Declaration

The first step to creating an interaction for your NPC is to create a name for it and add it to the "Interactions" section as well as adding it to src\dlls\hl2_dll\AI_Interactions.h. Here's an example name for an activity: g_interactionVortigauntKick.

Once the activity is added, you must use the DECLARE_INTERACTION macro in the AI_BEGIN_CUSTOM_NPC section.

Here's an example of the DECLARE_INTERACTION code: 

DECLARE_INTERACTION( g_interactionExample )
