Bug #7391

Survivor hitbox change causing pathing issues for bots

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	Anonymous on September 20, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.1.2
Actual Result:	Survivor bot is attempting to follow a non-existant path to another survivor that needs assistance
Expected Result:	Survivor bot can find a path to another survivor who needs assistance if it exists.
Severity:	Minor
Reproducibility:	Sometimes
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Not set

Steps to Reproduce

1. Get trapped or stand still while injured in a tight space (next to walls, objects, other survivors)
2. Have a survivor bot nearby approach to free you from the trap or heal you
3. Sometimes they will choose the wrong path and end up stuck in a running animation right next to you

Explanation

It seems there was a change to how survivor hitbox works when survivor is trapped or is being healed and it is breaking the pathing of bots making them run in place next to the survivor they are supposed to be freeing or healing.
You can also observe the change when you unhook a survivor and you "clip" into their hitbox. It used to be that healing interaction would be available to you if there was enough space around you, but now you need to move around until you find a spot next to them where interaction becomes available.
