I forgot I added avoidance penalties for areas where a bot died, so I made the threshold under which a bot got stuck in a location, allowing to minor penalty for death areas to be used as candidates if under the OnStuck threshold.

While preventing the bots from retreating when they are rushing for a cover area was okay for proving out #2000, it made the bots a bit suicidal when their chosen advancing cover was too exposed, so I think it's better to retreat when there's any incoming fire.

This also encourages more grenade throw attempts which is helpful for viewing the smoke and grenade avoidance behavior.

I decided that if for some reason the situation was bugged enough that we don't know the GetLastKnownArea of a bot, we shouldn't bother trying to search for GetNearestNavArea. GetNearestNavArea is a bit more expensive and, if the situation is glitched, might not even return an appropriate navarea.

if ( nearestArea )
{
CNEOBotPathReservations()->IncrementAreaAvoidPenalty( nearestArea->GetID(), neo_bot_path_reservation_killed_penalty.GetFloat() );
}
int areaId = navArea->GetID();
int teamId = me->GetTeamNumber();
CNEOBotPathReservations()->IncrementAreaAvoidPenalty( areaId, neo_bot_path_reservation_killed_penalty.GetFloat() );

// Discourage friendlies from stepping out into recent danger zone
// Use grenade fuse timer so that we don't need to compare expiration times with previous entries
// where the frag grenade timer is the usual time input into AddFragHazard
CNEOBotPathReservations()->AddDeadlyHazard(areaId, gpGlobals->curtime + sv_neo_grenade_fuse_timer.GetFloat(), teamId);
}
