Misconceptions

Going from a “dumb” to “smart” bots required a lot of coding.

Bots moved a lot like robots in the real world. They can learn as they go. They will learn the map as they go and how to

use items

How it actually is

Bots are stupid Bots will not go anywhere that is not specifically

planed out for them Anything they learn is built into the map long

before you play the game If you want a bot to learn how to use a lift you

have to tell it here is a lift and how to get off of it.
