discussion that contains some common problems with this
before you comment here "of course they're imperfect" or whatever related, reread the title.

these are the problems that i discovered from this addon, and again, i know they're imperfect, but i'm just sharing them, and some of these already have their own discussions from others, but i'm listing the ones i know, and discovered.

1. when there's a witch nearby, and you managed to get past her safely, they will, sometimes, just run in front of the witch.
2. either a witch, an exploding barrel or any other items appears in front/nearby of you, or somewhere, they will rarely, or sometimes, shoot it by accident, possibly triggering the witch next to it, causing more problems, or if you're trying to get Sob Story (like what i'm trying to do these days), you'll have to repeat on the start again.
3. when there's alot of zombies surrounding them, either they won't attack or shove the zombies,sometimes this also occurs when you or someone is being choked by smoker, and if the victim is being pulled, they'll just follow it unless it stops.
4. this is pretty obvious but they still can't pick up gas cans, throwables, and interact with generators.
5. if a boomer is infront of someone, sometimes they won't shove it, and if it's infront of you, before you manage to shove or realize, they sometimes will sometimes shoot it.
6. if the player and the bots are on a high place, and zombies appear under, they'll walk on the edge of the platform and shoot them from there, either they won't move, but very rarely, fall off (this happened when all of them accidentally fell off and i was left with a tank), if they're on the edge, there is a chance the other bots push themselves off and fall.
7. there is a way to prevent this and it's by making your own campaign server, but if you don't want to do that and just wants singleplayer, you can't manually choose you character, and if you used the binded key (f2), it'll enable sv_cheats, but if you don't want to do that since you're trying to get achievements like Kill Bill.
8. if there is a hole on the floor leading to the main way but the side has a door that has weapons, they sometimes won't walk on the sides to not fall. (this mostly happens to me on Tour of Terror)
9. occasionally, if you're playing on realism, and a bot is using a melee, sometimes they will be left in one place but the rest is following you, so you're gonna have to go back to where you last saw the bot. (i discovered this problem when i was playing Tour of Terror, but it might happen on other maps)
10. when there are weapons nearby or you deploy an ammo pack, they sometimes won't pick it up, causing them not being able to get new weapons and stuff to defeat specials and zombies easily, this can be problematic when you're aware of a tank nearby but it hasn't moved or you haven't gotten nearby it. (can be known by using Full Captions and sometimes seeing "Tank (action)" or just by knowing it'll appear on the next few chunks)

these are the problems that i got since i was completely confused on how to install sourcemod and will most likely use workshop items.
if you found a problem then you can just list it there
