Bot idle.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is it easy for you to make it so bots can be triggered to stand still and face 
a certain direction?

Also, in conjunction with that, using info_waypoint so that you can make a bot 
walk to a certain point, and then stand there until triggered to attack.

Hi,

I've been messing around a bit and so far I've been successful in making bots 
stand still at a certain point. I've added a "wait" key to the info_waypoint 
entity. You can use this to specify an amount of seconds the bot should wait 
there before moving on. If you specify -1 the bot will just stand there until 
the ends of time. If you attack a bot that's waiting, the bot will still break 
free of his patrolling duties and attack the player.

If you want to, I can compile the current version of the code and make that 
available for you so you can play around with it.

I haven't started a new map yet, but I'm thinking about it.  Planning ahead of 
time.

It is great to hear that you have started work on this feature.

The only thing I think is missing, is a way to trigger a bot to move without 
having to attack it.  A player could walk by bots without attacking bots.  But 
if I put a trigger_multiple, then bots will activate.  Can you do that as well? 
 :)

Oh boy, if you make that possible with trigger_multiple to trigger idle bots to 
start moving/attacking, this will definitely be the final push to inspire me to 
make a second campaign.  I would request you release it then for me to start 
playing with.  :) :) :)

Is that possible?

Hey, what's the status on this?

To be completely honest, the status is that I've been too busy celebrating 
Christmas and new years to work on this ;-)
