Bots stuck in trenches

-=THOR=- · Dec 9, 2012

Sometimes, the AI gets stuck in trenches on CTF-Spartanovka, and AttemptMantle is not called in the bot code... I tried to put CoverLinks with 'Mantle', but it didn't help.

So far I thought of these solutions, but I don't like them, so I'd like to know if you have any other tip to fix the problem:
-Track the AI path. If the bot stays within a radius for too long, order him to move elsewhere.
-Search for nearby mantle markers, and force the bot to use one of them.
-Add a path blocking volume around the trenches (bad).

I think this seems to be a problem in some custom maps. The bots just dance or sit in the trenches forever and eventually suicide.

On my map with a really big trench i dont really seem to have too many problems. I have a wooden plank that goes over the trench as a small bridge and most of the bots seem to take that path. I have small steps in my trenches too ( for now )

I found a solution. Add a blocking volume on the edge of the trench/wall, make it 1-2 units larger than the side/top.
