This PR will be much easier to test with #1345, but with a 100 multiplier value, bots will recognize the easiest jump point near the fence area in dawn, and will avoid trying to jump onto the trailer in threadplate (unless the ghost spawns on it, where then the bots will path with jumps onto the trailer with no problem)
