i think if your player is hiding behind some bushes the bot should have a harder time seeing you. With humans its kinda fun, you can be a sniper hiding in a bush, or behind a post or something, but its a totally usless tactic against bots, they can still see you no matter what youre hiding behind. If you stay in the same spot however and shoot at the bots for too long they should check that spot often so you cant hide there again, so you have to keep swiching hiding places so you dont get seen. And im not saying that you should be invisable to bots when youre behind a bush, im just saying there should be a chance (at least 50:50) that they should not see you there until you shoot them.

Oh yes, this bug is pretty annoying. And I was just about to suggest this, damn it.

I would like to see this.

Hmmm , interesting idea. I'd like it only on lower inteligence level.

Maybe some coding like "bot's see behind scenery files: 0"

maybe you could make something similar to colliders in the mapmaker, like "hiders"?

here's how: if your player's pixel colors blend in relatively well with the scenery colors that you are behind, the bot will ignore you.

taal, stfu please. i like to play with bots myself.

good idea, this. but some scenery would be easy to see behind in reality, like trees etc. dont really care about realism though.

i think it should only be when you are crouching.

MM himself plays a lot with bots(mentioned at the second Selfkill interview).

Yeah, I agree with this. Add more 'single player' quality to the game.
