How would you do it so the player and the bots don't spawn right on top of each other? Thanks, D

Yes. Are you saying just to put more spawn points in the mission script? Also, is there a way to say that a particular spawn point is just for the player and others points just for bots?

It is possible to do so. In our game, we have spawn points different for each team. It is done mainly in scripts.

jared, check out the game.cs script and the function pickSpawnPoint() inside that file, that should give you an idea

create a new simgroup for the ai spawn locations ...
can simply copy a spawnpoint in there ..
edit in the mission after
wouldnt there be a way in the editor to create the simgroup and assign the objects to it?
would be nice..
then of course when spawning the ai a simple test to see if they are ai ..
and spawn them at the appropriate spawn locations
