Patches
erm, I was wondering if I could create a new subject in this page that shows a chronological list of all the updates that affected the AI bots in general, if yes, how would i achieve this? i'm currently writing on a phone so i'm gonna edit this later and be more specific.

- Good idea. You could set it up like Sandman's update bit. I'm editing on my phone too! They suck! -- Smashman... (t • s) 22:33, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, I did just that, it should be complete now, I'll try and keep it up to date seeing as I'm one of the few who actually know about this page and update it. If anybody sees any errors or problems with my writing, would you be so kind as to let me know? I'll gladly edit it for the better.Guy
- Too long maybe just link to the patches ? nb i watch this one as the short scripts at the bottom were written by me--Markd 13:51, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
- I think instead I'll just move it to the bottom of the AI bot's section, so it's kind of out of the way, but all of it is relevant and I find it looks fine with the page. Guy 19:10, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Commands
That is a lot of commands, which seems to get in the way rather easily. Even worse is that that isn't all of them (tf_bot_debug_insertstuffhere) for example. I was thinking of just cutting it down to the essential commands (add, remove, mimic, rename, difficulty, etc.) Should we?--Kurathedog 20:47, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
No,its for anyone to know how to use any command,so we should put every command--Nagoffyvongola21 12:16, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- We could make the tables collapsible --Firestorm 03:21, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- At present the list both includes commands that aren't implemented in the current TF2 version (1.1.9.2) (bot_flipout, bot_defend) and omits some other commands that are (eg. bot_drop and bot_jump). Pathetic One 22:24, 8 January 2012 (PST)
Bot Classes
I'm wondering if I could make individual paragraphs for each class of bots, one for scout, pyro, soldier, demoman, heavy etc etc, because they all have different behaviour that we could highlight, either towards the player or eachother and I would like to write about each of them seperately instead of clustering individual bot behaviour in the main paragraph. Guy
- I like this idea. Especially considering I've noticed that if you use tf_bot_force_class Medic, the enemy Medics will never leave the spawn point, whereas friendly Medics will follow the player (using only the Medigun, and Ubercharging the moment the player takes damage).Suzaku 15:11, 3 August 2011 (PDT)
- Another class-specific quirk: under bot_mimic the Heavy can jump while spun up. Pathetic One 22:14, 8 January 2012 (PST)
Demoman spam bug
As of the April14 update, Demoman bots will shift into play to combat enemy Sentry Guns. However, they seldom switch back to another class whether or not they destroy it, leaving a team full of Demomen and 1-2 Medics. Dunno if it's worth adding into a bug section on the main page or not. -Update- Still all switch to Demoman, but now switch back once the Sentries they were specifically targetting are destroyed.

RCbot
I think it should be fair to mention and do a small section about this community made bot. For reference here is the webpage [1]--Sjru 14:42, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
tf_bot_taunt_victim_chance
I entered this line of code and it no longer gave me the notice that cheats cannot be used on the server. Does this mean it's no longer a cheat? And should we add this to the table of AI commands? RainingMetal
Can anyone else confirm this?
When I type 1 after bot -team, bots no longer spawn on RED but on BLU, even though both teams are numerically even. I tried all the other numbers; they all spawn bots on BLU each time the teams are numerically even.

- I think it's to do with auto-team balance. Try disabling that. » Cooper Kid (blether·contreebs) 09:13, 14 August 2011 (PDT)
Movement?
Anyone know how to make puppet bots move forwards?(and backwards, and sideways?) or just for AI bots to move forward only. Pootis9000 10:29, 23 November 2011 (PST)
bot_whack will kill with (apparently) any weapon
bot_whack
will kill the targeted bot with the user's selected weapon even if the weapon normally can't do damage (eg. Jarate) or can't directly affect characters at all (eg. the PDA and the [Electro Sapper]]). (The generic skull kill icon is displayed.) I'm not sure whether it's worth mentioning this in the bot_whack
entry. Pathetic One 22:58, 8 January 2012 (PST)
