How about make a flag called "+FOLLOWCOMMANDS" for monsters? It should work in the monsters with +FRIENDLY. This new flag would allow the monsters to obey these commands:
C_SearchForMonsters -> When activated (this command and all the others could be binded), the monsters will search for enemies;
C_Follow -> The monsters will search for the Player, then they will follow him;
C_SearchAndFollow -> The monsters will follow the player, until they find monsters; when they finished killing the monsters, they will back to follow the player;
C_Free -> Set the monsters free for go to any direction, independent for the player;
And also if a flag called "+LIKEPLAYER" could be added, to make the monster take items and guns, just like the player. If this second tag could be set, there won't be need of bots because you can make your own custom bots! And also with the tag bellow (+FOLLOWCOMMANDS), they will be bots that follow the player desire!!!!
Saying the thing I always say now: I don't know if this would take a lot of coding, but certainly is a great idea! Just tell here what you think...
Monster commanded by letters

I haven't really fooled around with scripting much, so I'm not completely certain, but I think all of these things could already be done without any changes whatsoever to ZDoom itself.
