player.CreateNextBot#518017
<function name="CreateNextBot" parent="player" type="libraryfunc">
<description>
Similar to the serverside command "bot", this function creates a new Player bot with the given name. This bot will not obey to the usual "bot_*" commands, and it's the same bot base used in TF2 and CS:S.
The best way to control the behaviour of a Player bot right now is to use the <page>GM:StartCommand</page> hook and modify its input serverside.
<note>Despite this Player being fake, it has to be removed from the server by using <page>Player:Kick</page> and **NOT** <page>Entity:Remove</page>.
Also keep in mind that these bots still use player slots, so you won't be able to spawn them in singleplayer!</note>
<note>Any Bot created using this method will be considered UnAuthed by Garry's Mod</note>
