What does the addplayer do?

The one and only!
Well, I dunno. Haven't even tried playing with it.
Edit:
Okay, now I know what it does. It does... nothing. The Console Log says it's an unknown command.

A new update is released! A list of changes can be found in the v1.2 update entry.
(Ironically, neither of the two "TODO" items listed in the script were worked on, lol)
These are mostly small tweaks aimed at fixing various bugs and improving AI ability use. For example, Sonic and Knuckles can now use their abilities to attack targets:
The other notable change is that the singleplayer bot can now mimic your powerups and shields, allowing some of the unique shield behaviors to be seen in singleplayer:
As always, many thanks to anyone who's supported this - it's been a fun little project to work on!
It's worth noting that unless a major bug is found that needs a hotfix, this will likely be the last release for the immediate future. At some point, I'd like to rewrite this to better support other mods (characters etc.) or even other game modes (parts of this could be feasibly repurposed for a match bot!), but that would need some actual time set aside... :)
In the meantime - enjoy!
Edit: Also, regarding the "AddPlayer" bit:

Unfortunately, it looks like this didn't make the cut for 2.2.9 - the merge request for this (by CobaltBW btw, not me! Haha) is still open. Hopefully it gets included in a later version - if so, I'll update foxBot to support it. In the meantime, I'd definitely suggest BuddyEX as others have (I imagine you're already using it, but still worth mentioning - I think it's really neat!)

Kinda like that, yeah. It's like Sonic & Tails in singleplayer with two controllers.

Thanks for the report! A patch for this (and a few other issues that slipped under the radar) should be available this weekend.
A cooperative mod developed alongside foxBot: https://mb.srb2.org/addons/coop-or-die.2825/ (which should also be receiving a small update this weekend)

A new update is released! As before, please view the list of changes in the v1.3 update entry.
This is a relatively minor update that mostly fixes a few issues that fell through the cracks (such as the ring issue Modunlami reported above). It also improves Fang's combat AI, which should now be much more reliable and effective.
If you've never used the bot before, here's a quick video that showcases some of its unique behaviors:
Enjoy!

One more for the road! A very minor bugfix update - please see the v1.3.1 update entry or simply view below:
CloneFighter
Mediocre Lua scripter
ITS THE MOD HOW DO YOU ADD A BOT IN MIDGAME WHEN THE MOD IS ACTIVE?

O h .
It requires a second player to be the bot.
Launch a multiplayer server, and let a second instance connect to that server. (No need to portforward btw.) Then run on the second instance's console:
setbot 0 and it'll automatically be a bot with your main instance as the leader. You can add up to 31 bots, with 32 instances of the game.

Sorry for the late reply! Glad you got it figured out - if it's useful, there's also a simple launcher here that can help add multiple bots to a game: https://mb.srb2.org/threads/foxbot-exai-based-multiplayer-coop-bots.30044/post-529430
I'll update the original post with better information on how to actually use this.

Yet another update! Check out the v1.4 Update Entry for more details.
Among other things, this now includes support for CBW's Chaos Mode mod.
A number of other AI improvements are available as well, some of which can be seen below:
Thanks to anyone who joined the goofy test sessions for this update. Enjoy!
