[TF2] Robot Destruction Robots are labelled as "Dispenser built by" #6334

Currently, I am working on a community fix to update the Robot Destruction robots to fix issues such as spawn gibs being the wrong color and the models using beta designs and incorrect uber textures, but there are a few hardcoded properties of the robots that I am unable to fix on my own.

To start with, the RD Robots are labelled as "Dispenser built by" if looked at when spectating or after respawning (through the "spawn wallhacks" that occur that let you see your teammates' positions throughout the map). It'd be better if they were labelled with something like "BLU Robot A" or "RED Robot C", or use the internal names like "Frustum Robot" and "King Robot". The best option though was if the name of a robot could be set through its spawn point. I'm not sure if that'd be too much work, but it would be helpful for map makers who might want robots specified for different things, or have their designs changed and don't want them referred to as robots. This name could also appear in the kill feed.

Hello @IronFoxGaming, in general, multi-issue issue reports are bad for any issue tracker. For tracking purposes, only your first issue will be tracked here.

Sorry about that. Should I put the others into individual issues?

kisak-valve commented 2 months ago

Yes, that would be ideal.
