Custom Gmod Bot

This mod is in *Beta*, there will be bugs, but constant updates with new features and fixes.

Special thanks to Zenlenafelex [PSF] for helping me with the pathfinding code for the bot.

I made this because I usually have to play Gmod alone and I also wanted to see what I could do with the nextbot system. This is also a base bot addon, I will use this addon to make bots for other gamemodes.

The addon was originally posted on GitHub: https://github.com/T-Rizzle12/Custom-Gmod-Bot

Default: 6.0
This is how long a bot must be dead before it can respawn.
Default: 300.0
This is the minimum range a movement goal must be along the bot's path.
Default: 1000.0
This is the maximum speed the bot can turn at.
Default: 0.01
This is the maximum aim error the bot can have. This only affects the bot while it is trying to aim at an enemy.
Default: 25.0
This is how close the bot must be to a goal in order to call it done.
Default: 0.0
If nonzero, bots will consider every nextbot to be it's enemy.
Default: 0.0
If nonzero, bots will consider every player who is not its Owner or have the same Owner as it an enemy.
Default: 0.01
When lobbing grenades at far away targets, this is the degree/range slope to raise our aim.
Default: 0.0
If nonzero, bots will skip the expensive ledge jumping checks, only set this nonzero if you have to as it may cause the bot to get stuck.
Default: 0.0
If nonzero, the bot will pick random paths when pathfinding to a goal. It is not recommended to use this.

- The bot is a player bot
- The bot can use ladders
- The bot has "smooth aiming" (Bot won't instantly aim at enemies)
- The bot can open doors
- The bot has an LOS, "Line of Sight," and can't see behind itself
- The bot remembers enemies it has seen recently
- The bot can "hear" noises created by enemies
- The bot will use its flashlight when in a dark area
- The bot will attack any NPC that is hostile them and its "owner" (The player that created it)
- The bot, if it has a medkit, will heal itself and any players nearby it, although the bot's owner is prioritized.
- The bot can enter the vehicle the bot's owner is in. This includes most modded vehicles and chairs. See "Issues"
- Support for most custom/modded weapons.

I know what you are thinking, but these are needed to make the bot fun and easy to use.
- The bot will slowly regenerate ammo for its weapons when not in combat. This prevents the player from having to "give" the bot ammo or it having to be programed to "find" ammo. (Collect it from dead enemies)

- The bot doesn't know if a Nextbot is hostile or friendly.
- The bot has very basic driving support.
- The bot can't tell the difference between projectile and tracer, "bullet," weapons.


I’m currently working on guide for how to make a proper navmesh and it would be nice to get some help creating it.
You can see what I need help with on this addon’s GitHub: https://github.com/T-Rizzle12/Custom-Gmod-Bot/issues/32
