Dueling bots outside Orgrimmar, Stormwind etc

[Rozza122]

One thing i would love to see is dueling bots outside the main city's with a config option for the amount of bots to spawn and duel, i think it would add a lot to the immersion.

i wouldn't mind trying to do this myself to get to grips with PlayerBot development (have been coding for 15 years, just not in c++) anyone is welcome to take on as no doubt you will do a better job than i would but any tips would be appreciated on roughly where the changes would need to be.

This is a pretty cool idea

Well, managed to get them to spawn outside Stormwind and Orgrimmar. getting there (alot left to work out though, much respect to the current devs of Playerbots!)

[Rozza122]

can anyone advise on the method to set the bots to duel / invite a player or bot to a duel, i can see there is a nc "duel" value and a rpg "start duel" but have not managed to get a bot to duel / invite to duel yet.

im convinced the strat "start duel" is bugged, i have added to bots but it doesn't seem to be triggered at any point.

well, couldn't figure out how to get them to duel so compromised and just spawned enemy faction outside instead not perfect but adds a little atmosphere

edit to add, im going to also have them (on chance) to spawn in enemy citys as well as outside pvp areas.
