When a bot detects a wrong connection it should remove it (learn)

[stefanhendriks]

It looks like when a bot walks a path and encounters a 'troubled' connection it won't forget (after too many retries) the connection. Although the logs seem to indicate it would forget it - it does'nt.

Examples

• cs_italy stairs going up to hostages
• as_oilrig ramps

Ideas

• use trace_hull when connecting nodes, instead of trace_line?

Example of troubled connection not working:

Still even with 'forgetGoal' and such being called (which should clear the path!) it keeps going to this node.

The logic has improved a bit, but not as much as I'd like. While working on this I broke bomb planting, hostage rescueing and bomb defusion.

Now those things seem to work fine again.

Playing in AS_OILRIG I noticed that bots are slow learners.

See this case:

A bit dark picture, but you can see 3 bots trying to get down. They don't duck and they are pretty close to each other.

Probably the canDuck function thinks it is not possible, due the bar being at a specific height? Perhaps this can piece should be removed and tried anyway when nothing else seems to work. Same goes for jumping. It could also be a combination of this and #22.

Regardless, the bots take their time removing connections and this takes too long.
