Making a bot declare it is not destroyed is not the best of solutions since it's impossible for a bot to state otherwise. After all it cannot send any information if it's no longer operational.

A much more elegant solution would be to have other bots check for it being functional.

Code:

object botURchecking; // declaring variable
botURchecking = radar(BotCategory, 0,360,0,1000,FilterFriendly); // looking for a friendly bot
if (botURchecking != null) // checking if it exists

If you'd like to share information between multiple bots you'll have to use a class. I'd recommend checking information available in the sat-COM and playing through the exercises available in-game.
The botURchecking variable can also be shared through a class.


As a general tip I'd like point out that most bot battles resemble a race where players attempt to attack as soon as possible while the opponent is still defenceless. There rarely is enough time to get any bots out except the starting WheeledGrabber.
