Commands

Omni-bot commands

Now that you have access to the command console in the game, and you are running a listen server, and assuming the Omni-bot libraries are configured properly to be loaded by the game you are playing, it's time to execute some bot commands. Bot commands range from administrative functionality, such as changing the minimum or maximum bot count, to developer commands that are used by way-pointers and/or script authors to create data for the bots in order to play a map properly.

Usage

All Omni-bot commands are executed with the word bot as the first element of the command. This is because bot is the actual command, as far as the game engine is concerned, and the rest of the arguments that come after are forwarded through to the Omni-bot library for handling.

Some of the commands are defined within the compiled code of the Omni-bot dll, while some are defined from script files. New commands can be added via scripts in order to extend functionality or provide shortcuts to commonly used functionality.
