Ana dummy bot nanoboost(PTR)

Workshop Discussion

I made a practice mode based on skirmish not deathmatch, but somehow the Ana dummy bot can only nano herself, not other teammates. Is this a glitch? because the same code I used worked perfectly on Zarya giving teammate bubble.

I noticed this as well with my custom AI. Whenever a press ultimate button action made an Ana dummy bot use nanoboost, the Ana bot would receive the nanoboost buff instead of the player she was facing. I think this might be a bug.

If ana bot look at an ally she nanoboost him otherwise the boost herself

I did have a script for ana to aim at genji, but it never worked, even when ana face directly to genji, she still nano herself, might be a ptr glitch.

In a game mode that is very simple, Ana will actually not use Nanoboost when she can’t see the target. For example in this quick test mode I made on PTR, it works that way: Y1EK2R (when you use Mei and place a wall between you and Ana, she can’t use Nanoboost anymore; press ultimate to make her use nanoboost in this example).

Edit: It does not matter if the target of the Ana dummy bot is a human player, a default AI player, or a dummy bot, it worked correctly for me with all three in a simple script like the example above (all tests done on current PTR build). The map also does not appear to be a factor in this, or at least I had the same results on Workshop Expanse and Blizzard World.

However, in a more complex mode where a lot of things happen at the same time, Ana dummy bots will consistently use nanoboost on themselves instead of their target, even when the target was right in front of their eyes.

I’ve recorded a quick video that shows this (this is on the current PTR build, using a modified version of my World of Overwatch mode; I’ve used default bots in team 1 so I could place myself in spectators but the same thing happens without any default bots in game; all the Ana bots here are dummy bots with custom AI and were create by a script action; I apologize for the horrible video quality ><; ):

lol, this definitely looks like a bug now. Hope they can fix it soon.

Can confirm this is happening on live. Trying to make some AI and Ana can only nano herself. A fix soon would be nice!
