Overview

BotVision is a Metamod:Source plugin for Counter-Strike 2 servers that fixes bot line-of-sight through volumetric smoke.

BotVision evaluates smoke density, HE blast holes, and bullet holes before deciding whether a bot can see a target.

---

Console commands

• bv_status - print hook, smoke, HE, and bullet-tunnel diagnostics.
• bv_smoke_mode <0|1> - 0 uses volumetric smoke; 1 uses the stock ball-smoke calculation.
• bv_density_threshold <d> - set the global smoke-density blocking threshold (default 0.3).
• bv_bot_density [<slot> <d>] - list, query, or set a per-bot density threshold; a negative value restores the global threshold.
• bv_test_los <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> - query smoke density along a segment.
• bv_bullet_holes <0|1> - enable or disable bullet smoke tunnels.

Through-smoke reveal

Slots range from 0 to 63.

bv_reveal add 10
bv_reveal add 11
bv_reveal list
bv_reveal remove 10
bv_reveal clear

• add <slot> - reveal a player to bots through smoke.
• remove <slot> - remove one player from the reveal set.
