Hey Dziggy, long time no see! I'm glad you're back my friend.

So you reverted the max amount of melee weapons per group back to one again? Can't you somehow make the bots randomly choose to carry melee weapons?

No, sorry. The advanced version allows you to choose, though.

OK. I just wanted to say that this is minor compared to everything else the Simple version offers. Thank you!

Nice !

i'd like my bots to take melees even if i have one, makes it more fun.

Maybe you can make them wait until the user has one to pick one. up.
if we leave an area they can take one if there's any left.

The advanced version of the add-on allows you to choose how many bots will prefer to carry melee weapons.
