@M Affiliates - Lmao you're totally right, completely forgot I even did that. I'll get that changed. You know more about my bots than even I do...
M Affiliates 6 May @ 7:25am 
it would change something actually, since iirc patroltron specifically doesn't have a pre-patrol time (to compensate for not having an enraged state)
Spoon  [author] 4 May @ 4:29pm 
@M Affiliates - I get what you're saying, but it would not functionally change anything. The pre-patrol time serves as what is essentially a hiding state, and since the nextbot will attack you on-sight, it does exactly what ambushing does. However, if it gives you peace of mind, I'll remove the ambushing function from the bot in 1.3 :).
M Affiliates 4 May @ 7:25am 
i just checked and if it reaches its wander goal or the time limit then it can randomly set up an ambush, this can be most simply fixed by replacing the self:Ambush() on lines 244 and 257 with self:Wander()
M Affiliates 4 May @ 7:20am 
what i mean is that occasionally when patrolling ends through other means (usually timing out i believe), the nextbot will call the random behaviour routine which can occasionally allow the nextbot to randomly ambush, a simple fix for this would be to replace the self:Ambush() in this function with self:Wander()

@M Affiliates - I see you've got quite the extensive knowledge! However, technically it's not really functionally possible to remove ambushing. The nextbots will always attack you on sight, so any hiding phase is technically ambushing.

@landenlord roblox and nextbot - Hey, you never know. This pack is set for an update soon.

Can you prevent Patroltron from ambushing since the original Gargitron never had that functionality
DO HE EVER TRY TO DO PATROLAKER ITS FAKER AND HAS A NEW AI AND CHANGE TO OTHER NEXTBOTS

i think he uses ms paint to smuge tainteds eye when he is enraged
How do you make these look like that

How does the nextbot patrol?

@tavernard - For anyone who wants to ask for nextbots to be added, please use the Suggestions discussion! It's much easier for me to read there.

Addressing Patrolinn, there really is no need for me to make that. Hinn's behavior is pretty much that of a patrolling nextbot anyway, just with some very slight differences and a banger chase theme.
Spoon  [author] 23 Nov, 2024 @ 8:41pm 
@welding - They use pathfinding, where they locate certain locations on a navmesh to go to. The patrol routes are then calculated as the fastest route to said location.

Add Patrolinn (That Means Hinn)
and Patrolitron (That Means Termitron)

Why does it look like patroltron have bigger lips
dav frum algbrla crass 17 Aug, 2024 @ 10:24am 
can you make patroler (angers patrolling variant)
Spoon  [author] 17 Aug, 2024 @ 9:05am 
@PardonMeMiss - As long as the map has a navmesh, the nextbots will work on them. However, since they take certain patrolling cycles for each map, some maps may be better to use than others. A map with lots of cover would be better to use these fellas on than a big open space map.
PardonMeMiss 17 Aug, 2024 @ 12:05am 
are their certain maps that they work on?
muellelosindios 16 Aug, 2024 @ 7:21pm 
wth

Alright then, thanks for the response :steamhappy:

@ⒷⒷⓆ ⒸⒽⒾⒸⓀⒺⓃ - That computing error is something that seems to happen with all stalking nextbots, at least from my experience, as it is a problem within the original Gargitron's code, which literally every single stalking nextbot has built upon in some way or another. I'm not quite sure what causes it to happen, but I can assure you that it is perfectly safe to spawn multiple of the same nextbot. If it happens, just undo and respawn the nextbot. :)
mclovin 16 Aug, 2024 @ 12:37pm 
also i got this bug in the console when i tried to spawn 3 patroltrons. and the last one i spawned stopped moving:

"NextBot [51][npc_patroltron] Error: lua/entities/npc_patroltron.lua:763: bad argument #2 to 'Compute' (Vector expected, got nil)"

i dont know if its bc of me spawning 3 patroltrons or another thing.
mclovin 16 Aug, 2024 @ 10:38am 
i always wanted something like this. So this is epic aproved
mclovin 16 Aug, 2024 @ 10:38am 
this is actually pretty goddam good
Spoon  [author] 11 Aug, 2024 @ 8:14pm 
Why is it always my goofy nextbots that get the most popular itsg these mfs were so easy to make
Dughoo 11 Aug, 2024 @ 4:46pm
