- By default this code has no cooldowns for abilities. If you want to use this setting I recommend setting under 'Heroes -> General -> Ability Cooldown Time' to 100% so that your cooldown timers will be similar to an actual game.
- Also note that Echo's flight and Doomfist's slam are set to 10% by default because of a weird interaction when canceling these abilties with 0% cooldowns. If practicing these heroes go to 'Heroes -> Doomfist / Echo-> Seismic Slam Cooldown Time / Flight Cooldown Time' and set them to 100%

Bot Strafe Pattern Explaination
| Setting |
Description |
| Random |
Randomly cycles between the next 4 options. |
| Seita |
A recreation of the movement seen in vaxta, adapted to work with custom spawn points. |
| Seita w/ long strafes |
The same as above, but every time the bots swap strafe directions there is a 20% chance that the bots strafe for longer than the difficulty setting assigned. The idea is to mess with your ability to predict when the bot is going to swap strafe directions. |
| AD Strafes |
Classic ADAD spam. Ignores the boundaries of the spawn radius after the bot is spawned. |
| Custom Distance |
Similar to Seita's Pathing, except bots will simply input 1 of the 8 possible strafe directions on keyboard. Allows you to set a minimum and maximum range for bots to path between. Ignores the boundaries of the spawn radius after the bot is spawned. |
| Fixed Shapes |
Bots will path between a number of points on a circle. Allows you to set the number of points up to 100. Use spawn radius to change the size of the shape. |
| No Movement |
Bots don't move. They will still jump, crouch and use abilities if enabled. |
| Forward AD Strafes |
Bots AD strafe towards a player. I don't recommend this setting for general practice but the code for it is used for certain bot abilities so I thought I might as well leave it as an option if someone might have a specific senario they want to practice. Ignores the boundaries of the spawn radius after the bot is spawned. |
| Forward Movement |
Same as above, except the bots just press W key. |
