STUPID CITIZENS! Created 18 years ago2005-06-25 07:21:32 UTC by Archie

All i want is for him to sit! but will he?! NO! ARGH!!!

Basically, i have a chair. I have an NPC_citzen.

i want the citizen to be sitting, and undisturbable.
Why is this so hard?!

Any help?

scripted_sequence?

Uhh yeah Hunter they don't sit on their own....

so.. how do i go about scripting?

There's actually an interesting way to do it with a logic_collision_pair, ai_goal_actbusy, your physics item chair and table, and an info_node_hint.

For this example, name the table "table" and the chair "chair". The NPC will be named "billy".

For logic_collision_pair 1, attachment 1 is "table" and 2 is "billy". Start with Collisions Disabled, "Yes".

For logic_collision_pair 2, attachment 1 is "chair" and 2 is "billy". Start with Collisions Disabled, "Yes".

The info_node_hint should be of the World: Act Busy type and the sequence to play in the "Hint Activity" box.

The ai_goal_actbusy should affect "billy" (Search by entity name, not classname).

All you need to do now, is use a trigger or logic_auto to give an OnTrigger or OnMapSpawn with a ForceNPCtoActBusy input.

You're done!

ok. that worked perfectly! thanks v much, but i also have a map where u start in a big Apache (think opp4 intro) and i want a bunch of citzens to be sitting on a bench_type thing that i dont want to be a func_phsbox... do i make it a func_wall?

func_brush is fine, func_wall is actually the same but there for HL1 support.

Uhh yeah Hunter they don't sit on their own....
