GMod - What can the bots do, and can I 'teach' them?
Recently I found a strange console command in GMod:bot
After reading the help menu for it, I tried it out, and it indeed did create a bot. The bot mostly runs around, doing nothing.
I found some other console commands of interest:
bot_attack
bot_crouch
bot_mimic
bot_zombie
So I was wondering: What can the GMod bots do, can I teach them to do other things, and why are they included if they just sit around?

How do you play GMOD with bots?
While in a game that you created, open the console and type "sv_cheats 1"; hit "Enter." This will allow the use of more commands typically not enabled. Open the console again and type "bot"; this will spawn a bot that will just stand in place. You can spawn as many bots as you want if space is allowed.What are next bots in GMOD?
