BOTS

[Splash0ut]

the other day I was owned by a BOT. One of the other players was talking about controlling a BOT. I have been playing BF1942 since before BFV. ..........How do you control a BOT?

I dunno, but you can sometimes get them out of a vehicle by telling them to get out. I think its F6 F7.
Maybe try the "Follow Me" command near one and see if he comes along

Grimp is right

F6 F7 will tell them to bailout or abandon ship.
Also try this.
If you see a bot going to a vehicle you want, you can F6 F7 and they will turn around and go away from vehicle.
If you are piloting transport plane, you can F6 F7 over a flag and they will bail out.
I have used Follow Me command and it seems to work part of the time.

I have found that if you jump in a vehicle that is being driven by a bot & bash the 1 key a few times more often than not you can boot them from the driving seat. Doesn't always work, but then neither does the bail out either, they probably can't hear over the engine noise.

Splash,

Keep in mind, the commands the guys have recommended dont always work!!
So dont get frustrated.

One watch out - when u do an F6 F7, be careful not to keep redoing it....if you repeat it, they turn right back for the vehicle!!!

Some of the other commands barely work, like the wait command and a few others (these however, are usually worthless anyways!!).

Eureaka!
Just shoot the freakin bots that are going for your tank plane etc. No?
Just a thought : )

[[JiF]LtWaterboy]

Make sure it aint a live guy first, especially a server admint!

you need to be careful with this. if you are close with a negative score (-7), you can get kicked...even if its a bot....

i've found that some of the bots will respond to some commands, esp if they in arty and you call for it then they will fire where you aim, try this in cassino for proof.
when you hit the radio commands ie F6 or F7 then you see that some of them are are highlighted on the top of the screen, these are the ones that definitely work.
the rest are a bit hit and miss, but some will work.
sometimes i shoot them if they are in the gunner seat of a tank and won't bail, this happens if they are firing, same for the drivers too. if u shoot the gunner then u can press 1 to get into the driver seat.
also is a trick to shoot them if you are low on ammo and need a quick reload, grab their kit.
F7 F5 works to get them to jump in to a veh. worth it if you need reinforcements

The French bots in Cassino are a real PITA. I don't know how many times I've set up a shot with a Priest and then a stupid bot jumps in and drive us onto the bridge where a PaK take us out. Yelling "Bail out" does not seem to work when you're a gunner and the bot is a driver. I sometimes jump out, get him to bail, jump in, and he follows. Aaarrrgghhh.

[[JiF]zougathefist]

one way around this is to call for arty as a scout then start firing in a priest, if you are firing the bot will not drive.
better yet geta teammate to sit in for you, esp good is an engineer

You know what really annoys me?
It's when you jump out to repair your tank & the bot that was riding shotgun jumps out runs about then jumps in as driver, whilst you're still doing the repair. With luck you can catch him & jump in & force him out, but if he's off down the road it's shanks' pony for you!

[[JiF]KellysHero]

The worse is when they run over your mine and you get a tk for it...

[[JiF]Uncle Stinky]

it's shanks' pony for you!

I have no idea what that means, but it made me laugh.

Sorry that be my Olde English speak. Do not know the origin, but it means to walk!
I'll have to keep slipping some more of these in & educate you in proper English

I really hate when you are taking off on an airfield and the Bots are parking a car in front of you. Another bad thing is when the Bots are spawnmounting the vehicles or when they mount a vehicle in a long distance.
