Hi everyone, I’m new to the Overwatch Workshop, and I’d like to know if there is a way to make the dummy bots move around, shoot, use abilities, etc. Right now, the dummy bot that I’ve created (Mercy) just sits around and is more than a little boring. I can’t find any actions that would give the bot instructions. Help would be greatly appreciated!
Just for the record, I won’t be coming on this forum TOO often. I’ll probably check every other day or so, so you might need to wait a day or two before I respond. Thanks for the help, God bless!
depends what you want it to do, if you want it to move towards a player it sees, easy!
just give it a Start Throttle in Direction(Direction Towards(Event Player, Closet Player to(Event Player, Team of(Event Player))) (this is assuming event player is the bot).
if you want it to navigate around walls and stuff you’ll need either a dynamic pathfinder or a pathfinder and a navmesh for the maps you want it to work on. (i have made 1 of both as well as a Navmesh maker tool, if you want to do one of those).
then for abilities & weapons etc… i would say its easy, but im somebody who has made SO many AI so i might be a little byisted, if you need help with those you can either look at or copy the Use Instructions (Labled) at the bottom of my Mercy AI https://workshop.codes/62ACE
Normal Pathfinder https://workshop.codes/3CZ1R not perfect, but better at long range than a dynamic one, and needs a Navmesh. also ignore how it says Dynamic in its Title it explains why in the description.
Navmesh Maker https://workshop.codes/9005G super user friendly and has all keybinds displayed on a hud.
(my Github https://github.com/Spiderman31807/Overwatch-Workshop also has prebuild navmesh for most maps)
i dont actually have a code for my Dynamic Pathfinder, but you can either extract it from my Clone War https://workshop.codes/9AZ52 code or if you want i can separate it from it for you, if you want to use it.
looking at this completed guide i’ve given you, it feels more like self promotion just because of how many tools i’ve made for AI…
The code you gave me works ALMOST perfect, but with one exception- the Dummy Bot will continue to try to move toward the nearest player, even if said player has been eliminated. Is there an easy fix for this?
