Bots Stealing Helicopters: Al Basrah

[killacure2]

As an avid pilot, I love popping into PRSP's Al Basrah and hopping into the gunner seat of the Apache or flying it with a bot. Unfortunately, by the time you spawn and GET TO DA CHOPPA, the bot is already taking off and you are left standing there like a moron. It would really help to either place a spawn point at the two helicopters.

Thanks a lot dev's!

[RoAdRa$H]

it's also a problem because is DOD off?

[RoAdRa$H]

dont forget they crowd in..

[octo-crab]

Moved to the feedback area as it's not a bug.

Agreed though, bots stealing MY vehicles is rather annoying

[Jarryd_455495]

I Agree. Although till it gets fixed i find the best way is to grab the other Apache and go pick up some random bot, then change seats.

+1

(offtopic: was the driving routes for the bots changed? next release? they don't seem to have for me. I was just wondering)

[ballard_44]

I swear there is an Apache in the 'corner' where only a human can spawn close to?
Should be a Lynx there, too?

Maybe the GPO changed?

Yeah, thats the "other one" i was talking about

[myles]

i dont play co-op alot but when i do i shoot the bots if the try to get in a chopper of attck heli i shoot them

[Drunkenup]

If theres a specific vehicle you want them to not use AT ALL. Then see List of important modding threads - Battlefield SinglePlayer Forum, scroll down to the first AI related answer. Remember to make a backup.

Get in switch seats with the driver/pilot-bot and then get out before you die. Then get the kit and go have some fun! While we're talking about bots and vehicles, did anyone notice that if you get in with a bot from a different squad you can merely change seats to override the "you must be in this vehicle with someone in your squad" thing?

But the thing is they take off before you get to it

[503]

Whenever bots steal my helicopter in co ops, I shoot them down. They're better off not flying helicopters

[xI DIaboLoS Ix]

Hahahah, i know what you mean. Damn bots steal my assets they get some bullets up there arrse

I dont think the devs will even bother with this one.

Diabolos.

worth a shot...

[MattMan569]

I really hope this does get fixed. Can't you make spawns that only players can spawn at, not bots? If not there should be, as I saw above, a little 'airfield' that only players can get to.

[sharon.wilson321]

yaaa otherwise it just annoying

Read this and then you know, how to place your apache to another place by replacing a vehicle (like a jeep) by an additional helicopter.
Theoretically, you can replace all vehicles in any map by an apache.
Hopefully, you find a vehicle, that is close enough to your spawn point.

This Tutorial will help explain how to take out vehicles you may not like. Or add some of you favorite vehicles to a map that is just craving for some extra fire power.

Were going to be working with Kashan Desert (Since this has been a recent topic of interest).

Were only going to be working with two files. But first lets load up the gameplayobject.con

[Directory]:C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr_sp_85 or pr_sp8\levels\kashan desert\server.zip\gamemodes\gpm_coop\64\gameplayob ject.con

The File should look like this.

Take a look at this file and familiarize your self with it and it's setup.

[FYI]: Your file will MUCH MUCH MUCH LARGER, probably a couple of thousand lines.

[Directory]:C:\Program Files\ EA GAMES\ Battlefield 2\mods\pr_sp_85 or pr_sp8\objects\objects_server.zip\vehicles

Once you have this folder open you will see a couple of other folders that will include all of you land, air, and sea vehicles.

Lets go into the land vehicles and use the british challenger (just so you can easliy tell that this is effecting the map.) , or whatever vehicle you are wanting to add.

Go back into the gameplayobject.con, and replace one of the (jep_vodnik) with a (gb_tnk_challenger_green)

[Puslox]

Can't anyone make the bots spawn after all players have joined the game?

[Outlawz7]

We've largely addressed this issue by splitting up where bot and human vehicles spawn for 0.95.
