Bots
To use AI bots on supported maps, the server administrator should type the following commands into the console:
Command Description
tf_bot_add This command will create one or more AI bots of random classes on random teams. They will also be assigned amusing human-like names.
Syntax
tf_bot_add [<count>] [<class>] [<team>] [<difficulty>] [<name>]
Parameters
<count>
Specifies the number of bots to spawn. If omitted, one bot is spawned.
Trying to create bots beyond maxplayers will fail with an error message in the console.
<class>
The classname of the class can be Demoman, Engineer, HeavyWeapons, Medic, Pyro, Scout, Soldier, Sniper, or Spy
<team>
Specifies the team name to assign the bot, where team can be red or blue.
<difficulty>
Sets the difficulty level for the bot, where difficulty can be easy, normal, hard, or expert.
<name>
Sets the connecting bot's name.
Example
tf_bot_add 3 heavyweapons red easy will add three Heavies to the RED team at the easy skill level.
tf_bot_difficulty Defines the skill of bots joining the game.
Syntax
tf_bot_difficulty <level>
Parameters
<level>
Sets the difficulty level for the bots. Values are: 0=easy, 1=normal, 2=hard, 3=expert. Default is "Normal" (1).
Example
tf_bot_difficulty 2 will set all bots created after this command to "Hard" difficulty.
tf_bot_force_class If set to a class name, all TFBots will respawn as that class.
Syntax
tf_bot_force_class <class>
Parameters
<class>
The classname of the class can be Demoman, Engineer, HeavyWeapons, Medic, Pyro, Scout, Soldier, Sniper, or Spy. Default is "" (aka blank).
Example
tf_bot_force_class medic will make all TFbots respawn as Medic.
tf_bot_join_after_player If nonzero, bots wait until a player joins before entering the game. This only applies to quota spawned bots.
Syntax
tf_bot_join_after_player <integer>
Parameters
<integer>
Either 1 or 0. Default is 1 (enabled).
Example
tf_bot_join_after_player 0 will make TFBots join the game when added even if no players are on a team.
tf_bot_keep_class_after_death If zero, bots will always respawn as a different class.
Syntax
tf_bot_keep_class_after_death <integer>
Parameters
<integer>
Either 1 or 0. Default is 0 (disabled).
Example
tf_bot_keep_class_after_death 1 will prevent TFBots from changing class.
tf_bot_kick
This command will remove one or all AI bots.
Syntax
tf_bot_kick <name/all>
Parameters
<name/all>
Specifies the name of bot to remove or all.
Example
tf_bot_kick CEDA will kick the TFbot named "CEDA" if one exists.
tf_bot_prefix_name_with_difficulty If nonzero, append the skill level of the bot to the bot's name
Syntax
tf_bot_prefix_name_with_difficulty <integer>
Parameters
<integer>
Either 1 or 0. Default is 0 (disabled).
Example
tf_bot_prefix_name_with_difficulty 1 will cause added bots to have names like "1 Aimbot" (normal) and "3 Saxton Hale" (expert).
tf_bot_quota Determines the total number of TFBots in the game. Only has effect if tf_bot_quota_mode = "fill" or "match".
Syntax
tf_bot_quota <integer>
Parameters
<integer>
Whole number between 0 and how many players the server can hold. Default is 0.
Example
tf_bot_quota 2, if tf_bot_quota_mode = match, will add two bots to the server for every one human.
tf_bot_quota_mode Determines the type of quota.
Syntax
tf_bot_quota_mode<normal/fill/match>
Parameters
normal/fill/match
If 'normal', the server will never add/remove TFbots without explicit commands and bot_quota has no effect.
If 'fill', the server will adjust bots to keep N players in the game, where N is bot_quota.
If 'match', the server will maintain a 1:N ratio of humans to bots, where N is bot_quota.
Example
tf_bot_quota_mode fill will always keep (bot_quota - # of human players) bots in the game.
tf_bot_taunt_victim_chance Determines how often a Bot will taunt a human victim.
Syntax
tf_bot_taunt_victim_chance <integer>
Parameters
<integer>
Whole number between 0 and 100. Default is 20.

tf_bot_taunt_victim_chance 0 Bots will never taunt when killing a human player.
tf_bot_taunt_victim_chance 100 Bots will always taunt when killing a human player.
tf_bot_melee_only Determines whether a bot should only use Melee weapons or not.
Syntax

Parameters
<integer>
Either 1 or 0. Default is 0 (disabled).
