Elim spawning

[Peace_Maker]

After talking to more staff members and from 2d's post I now realize it is impossible to have the bots control spawning in such events like elim. To make the bots do this in the first place would take an extensive amount of programing for many reasons. One being the simple fact that there are many freqs fighting and not just two. Okay lets say we have the bot programmed, but now the problem is lag. A bot that has that much info stored on it will cause the elim arena to lag greatly from what I understand. Okay, I asked "What about multiple bots." Response: "The more bots you have the greater the lag." I don't know about you guys but I think there is more than enough lag from the 56kers and we don't need more. This is just what I am being told. If anyone knows more about the issue of programming bots you can post your info about them on here. Thanks for the fed back. Im just trying to make tw better for all of us.

The solution is neither simple or viable. Programming a bot to not allow a person to shoot nor die isn't the easiest thing (I've tried it.) The solutions that can be created to do that rely on some sort of prizing system (shields, negative green) or (prize bullets, negative prize energy) something like that, just rediculous and a lot of work, and even then there will be times when it doesn't work. So not simple.

If you take a look into a simple approach (TWEL spawning system), well yeah that's pretty easy to work with and works fairly decently, however the new problem is you have to modify the bot which runs elim for these changes (Robo Ref.) That solution is not viable because only Priit can modify the bots and that takes time & effort where it is not necessary. Live with the spawning.

How to avoid spawning:

1. Dodge
2. Spawn them before they spawn you
3. If they do spawn you, spawn them back.

If you get spawned just play on, ffs, your whole life won't fall apart because you are spawned, just say "nice spawn" and move on.
