Interesting idea, I'll have to give it a try. Now another idea-since the scripts have to do strictly with objects, would it be possible to make a script where windows would block rain? That way I could use some of sluggs domes in a rough weather mission.

I think that's another engine thing. Only solid terrain brushes block precipitation.

Yes, rain isn't an object.

A 'get out of the way' script would be useful. When two AI are walking in opposite directions and they meet at a doorway, it looks silly when they just walk into each other until one of them gets pushed out of the way. Especially is one's a servant and the other's a nobleman.
One the AI, some parameters could refer to a second AI, an object (e.g. a marker), and maybe a time.
When the AI gets within X feet of the other AI, it goes the object, faces the other AI, and waits for the specified time.
If the script had multiple copies, the designer could account for more than one bottleneck.

Couldn't you do that with AIWatchObj links?
R Soul on 8/2/2010 at 20:21
Yes, but whether it's a script or an AIWatchObj link, it's just occurred to me that if the two AI approached each other in a wide hallway, one of them would still try to go the object.
Using links, the AI could watch the other AI and a door, frobbing a button for each. Those buttons would be linked to RevertTraps, linked to a RAT, linked to a conv which makes the first AI go to the nearest instance of a certain archetype. So it would only happen in close proximity to the door. Now that could be tidied up with a script :cheeky:
In my case it's nothing urgent. An idea rather than a request.

Or you could just make wider doorways. :devil:
Just kidding.

Well you do have a point. There's something to be said about setting up the layout and patrol routes so that those collisions don't happen.

pinch candle, would be nice if it was easy to set up, frob the candle, it goes off, stays off.
