dont. it is kinda random and you would have to do a lot of killing to kill off 1 guy. this sounds more like for not with 10 other people

well, it would make mod's a bit more fun.  in one of the maps for Mecha Soldat, the bots for alpha just sat there while the ones for bravo just kept comin. being able to give commands would really make it better.

I like the idea.

Reminds me of the switch worm tool from worms.. hehe...

[O.R.I.O.N.]

Ah, Worms.  Hm, Worms would make for a good mod.

Back on topic.  Commanding bots would be good with me, though, sadly, I don't expect to see it happen.

(about commands to "rule" the bots)
i'm a programmer, so i don't think it should be too difficult to programe it.
just some easy commands like

Bot = botName.value;
if (cmd.value == "get the flag") {
Bot.goto(X,Y);
}

well, something like that
and yeah, maybe "/botname command" should be better but the bad thing there is that it should be more sweet if you said it like you where talking with real players

[O.R.I.O.N.]

Though, if you were talking to a friend and a bot did something you didn't want it to, it would be bad.  Plus, you could at times sound stupid commanding some bots.  Also, what if a bot shared a name with a human player, and you tried to talk to that player?

well, in soldat if 2 persons have got same name (ex. Major) one of those will change to Major(1).
and the script will only react if you're typing exectly after the rules. like Name, command (ex. Sniper, get the flag)
