Another day, another problem... sorry to bother you all again but...

I've got an onslaught map with vehicles and a powernode that is on a remote island only reachable by teleport. This idea works fine for players, but the stupid bots ignore the teleport and try to drive to the powernode on the remote island even though it's through lava and there's no road path! :eek: That's ginger-flapping crazy!!! :eek:

How can I stop bots being stupid? :rolleyes:

Thanks (yet again)
Ginger.

I'm assuming they want to use the teleport, but don't have the brains enough to get out of the vehicle beforehand. Not sure what you can do about that... Maybe you could make the teleport area inaccessible to vehicles by leaving out the road paths. Then if they wanted to go over there, they'd get out. In theory. ;)

So you want the bots to exit the vehicle and go through the teleporter?
You might need to use a UnrealScriptedSequence to do that.
Not sure if this could help with those...

you could check which node they try to get to over the lava, and prohibit that path in the roadpathnode properties, or force the path to the teleporter?

Thanks for the idea, and yes your theory does work in practice, but I'd like to keep the teleport on the main roadpath.

Thanks for the idea... I changed the RoadPathNode to Proscribe the path to (destination) Teleporter, but the bots drive from the RoadPathNode to the (source) Teleporter and then drive to the (destination) Teleporter along the teleport path. :(

It's starting to sound complicated; have you got this to work for you? ;)

erm, in a few cases quite similar i have yeah, but its kinda dodgy... erm, you could check that the (source) teleporter isnt a vehicle destination, and force that path? in theory it shud work but nufin works to theory...

It's the only path the bots can take, and Teleporter->Navigationpoint->bVehicleDestination = False, but the bots ignore this setting because they hate me. :(
So... I put a JumpPad between the RoadPathNode and the (source) Teleport, which stops bots driving through the lava, but now they walk all the way to the JumpPad instead of driving to the nearest RoadPathNode. :mad:

This may sound stupid but have you checked that the bots can get there *and* get back? If they can't, they won't try.
