Bots in solo custom servers

Suggestions Custom Servers

Custom Servers are pretty useless when your friends aren’t online or if you don’t need to get map footage, so why not spice it up with Bots in the game modes?

Here’s a small list of what the bots could be programmed to do.

Survival Games - Loot the chests, move away from middle, and wander unless they see a player (in which they’ll fight them, or a chest (in which they’ll loot it

Murder Mystery - Bots will wander around until they see a coin (in which they’ll pathfind to said coin), or a player/bot which they believe to be the murderer, in which they’ll run away, or if they have a bow, aim, and fire. Murderer bots will wander until they see a player, in which they will attack, and sherif bots will wander until they see someone pull out a sword, in which they will aim and fire.

DeathRun - Bots will follow set paths to get around the parkour (with variable mistakes that will happen at random), and stop moving if they see a trap. If they are a death, they will activate a trap when a high concentration of players/bots are at it, then move on to the next highest concentration of players/bots

SkyWars - Bots will loot chests and mine ores until they get blocks and full armor, then bridge to middle and loot the ender chests/mine ores to get full diamond/enchanted iron armour, then wander until they see a player, in which they will pathfind to the player and fight them.

Just Build - No bots

Hide & Seek - Bots will randomly select a block, pathfind to versions of their block in the map, then sit there and use taunt emotes at random. Seeker bots will pathfind to a random area, hit all pickable blocks in that area, then pathfind to another area and repeat.

Treasure Wars - Bots will be assigned teams, camp at gens until they get 32 blocks and a sword, cover their own treasure, then bridge to the diamond gen, try to break the adjacent team’s treasure, and kill everyone on said team. Then, the victorious team will bridge to middle, grab emeralds, grab diamonds, and purchase better armour, swords, more blocks, etc. They’ll also attempt to break treasures when a variable lines up correctly.

For PvP game modes, the bots won’t be like those bot fight practice things you’ll see, they’ll have aim and hit delays to be more like humans.

This may be hard to implement, but this seemed like an awesome idea to have,

Do you mean sky wars when you say looting chests?

Other than that I really like this idea. Hive might be adding single player cs soon so I could be an option between single player w/ no bots and single player w/ bots

No, there are chests in the middle of SG at the start that you loot, then you move away from middle and fight

4

you mean survival games?

i really like this idea. it would be a really big update, and a lot of people probably wont use it (aka it probably wont get added), but we can hope. i voted

Yep! But it was a test for DeathRun in 2018.

It would be so hard to code difficulty, also what about pbm? What happens to difficulty then?

You got my vote

14

Can you add skill levels such as rookie, pro, epic and veteran

If servers with dev teams half the size of Hive’s can make a PvP bot, it can’t be that hard.

The hardest part, as a game developer myself, is to make the bot not perfect at everything. Luckily, with variables and random number generators, we can add random screw ups that the bot will do to make it seem more like a human

I feel like this wouldn’t be a bad idea, as people would actually have a way to practice without affecting their stats.

you have my vote

Alsodont let that get to you, there is a reason why they call them bots lol

Love this idea, but would be super hard to program using commands.

Or you can just go to zeqa and practice.

rlly good idea. I dont really think it would get added because it would need a lot of work and even then we dont know if people will use it or not. I personally would.
