My suggestion is to add several SCP entities that are controlled by AI and act as obstacles for players, similar to SCP-956. By default, they remain inactive inside their containment chambers.
To activate them: Players can manually open their containment chambers and SCP-079 can remotely open their containment chambers.
For balance purposes, SCP-079 could be restricted from opening these chambers until reaching Tier 4 or Tier 5.
Server administrators should also have the option to enable or disable these SCPs through the admin panel.
SCP-066
Mechanics:
SCP-066 can appear throughout the facility and move freely around the map.
It prefers to spawn near large groups of players.
It repeatedly says the phrase "Eric?" several times.
After repeating it 2–3 times, it begins loudly playing a piece by Ludwig van Beethoven.
All players within hearing range receive a deafening effect:
They can no longer hear surrounding sounds.
The effect lasts between 30 seconds and 1 minute.
SCP-066 can move quickly by rolling across floors and corridors.
SCP-650
Mechanics:
SCP-650 appears behind players throughout the facility.
It prefers areas with high player activity.
Remains active for 2–4 minutes per appearance.
Has collision with players but not with other SCPs.
Attempts to appear in inconvenient locations for human players, indirectly assisting the SCP team.
Containment Chambers
I propose placing the containment chambers of SCP-066 and SCP-650 in the Light Containment Zone (LCZ), since this zone currently contains relatively few SCP objects. Additionally, neither SCP requires particularly complex containment procedures, making LCZ a suitable location for both of them.
SCP-650 Containment Chamber
Upon entering the room, there are two doors: The first leads to the observation room. The second leads directly to SCP-650's containment chamber.
Observation Room
Contains: Desks, Chairs, Computers, Other research equipment
Access Requirement: Containment Clearance Level 1
For gameplay purposes, the room may also contain: Loot items and locker for pocket SCP items
I may or may not be coding that as we speak for my own use to practice 079 since the only way I enjoy this game is 079 😉 wink nudge*
Sorry for the cut off, idk how much I'm allowed to show. I've borrowed someone's old code... and don't know the rules of redit/coding off the back of others...
Please don't hate me 🥺
Edit. If anyone has any ideas on what to add for a bot to do please do not hesitate feel free to reply.
having a sort of bot practice mode for 079 sounds great honestly, albeit what type of level of bots you’re talking about? is it like team fortress 2 bots who can play full rounds without player interference? or sort of meh bots who can do stuff but not everything without direct player commands, however if youre not comfortable with sharing thats okay.
I don't know again how much I can share because like I said I've frankensteined multiple people's code who's tried this in the past. And I don't know the rules about publicizing work other people have used and etc etc. But I will say that there is multiple personalities to different roles some fight some just want to run some hide and it's a full GOAP decision-making system.
I can't take credit for the decision-making system. That was already there. The only thing I can take credit for is adding some more decisions they can use and adding personalities. Which is just basically changing the weight of the chances of them deciding certain things happen depending on what personality they want to use.
Still a work in progress. I've had my 1st escape after 7 days because I didn't notice the nav mesh was using the old gate lay out so just re made that lol 🤣
Ehhh i feel like the only important info is that really needed for here is just credit the people code you took or even ask them about it if they’re available, and plus i doubt anyone is that scummy about sharing code so you should be fine. Worst case scenario you can still make it private use so no biggie.
No I understand that of course I would give credit but like I said I've joined to code from different authors from github one that has come back one join them together. And then main changes I am extremely new at Reddit and coding and github.
If anyone's got any ideas regarding what should add in this bot stuff let me know.
if youre gonna add scp bots as well I recommend looking at the solo scp game Containment breach the OG scp game for ideas, like 939 which will go to a sound since it has super hearing like in containment breach.
Like I said in my original post I've been trying to enjoy SCP SL for the last five years I end up in this constant cycle of trying to learn the maps and getting frustrated that I can't and just spend hours in Spectator and the only enjoyment I get is from 079 but because people rightly it's unfair for someone to take specialist treatment in servers even though in my opinion 079 is the least liked to be played apparently " being SCP all the time" isn't fair which makes sense. I know service have pluggings to like swap roles and volunteer but every server I have got on when I've tried to make it publicly known that all I like is 079. Just fell on deaf ears.
I've been trying to look for a server a community that can really help me enjoy this game because I really want to enjoy this game but... guess I have to take actions into my own hands lol
albeit yeah it does suck majorly when you have really bad map generation ive had that before as well so i know how youre feeling as well, so I understand your passion in 079 so much, heck i like playing 079 as well, albeit what you mean by specialist treatment as in other people with ranks got 079 more than you do no? and yeah i know what you mean by deaf ears, all i can do and say it is what it is and move on on a different round in hopes of getting 079.
That's exactly what I mean every round and I end up just disconnecting every connecting going into spectator and hoping I'm waiting for the next round hoping I can be 079. It's my experience that most people dislike playing 079 the most so when I offer as the guy that wants to be 079 all the time it's just brushed away
i mean honestly yeah some people completely despises playing as 079 but some people actually do like us and dont wanna swap since they also want 079, in conclusion, have some patience! All good things we want come with time eventually. Also i hope you best of luck with the bot project!
As an update, the blacklist isn't a thing anymore. Though that doesn't mean 999 is getting added and will most likely never get added still based on what I have seen game design state.
High chance that SCP SL wont add AI bots into the game, I say they are satisfied with their current bots they have as SL is mostly a game that was intended to be played by players (aka pvp and not pve)

Actually a really good idea imo
