How to make bots place Nest

[Nikolay0525]

I saw another issue with same theme but in my case i`m too dumb to understand how to make bots to place nests, but i have some kind of alghorithm:

1. After random bot die with random reason he will look for prop on map called "prop_creepernest", if there is none bot switch to "Flash Creeper" class
2. He will go to target like player and checks every second units to player.
3. If player is near and not too near, just in right spot, he will kill himself and like that, place a nest where bots should spawn

That's all based on this block of code that SeekerTheTruth posted year ago:
flesh_creeper.lua
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
if SERVER then
function CLASS:OnKilled(pl, attacker, inflictor, suicide, headshot, dmginfo)

	local CheckDist = false
	for _, pl in pairs(team.GetPlayers(TEAM_UNDEAD)) do -- check all z
		local b = pl:GetPos()	
			b1 = math.Round(b[1], 1) --x coordinat
			b2 = math.Round(b[2], 1) --y coordinat
			b3 = math.Round(b[3], 1) --z coordinat

		if pl:Team() == TEAM_UNDEAD and pl:GetZombieClassTable().Name == "Flesh Creeper" then --check for special class
			for _, sigs in pairs(ents.FindByClass("prop_obj_sigil")) do -- check for avaible sigils
				local c = sigs:GetPos()	
				c1 = math.Round(c[1], 1) --x coordinat
				c2 = math.Round(c[2], 1) --y coordinat
				c3 = math.Round(c[3], 1) --z coordinat
				local h1 = c1-b1 
				local h2 = c2-b2
				local h3 = c3-b3
				local dist2 = math.sqrt(h1*h1 + h2*h2 + h3*h3)	--final distance calculation
				
				if dist2 > 900 then --range condition
					CheckDist = true
				else
					CheckDist = false
				end					
			end
		end
	end

	local ent = pl:FakeDeath(pl:LookupSequence("Flip1"), self.ModelScale, math.Rand(0.45, 0.5))
	if ent:IsValid() then
		ent:SetMaterial("models/flesh")
	end

	if CheckDist == true then --section of code responsible for the appearance of the socket
		local CpNs = ent:GetPos(ent)
		local ent2 = ents.Create("prop_creepernest")
		if ent2:IsValid() then
			ent2:SetPos(CpNs)
			ent2:Spawn()
			ent2.OwnerUID = uid
			ent2:SetNestHealth(800 * math.random(0.6, 1)) --450
			ent2:SetNestBuilt(true)
		end
	end

	return true
end

end

If somebody has any solve or has any hints please let me know, thanks.

This section of code was written by me. It has lost its relevance. Spawning prop_creepernest should be done differently.

I found a more complex but stable option - spawn prop_creepernest at specified positions of the map. This is a script written in a separate lua file and connected via init.lua

The spawn function call can be more precisely controlled in init.lua

Point 1 is not feasible. There are about 50 classes of zombies in the mode. It will be necessary to write code for each.
Point 2 is similar to 1.
Point 3 - getting the bot to write the "kill" command at the right time and place is a difficult task.
