Question - Tweak something in KA

[microscope]

If I have StickHow=Behind set for bots, they sometimes run away a bit before getting behind the mob. Sometimes it causes them to fall off nearby ledges and stuff so I have to be careful. Is there any way I can tweak KA so they will only go a short distance to get behind stuff?

I use:
StickHow=snaproll rear

and that seems to work fine for getting behind the mob.

Yeah it is good but would love to tighten it up a bit. Maybe on emu they run a bit further.

put your tank with his/her back to said ledge and have your bot-team (aka idiots) snaproll to the rear in peace.

trying to modify the behaviour of snap is really hard to right. control what you can control, so that the uncontrollable is easier.

you could also use !front or side in the stickhow. but i'd just position your team relative to the tank rather than tanking wherevs and expecting bot team to intuitively not suicide off the ledge

From eyeballing, the StickDist variable seems like the one that might be adjusting that behavior. You could try reducing it to 10 to match the UW distance, or even smaller.

Big "user beware" editing something in the Do Not Edit This block, though.

Ok thanks I will just fight away from edges. I can also try some things I found like "behind delaystrafe loose uw"

The side-strafe around to the back is the devil, snaproll is a winner.
