To allow the bots to deal damage and ignite the barricade gascans (damage_barricade = 1) and other items like normal gascans, propane tanks, fireworks, etc. (damage_other).

As the title says, I made a script file and everything is in it:
left4bots_afterload.zip

On my laptop, it does reduce a lot of "SCRIPT PERF WARNING --- "" ran long at 1.650392ms" messages.

Describe the bug
Version 1 has a 'bot tempheal' command in addition to just 'heal'. I have looked and can't find a similar option in version 2

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
'bot tempheal'
scripted_user_func l4b,bots,tempheal

Expected behavior
Bot uses a temporary heal item

Using the 'deploy' command while looking at an upgrade pack on the ground will make the selected bot go pick the item up and deploy it. If not looking at a deployable item, the bot will deploy the upgrade pack in his inventory (if any).
https://github.com/smilz0/Left4Bots/blob/main/COMMANDS.md

Create the files 'settings_hard.txt' and 'settings_impossible.txt' if they do not exist.

To order the selected bot(s) to ignite the barricade gascans.
Just like the 'scavenge' and 'deploy' commands, it is possible to use 'destroy' directly or 'use' (if 'smart_use_destroy' is 1).
NOTE: 'damage_barricade' must be set to 1 in order for this to work.

Reimplement the L4B V1 "tempheal" command that makes the target bot(s) use their pain pills/adrenaline.
https://github.com/smilz0/Left4Bots/blob/main/COMMANDS.md

Enabled by default. Disable to make the bots MOVE commands always lead to the destination item's position instead of the nearest nav area.
https://github.com/smilz0/Left4Bots/blob/main/root/scripts/vscripts/left4bots_settings.nut

Using the 'hurry' command will make the selected bot(s) stop their L4B2 AI for this amount of time.

• Add 0x8 (CONTENTS_GRATE) to the trace mask for the pickup items to fix the problem with the bots trying to get the weapons on Questionable Ethics campaigns before pouring the gascan to the thing.

• Move the dest pos of each BotMoveTo() to the nearest nav area. This also fixes a problem on Questionable Ethics with the items inside the holes on the wall and the bots incorrectly pathing behind the wall to get the item. Also reduces the chance of getting stuck in general.

Using the 'scavenge' command without the start/stop parameter will order the selected bot to scavenge the gascan/cola bottles you are looking at. The bot can be any bot, including the bots that are not already scavenging automatically. The scavenge process must be started with bots scavenge start before using this.

Hi, I finish it, after some testing, I think there shouldn't be much of a problem.

This allows bots to aim without having to freeze them, so it doesn't affect movement. and bots can always look at the target without shaking their head.

When you tell a bot to pick up a weapon with the 'use' command, the bot will temporarily modify his weapon preferences in order to keep that weapon for the duration of the current chapter.
With the 'usereset' command you make the bot go back to his preferred weapons.

Reimplement the L4B1 feature that allows to define settings and convars changes to apply only when at least one tank is on the map.

Option to disable the orders queue and make the bots execute only one order at a time. A new order will automatically cancel the previous ones (only for manually given orders).
https://github.com/smilz0/Left4Bots/blob/main/root/scripts/vscripts/left4bots_settings.nut

Change the vocalizer.txt binding file in order to let the user map 2 different commands on the same vocalizer line, one for the line without the bot selection and one with the bot selection... pretty much like L4B1 does with the "Lead On" line.

Reimplement the L4B V1 "throw" command that makes the target bot(s) throw their throwable items at the location you are looking at.
https://github.com/smilz0/Left4Bots/blob/main/COMMANDS.md

https://github.com/smilz0/Left4Bots/blob/main/COMMANDS.md

Make the bots prioritize the melee over the shove and don't shove if the bot is already firing its gun (to confirm if the latter is really an improvement tho).

Reimplement the L4B V1 feature that allows to automatically blocks the nav areas under the spitter's spit in order to avoid the bots from stepping into the spit (spit_block_nav setting).
https://github.com/smilz0/Left4Bots/blob/main/root/scripts/vscripts/left4bots_settings.nut

To order a bot to carry a carriable item (gnome, gascan, cola bottles, oxygen tank, propane tank, fireworks) you are looking at.
The bot will carry the item until you cancel the order.

This command will make the selected bot(s) stop their L4B2 AI stuff for 'hurry_time' seconds.
Useful in rush situations so they don't waste time after pickups, dead teammates to defib, etc.
Also change the default vocalizer binding of 'Hurry' to this instead of 'cancel defib'.
https://github.com/smilz0/Left4Bots/blob/main/COMMANDS.md

To search all the setting names containing the given string.
Example:

!4b findsettings log
scripted_user_func l4b,findsettings,witch

https://github.com/smilz0/Left4Bots/blob/main/COMMANDS.md

Add a 'defib' switch to the 'cancel' command.
Example:

ellis cancel defib
bots cancel defib

This replaces the old L4B1 command 'canceldefib'.
https://github.com/smilz0/Left4Bots/blob/main/COMMANDS.md

This is just an alias of <botsource> cancel all. Adds another option for cancelling orders.

coach move
coach cancel
coach cancel all

All do the same thing.

bots move
bots cancel
bots cancel all

Same but for all the bots at once.

If using the "VScript Survivor Manager" add bots which has same Actor name, the vocalizer function will become confused.

A simple example, if my character is "Nick", and look at another "Nick" bot, the vocalizer order does not work.

The reason is that "concepts system" will only tell us Actor name of "who" and "subject", so I thought if I add "userid" for them, is that could solve the problem of the same Actor name?

Use DoEntFire("!self", "AddContext", "whoid:"+player.GetPlayerUserId(), 0, null, player); to add the id, yeah, it does work, i can use GetPlayerFromUserID(id) get player easily.
But at the same time I found, I don't know how to add "subjectid" for "subject". :(

So, to solve this problem, there are two points:

1. Add "whoid" and "subjectid".
2. Prevent deleted by DoEntFire("!self", "ClearContext", "", 0, null, player).

Do you think this idea is feasible?

If only the TLS team could add this just like they did with "TankActive" and "Chapter" in the last update. ;P

Reimplement the L4B V1 "give" command that allows you to receive one item from the bots.
https://github.com/smilz0/Left4Bots/blob/main/COMMANDS.md

Added the old L4B1 setting to decide whether to load or not load the configured 'convars.txt' file.
https://github.com/smilz0/Left4Bots/blob/main/root/scripts/vscripts/left4bots_settings.nut

Set "movetype" makes bots do nothing，

NetProps.SetPropInt(self, "movetype", 0);

but set "m_fFlags" can solve the problem,

ATCONTROLS = 64; // Player can't move, but keeps key inputs for controlling another entity
NetProps.SetPropInt(self, "m_fFlags", NetProps.GetPropInt(self, "m_fFlags") | ATCONTROLS);

and also need this to prevent bot Teleport

Convars.SetValue("sb_unstick", 0);

For debugging purposes.
The commands make the bots start the pause and print their current L4B2 AI state to the console.
https://github.com/smilz0/Left4Bots/blob/main/COMMANDS.md

The addon settings are not saved to the settings.txt file after changing them via !l4b settings [setting] [value] and scripted_user_func l4b,settings,[setting],[value] commands.

https://github.com/smilz0/Left4Bots/blob/main/COMMANDS.md
https://github.com/smilz0/Left4Bots/blob/main/root/scripts/vscripts/left4bots_settings.nut

https://github.com/smilz0/Left4Bots/blob/main/COMMANDS.md

When a human player joins and replaces a bot who was executing the 'wait' order, the human can't move.

Settings overrides and ontank settings should not be saved to the base settings.txt file.
