Quake 3 Beginners Guide
Bots
Bots are artificial players with limited intelligence intended for offline play or practice. Playing a single player campaign versus bots through the tiered-system of maps is an excellent way to become familiarized with Quake III Arena and will go a long way towards preparing for the online multiplayer experience.
Bots can be given commands via the console with the say_team command during teamplay situations.
I am the leader
…this will let bots know that you are the leader. No other bot will assume command.
The bot should follow/accompany/cover/go for the specified time. If no time is specified, the bot will carry out commands indefinitely. (However, bots, like humans, can tire of doing the same thing over and over again and may randomly go do their own thing again.)
The commands:
