[ How to use commands ]

1. Press the ` key on your keyboard, to the left of the 1 key (https://i.imgur.com/7pAqBUw.png).

2. In the Console window that appears, type a command into the text box.

If you are adding arguments, do not type < or >.
For example, to set bot_allow_grenades <0,1> to 0, you would enter
bot_allow_grenades 0  or  bot_allow_grenades “0”
but not bot_allow_grenades <0>

3. Click Submit or press Enter on your keyboard.

Example valid command input: bot_kill
Example valid command input: bot_allow_rogues 1
Example valid command input: bot_allow_rogues "1"
Example invalid command input: bot_allow_rogues"1"
Example invalid command input: bot_allow_rogues1
Example invalid command input: bot_allow_rogues <0>
Example invalid command input: bot_allow_rogues <0,1>


Alternatively, you can also use the command menu to access the commands listed here.

Press H on your keyboard once to open the command menu. It will appear on the left of your screen.

Then, hover your mouse over the menus to expand the sub-menus. Once you have reached your desired option, left-click once to trigger it.

Ensure you keep your cursor within the menu. Otherwise, the expanded sub-menus will automatically retract (just like a normal context menu).

[ Navigation Mesh Editing ]


Each of the following bot_nav_* commands operates on the navigation mesh, allowing hand-tuning of the automatically learned data.

It is recommended that these commands be bound to keys for ease of use while editing.

*** CAUTION: There is no "undo" operation. Save your navigation mesh regularly and avoid rushing work. ***


bot_nav_edit <0,1>
Setting this command to 1 allows hand-tuning of the current map's bot navigation mesh.
Once edit mode has been activated, the below bot_nav_* commands can be used.
0 = Disable navigation mesh editing mode (default).
1 = Enable navigation mesh editing mode.


bot_nav_begin_area
bot_nav_end_area
Creates new nav areas.
"bot_nav_begin_area" marks one corner of the new area to be created.
"bot_nav_end_area" marks the opposite corner of the new area to be created and creates it.
To cancel the operation, issue a "bot_nav_begin_area" command again.


bot_nav_connect
Creates a ONE-WAY link from the currently marked area to the currently selected area, telling the bots they can walk FROM the marked area TO the selected area.
For most areas, it is ideal to connect the areas in both directions.
However, it may be ideal for various height areas to only allow the bots to move one way - so they can jump down from a height if they reach it, but not jump back up.


bot_nav_corner_select
bot_nav_corner_raise
bot_nav_corner_lower
"bot_nav_corner_select" selects one of four corners of a currently marked navigation mesh which allows that corner to be raised or lowered.
"bot_nav_corner_raise" raises the corner.
"bot_nav_corner_lower" lowers the corner.
Issue the "bot_nav_corner_select" command multiple times to cycle between the four corners (and then once again to deselect all of the corners).


bot_nav_crouch
Flags the currently selected area as "crouch," requiring bots to crouch (duck) to move through it.


bot_nav_delete
Deletes the currently selected nav area.


bot_nav_disconnect
Disconnects ALL connections from the currently marked area to the currently selected area.


bot_nav_jump
Flags the currently selected area as "jump." This hints to bots that they should jump to traverse this area.
NOTE: Bots will ALWAYS perform a "crouch+jump" maneuver when traversing an area flagged as "jump".


bot_nav_mark
Marks the currently selected nav area for later operations.


bot_nav_merge
Merges the currently selected nav area and a previously marked nav area into a new, single nav area.
The merge will only occur if the two areas are the same size along the merge line.


bot_nav_no_jump
Flags the currently selected area as "no jump." This hints to bots that they should not jump in this area.


bot_nav_precise
Flags the currently selected area as "precise", requiring bots to carefully traverse this navigation mesh before continuing onto the next one. Especially useful for small catwalks that are easy to fall from.


bot_nav_splice
Creates a new nav area between the currently marked area and the currently selected area and bi-directionally connects the new area.
Especially useful for creating sloped nav areas.


bot_nav_split
Splits the currently selected nav area into two new nav areas along a new white line.


bot_nav_strip
Strips all approach points, encounter spots, and hiding spots (generated using the "bot_nav_analyze" command) from the currently marked navigation mesh.


bot_nav_warp
Warps (teleports) your view to the currently marked navigation mesh. NOTE: You must be in the "Free Look" spectator mode.


bot_nav_zdraw <height value>
Specifies how high above the ground to draw the visual "nav mesh" guide when in nav edit mode (integer value).
If the terrain is very irregular or highly sloped, it can be useful to increase this value to 10 or 15. The default value is 4.


bot_quicksave <0,1>
Specifies whether the analysis phase of bot map learning will be skipped.
This is useful when iteratively hand-tuning nav files. Note that by skipping this analysis, the bots will not look around the world properly.
0 = Do not skip the analysis phase of bot map learning (default).
1 = Skip analysis phase of bot map learning.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



[ Navigation Mesh Place Naming ]


Place names are used by bots to report locations over the radio, as well as location text strings for player radio-chat.
Remember to save the navigation mesh often ("bot_nav_save") just in case you make a mistake, and then analyze the navigation mesh again ("bot_nav_analyze").
"bot_nav_edit" must be set to 1 to enter the place name editing mode.


bot_nav_toggle_place_mode
Toggles place naming mode. Every navigation mesh currently highlighted with the crosshair will be displayed with one of three colors:
Green = Place name currently set.
Blue = Other place name already set.
Red = Place name not set.
Enter the command again to return to navigation mesh edit mode.


bot_nav_use_place
Prints a list of all usable place names in the console.


bot_nav_use_place <place name>
Selects a place name (e.g., bot_nav_use_place BombsiteA).


bot_nav_toggle_place_painting
Toggles painting navigation meshes with the selected place name.
Enter the command again to stop painting.
NOTE: Every navigation mesh currently highlighted with the crosshair have the selected place name applied to it.
NOTE: To change the selected place name, you must first enter this command again to disable the place name painting mode.


bot_nav_place_floodfill
Selects the place name from the currently highlighted navigation mesh and flood fills all other meshes outward from there, setting all adjacent navigation meshes to that place name until it encounters other navigation meshes with different place names.


bot_nav_place_pick
Selects the place name of the currently highlighted navigation mesh as your current place name.


bot_nav_mark_unnamed
Marks the closest unnamed navigation mesh and displays the total number of unnamed meshes.
Useful for locating unnamed navigation meshes, when used in conjunction with the "bot_zombie 1",  "bot_goto_mark" and "bot_nav_warp".



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



[ Navigation Mesh Processing ]

bot_nav_analyze
Analyzes the navigation mesh to determine Approach Points and Encounter Spots.
This may take several minutes based on the size and complexity of the map.
NOTE: Requires a bot to be in the game. The recommended procedure is to save the mesh, add a bot, and quickly enter bot_analyze.


bot_nav_load
Clears the current navigation mesh and loads it from the saved file.


bot_nav_save
Saves the current navigation mesh to a .nav file with the same name as the current map.
For example, if the current map is de_dust.bsp, the .nav file will be named de_dust.nav.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



[ Debugging ]

bot_debug <0,1,2>

0 = Do not display any bot debug messages.
1 = Print debug messages for the bot you are currently spectating (you must be in the "First Person" or "Free Chase Cam" spectator modes) to the console
2 = Display debug messages for all bots. 
Debug messages will be printed to the console indicating what the bot is currently thinking and doing, as well as any error or warning messages (including an audible warning sound) pertaining to the bot's behavior or navigation.


bot_goto_mark
Causes one bot in the map to move to the center of the currently marked area. 
Useful for testing the walkability of specific portions of the navigation mesh.


bot_memory_usage
Prints memory usage statistics about the active bot module and the currently loaded navigation mesh file to the console.


bot_nav_check_consistency <filename.nav>
Checks the consistency and integrity of a bot navigation mesh file.


bot_show_danger <0,1>
Specifies whether a visual guide of "danger" in each nav area is shown as a vertical line.
Blue lines represent danger for Counter-Terrorists, and red lines are danger for Terrorists.
0 = "Danger" visual guides are not shown (default).
1 = "Danger" visual guides are shown (default).


bot_show_nav <0,1>
Specifies whether a visual guide of a small section of the nav-mesh around each bot is shown.
0 = A visual guide of a small section of the nav-mesh around each bot is not shown (default).
1 = A visual guide of a small section of the nav-mesh around each bot is shown.


bot_traceview <value>
Used for internal debugging of bot navigation.


hostage_debug <0,1>
Used for internal debugging of the hostage's navigation. The purple line indicates the direction that the hostage is looking, the green lines indicate the hostage's field of view, the orange line indicates the next navigation mesh that the hostage is heading towards, while the yellow line indicates the hostage's complete future path.
Prints debug messages that will be printed to the console indicating what the hostage is currently thinking and doing, as well as any error or warning messages pertaining to the hostage's behavior or navigation.
This command is only available in Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, not Counter-Strike 1.6.
NOTE: You should be playing as a Counter-Terrorist, and have already pressed the use key on a hostage (to instruct them to follow you) for best results.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



[ Miscellaneous ]

bot_about
Prints the bot version number and information about the bot's author to the console.


bot_profile_db <filename.db>
