GMod – What can the bots do, and can I ‘teach’ them

garrys-mod

Recently I found a strange console command in GMod:
bot
After reading the help menu for it, I tried it out, and it indeed did create a bot. The bot mostly runs around, doing nothing.
I found some other console commands of interest:

bot_attack
bot_crouch
bot_mimic
bot_zombie

So I was wondering: What can the GMod bots do, can I teach them to do other things, and why are they included if they just sit around?

Best Answer

Bots in Garry's mod are mostly useless.

You can type bot_mimic 1 to have it copy your movements.
You can look at what the other cvars do here.

I believe when they were added they weren't a priority, hence them sitting around since there aren't any waypoints for them on the maps, and not having many cvars or functionality.
