Ok i made a map involving a heavy bunker with 3 different gun points and a trench. I want some of the bots to stand still in those positions and have otheres advance, how do i do it?? I looked at the map Bunker but it didnt really help...

Try the following:
Do your normal waypointing so the bots walk right through the place where you want them to stand still (while making sure that there is a waypoint in exactly that position(let's call it special waypoint)) then place an additional waypoint somewhere in front of that special waypoint. That waypoint has to contain no directional or flying actions at all. Then connect the special waypoint with the newly created waypoint (so that there are two lines coming out of that special waypoint). The bots will then randomly choose one of the two paths, that is do nothing or walk the normal way. You can't influence how many bots stand still though, it's random...

Nice pathing tip Paranoid. You should crank out a good map with good pathing and try out for SMG. We need another dedicated Bot pather. Take some of the load off of me :)

I'll do some more maps when the new version of soldat is out... and I will try to apply for SMG soon after that!

theirs a lot more to waypoints then connecting them!

Really their not too difficult to do well, just have a look at the boards (thats how i learnt) and then mess around a lot, you should get it quite quickly

or just read the map making manual, properly!
