Server/Bot skill

This page is a bunch of notes taken while reading the code, and is prone to errors.

As of commit d5d96c2e8ead4d6bc01de9221f57dc63643424c7 (between 0.51 and 0.52), bots can have various skill level between 0 and 9 (10 at least makes bot aim next to their real target).

dist, max_dance and min_dance are shortcuts for:

• DistanceToGoalSquared( self )
• Square( MAX_HUMAN_DANCE_DIST )
• Square( MIN_HUMAN_DANCE_DIST )

Skill level affects:

• aimShake = 10 - skill
• aimSlowness = skill /10
• behaviors:
  • aim prediction time (10 means lesser value, 0 means bigger value)
  • 5 or more: allowed to aim according to target's speed (only for lucifer cannon primary attack?)
  • for humans:
    • if not wearing a flamer nor a painsaw, skill above or equal to 3, bot distance to goal (not target, goal) < max_dance, and "(distance > min_dance or skill bellow 5)": backward moves
    • 5 or more: stop sprinting when it would prevent them to jump (stamina exhaustion)
