@NoNameNoWorries
7 ай бұрын
The map has no AI nodes; in order for the AI to drive, they need a path to follow and some mod creators don't take the time to add AI nodes because it can be a lengthy process. Usually they'll say in the mod description if the map has AI nodes or not. Hopefully that helped :)
