I've made a level and pathnoded it with what looks like a good network
(large majority of paths are blue and you can go to every part of the level
by following blue paths). It is defined as a CTF game in the
DefaultGameType of the Level props. The bots can get to every part of the
level. The bots will follow me to the ends of the earth to get their flag
back if I capture it. What's the problem? The bots won't go for the other
flag. I've literally seen a bot run by the other flag without stopping, and
I'm 110% positive that there are more than a few valid blue paths to the
flag in the flagroom. Each bot team gets around their own base with perfect
efficiency and will fight and chase the flag-stealer, but they have no
desire to capture themselves. I've read about this and the fix that was
mentioned was to remove both flagbases, then recreate them and redefine the
paths. Didn't work for me. Another guy (Checker?) mentioned that you could
bump the Net Priority of the flags under Flagbase props, Networking. I
bumped it from 1.0 to 2.0. This didn't work either. I can leave the game
running 3 on 3, come back 6 hours later, and there isn't a single flag
capture. As well, the bots manning the respective defensepoints have 0
points after many hours, meaning they're never seeing an enemy to kill. I tried removing the flagbases, exporting the level, importing as new, adding the flagbases then rebuilding & redefining. No change.
Help!
Any other suggestions would be welcome. If anyon wants to see this map for
themselves, let me know and I'll fire it off to you.
