I saw the changelog for Update 0.4.1.92, and there is a reference to the conditions under which the bot uses the pistol.
I have a question about that and would love to know if anyone knows.
The changelog says
“AI soldiers now change primary weapon for a pistol at close range, only if the primary weapon is out of ammo.”
I interpreted this statement literally. I had seen bots with pistols randomly pull out their pistols and fire in situations where it was inappropriate to use a pistol, so I assumed that this update would fix those problems.
However, a friend pointed out one thing to me.
It say.
" The bot does not run out of ammo."
Indeed, when I switch bot over to them, the magazine may be low on ammo, but the spare ammo is always untouched.As long as the player does not consume ammunition, they look to have an infinite supply of spare ammunition.
So what does “out of ammo” in the changelog mean?
Is there actually a situation where a bot can run out of ammo? Or does “out of ammo” not include unlimited spare ammo, but means that the bot’s magazine is empty + the bot is using the pistol when it is in combat?
In that case, does the BOT switch to the main weapon and reload when the threat leaves?
