Make the bot in tf_newbots spawn instantly?

Hey guys, I like to warm up by playing some tr_newbots against a scout bot.
I usually turn or infinite health and ammo so you can shoot the bot forever.
But I thought it would be nice to be able to actually kill the bot, because then I could see how long it takes me to kill it every time plus if you can just shoot forever and there's not even tiny breaks it gets kinda exhausting pretty fast.
The problem with that is, if I don't enable infinite health on the bot and kill him, it takes like 5 seconds before he respawns again, which is definitely too long for efficient practice.

So my question is: is there a way to make the bot respawn instantly after you kill it, or at least really fast, with console commands or something?

Another problem I have with tr_newbots is that when I change some settings like when I play tr_walkway before those settings get transferred over to tr_newbots and make the map not work like it should.
For example there will be more than one bot, the bot(s) dont behave normally, won't change class when I shoot the class icons on the wall etc.
I guess that has to do with some server and bot commands that automatically get loaded when I play on other maps and tr_newbot doesn't seem to automatically change them back to what they need to be for the map when I load it.
But I don't really always know which commands changed and which command are needed for tr_newbots.
So I'm wondering if someone who knows all the relevant commands could maybe give me a list of commands I could but in a .cfg file and execute it every time I want to play newbots?

They don't spawn at all for me. I do have sv_allow_point_servercommand set to always. Can anyone help?

Already tried that, but it still takes a couple seconds before they spawn.

What I use now as a band-aid fix is I bind
"tf_bot_kick all; tf_bot_add red"
to a key and then always press that key after I killed the bot.
Makes the bot appear instantly without any delay.

you reload the server by changing the map again

also did you change sv_allow_point_servercommand always in the server or in your client

serveme? just so you know, you don't have to rent a server for newbots. simply just make a new server and you're good, unless there's something i'm missing here.

to add on to this you can just make a local server and type retry a couple of times, every time you rejoin the server it'll spawn another bot

also if you don't want you aim to get knocked up and don't like the health regen sound you can just do sv_cheats 1 and addcond 51, it'll give you an ubered effect but without the annoying screen color change you normally get.
