Patch notes (Normal Bots 7.0)

Patch Highlight - Bot Role Behavior

  • New Behavior Sniper added for Widowmaker Bots
  • New Behavior Hack added for Sombra Bots

General Comment: Last patch i added the free roam system for bots that allow them to navigate to every position i want (only if they can reach it). I used this system primary for the new healthpack logic that allows bots to go to a healthpack for some healing. The older system with static paths made it nearly impossible to add it. NOW i worked deeper on this system and added 2 new Behaviors: Sniper (Widowmaker only) and Hack (Sombra only)

Sniper Behavior Comment: Widowmaker have already a sniper behavior in patch 6.0 but its terrible. Now Widowmaker can go to a grapple start spot, use it to enter high ground and then go to a sniper spot (it gives only sniper spot in combo with grapple). Widow maker is at the moment the most script intensive bot iā€™ve ever made. The got a big rework too (again :confused: ), but she is know a strong enemy.

Hack Bevaior Comment: Sombra Bots can hack healthpacks if they see them, but she never focused a single healthpack. Now: Sombra roam to hack single healthpacks. At the moment bots dont know if the healthpack is hacked but i try to fix it in this build or in 8.0 .

Would be great, if you could change both the dummy and default bot skins, a bit like how the Archives and Junkenstein events do.

Bots are now live. Code: ARM3M

Some bots e.g. Reinhardt arenā€™t using their abilities like shield anymore; a Reinhardt bot ran directly into the enemy, but didnā€™t do anything.

I just played with your bots for the first time and itā€™s a very multiplayer-like experience, congratulations!

I still donā€™t understand why they donā€™t develop more bots. Since the beginning of the game there are the same bots, it would be nice if they added more.

i needed around 6 months for this 2-3 hours daily. Maybe that is the reason.

hey sorry to bother but i want to know if itā€™s possible to make each team have specific heroes. it is probably possible but i rly suck at workshop and coding. Is there an easy way to do this?

I think i can add this for the patch 10.0 coming on sunday :smiley:
