Este mod es increíble, más rápido que escribir en el chat si se aprenden las combinaciones.
Gracias

It took a lot of trial and error, but I found out that by enabling Steam Input, you can set a joystick to behave as the mouse with the Joystick Mouse option. The downside is that you can't map controller buttons while using Steam Input. So you have to set the Smart Vocalizer to a keyboard key, and then set the button you want on the controller to that keyboard key in Steam Input. However, it will forget your mappings every time you restart the game. In order for it to remember, you have to keep the gamepad enabled in the settings menu, and then manually add the keyboard key binds to the 360 controller config. Only then will it load back up your key bindings, and only while a controller is connected.

Also, one other complication for me personally is that I play with inverted Y-axis for camera, and that unfortunately continues to be inverted for the wheel menus. I guess it's the best I'm going to get. Really it's way more complicated than it should be.

I’m afraid I don’t have any experience with controllers nor do I have control over how menu wheels work. This mod just adds onto the framework that comes with the pre-existing vocalizer wheels made by valve, so I’d look for a mod that specifically changes that.

Is there a way to make this work with a controller? It would be very convenient. Right now I have it set so that R3 brings up the wheel menu, but it doesn't stay up unless I hold the button down. I also can't select anything in the menu with the right analog stick, I have to use the mouse.

What would work great is a controller mode where the menu is toggled on instead of held and you point the stick in the direction of the selections you want to make. If there is already options for this, I haven't found them.

I use "C" as my keybind because its right next to my thumb, I find that works the best for me
TylerGamerPhung 19 Jun @ 1:28pm 
Random question of mine, which keybind is recommend for the Vocalizer?
Ammar Kun 27 May @ 4:58am 
If the bots use "Lead the Way" (L4D1 a like) you can use few Custom Maps

I’m not in charge of the original mod, I don’t know what you expect me to do

Cheetos  [author] 16 May @ 11:01am 
The "pick up / use item" command will work for this. I also haven't tested it but the lead command might also work (not sure about that one)
enigma 16 May @ 3:32am 
Thank you for your answer, I still have a question, that is, what command is required to sacrifice the final level to allow the robot to go down and start the engine (after the three switches are activated, you have to go down and start the engine once):steamhappy:
Cheetos  [author] 13 May @ 11:24am 
That's interesting because I was just playing 2 days ago with no issue. Perhaps try to reinstall the mods and/or use the "verify game files" option on steam.
weasel 13 May @ 6:15am 
none of the options work besides heal me and heal yourself
Cheetos  [author] 11 May @ 11:36am 
Yes I believe so if you use the "pick up / use item" command

Hello, can this let the computer use something similar to a Gatling gun?
@Cheetos
Well, I just did it from the console by entering the command you told me "bots automation all" and nothing happened.
The only weird thing was that Coach apparently wanted to do something "weird" outside the store (exactly, he went to the left side of the store outside and stayed next to a green bench and won't leave). Also, after entering it in the console, I got the following message: "Unknown command: bots."
Then I tried the command from the game chat and nothing (I still don't think I should have entered it there, but I had nothing to lose by trying).

I think we'll have to wait for the creators to update the mod and implement the bots to go after the Coca-Cola cans when we give them the order. :(
Cheetos  [author] 7 May @ 2:04pm 
Type in "bots automation all" into the in-game chat and see if the bots automatically deliver Whitaker's cola. If they do, great. If they don't, then you'll just have to hope the Left 4 Bots 2 dev updates his mod.
@Cheetos
Sorry if I'm annoying, but I don't understand anything on that page (I don't even know how it will help me).
So, I'll be quick and concise: Which of those commands will help me with my problem?
Cheetos  [author] 7 May @ 10:57am 
It’s one of their typed commands, so you don’t have to be an admin to test it. See their commands page for all of the information on typed commands. [github.com]
@Cheetos
Regarding the command you mentioned, "automation all," is it something that the mod creators themselves should test in Whitaker or is it an option in one of their radial menus?
Cheetos  [author] 6 May @ 3:08am 
I would test if the “automation all” command works first for Whitaker. There’s a good chance it might
@Cheetos
So...
Is it just a matter of waiting for the original creators to fix that? Or in their "L4B2 Smart Vocalizer + Ion's Vocalizer" mod, can I instruct the bots to deliver the Coke cans to Withaker?
Cheetos  [author] 5 May @ 9:22pm 
I’m not entirely sure, I think that would be a question for the L4B2 mod developer because giving cola to Whitaker is such a campaign-specific action.

The only thing I can think of that might work is to type in “bots automation all”, and hope the original dev manually put in a script that has the bots give the cola to Whitaker during that section. I believe I set the PlayerImWithYou voiceline to trigger the “automation all” script, but it’s not a specific option in this menu due to how rarely it’s used. (I think it is an option in my combined Ion’s Vocalizer + Smart Vocalizer mod though)
@Cheetos

Part 2:
In this new version of the mod, I did the same thing, but the bot just opened the door and that's it.
Then I thought, "Maybe they changed the mechanics, and if I give it the order to pick up the Coke cans, it will go and give them to Whitaker." Whitaker," but the bot only had them in its hand and didn't go to give them to Whitaker. At times, it dropped the Coke cans when attacked, then looked for them, but didn't do the work of going and giving them to Whitaker.

So, I'd like to know if in this case I have to select any other specific option so the bot or bots can do jobs like this on their own.
@Cheetos

Part 1:
I have a question
I was on the L4D2 street map where we have to go to a store and pick up some Coca-Cola cans and give them to Whitaker.
And I remember perfectly well that in Left 4 Bots 1, if we gave the order to the bots, they could go get the Coca-Cola cans and give them to Whitaker (and I always sent one of the bots to do that).
But now in this version 2 of the Left 4 Bots mod, I don't know if they changed that mechanic.
Because I remember that I first selected the bot, then looked at the store door, and finally, using the radial menu, I chose the option to give the bot the order to go get the Coca-Cola cans.
@Cheetos Thaaaanks! :D
Cheetos  [author] 4 May @ 2:12pm 
Yes, using the “pick up / use item” command bots can perform any interactable task that the player can do
I have a question.
With this menu, can I give orders to bots to trigger certain events?
For example, in the third map of the first game (where there's a turret), we have to open a metal door using a switch.
With this menu, can I give orders to a bot to open it for me?
Schwarze 22 Apr @ 8:29am 
You should heal yourself NOW!
thx, i'll give it a try!
Cheetos  [author] 7 Apr @ 8:38am 
It is not, however I did specifically make a combined mod with Ion's so you can have both! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3420062615
is this compatible with ion's?
Cheetos  [author] 30 Mar @ 8:06pm 
Yes actually, if you bind the shortcut wheels, you can decide which wheels you want and which you don’t want. So you don’t have to bind the “throw” one at all.
Crabby Cakes 30 Mar @ 3:54pm 
It's great but, is there a way to completely turn off the "throw" options because sometimes Ill actually panick press it from the main menu and burn my entire team alive if we get cornered by a tank.
Cheetos  [author] 1 Mar @ 9:42am 
Thank you for the compliments! That means a lot to me
CuCuy ރ 28 Feb @ 9:21pm 
This made the bots so much more bearable to deal with, i can just teleport them to where ever i want its just a game changer. Ty so much bro, this is the best bot add-onn by far!!
kabyidon 26 Feb @ 4:52pm 
@Cheetos It looks like it is affecting many mods on the Workshop right now, problem with the Steam servers. Sorry for reporting, not much you can do on your end
Cheetos  [author] 26 Feb @ 7:34am 
@kabyidon Check if you can download other vocalizer mods like Ion's, let me know if that works since that's the easiest way to tell if the problem is with my end.
kabyidon 26 Feb @ 5:05am 
I don't know why but I'm getting a
An error occurred while attempting to download a file from the UGC server!
in console when attempting to download this mod.

Same thing when trying to do it remotely through

Es bueno, aunque hay que aprender a memorizarse los botones de las acciones, pero al fin Coach y Francis pueden matar a la Witch de un solo disparo con la escopeta

can you make a wheel for selecting survivors?
Cheetos  [author] 18 Dec, 2024 @ 4:19pm 
Ah, I misread you. Still though I'm keeping it as is, the essentials wheel is more for needing to do something absolutely immediately without navigating menus; if you're lost or need a witch crowned, you can probably afford the extra click to navigate the main wheel.

I have added each individual wheel as separate binds for even more speed on every command if you don't want to navigate a menu at all. Beyond that, if you want a wheel customized exactly the way you want, you'll have to manually edit the config, which isn't too hard if you know the basics of modding.
Pyromaniax 18 Dec, 2024 @ 4:05pm 
thats my point, hurry up is very used while follow me isnt, lead on is useful if ur lost in a map so the bots will find the right path and crown witches in the way. And not having a cancel function of any sort is a bit of a nuisance if you selected the wrong command ngl.
Cheetos  [author] 18 Dec, 2024 @ 12:33pm 
I am satisfied with the way the current layout is. The empty command allows you to exit a wheel without selecting anything and I personally use the hurry command much more than the lead on command.
Pyromaniax 18 Dec, 2024 @ 7:14am 
gotta say having the cancel command in the middle of those menus with empty slots would be nifty, also follow me is kinda redundant in the essentials wheel bc hurry up does the same, Id suggest replacing it with "lead" instead
