How To Customise Bot Movement and AI Behaviour on Your Insurgency Sandstorm Server

Note:

Setting bAllowStrafing=True makes bots much more aggressive, as they will fire instantly while sprinting or walking. While this creates cinematic firefights, the “spray and pray” approach doesn’t improve their accuracy; instead, the missed shots often give away their position to players.

1. Log In to Your Panel

Configuration Line	What It Does
[/Script/AIModule.AISystem]	The Header: Instructs the server that the following variables are for the core Unreal Engine AI and pathfinding system.
bAllowStrafing	Bot Aggression: When set to True, bots will shoot instantly while walking or running. They will spray and suppress players on the move instead of stopping to aim.
bAcceptPartialPaths	Pathfinding: When True, bots will still attempt to reach a player even if the final few steps of the path are blocked, rather than just standing still confused.
bEnableBTAITasks	Behaviour Trees: Controls advanced AI background tasks. It is generally best left as False for Sandstorm to prevent bot logic loops.
bFinishMoveOnGoalOverlap	Movement Logic: When False, bots must reach their exact destination coordinate before their movement task is considered “finished”, preventing them from cutting corners too early.
