Template:As brush Used to issue one or more orders to nearby aliens of a specified type.
Recommendations
- Useful for moving specific aliens to points in the level in one manner or another.
Note:This entity will remain inactive until triggered via an input, E.g an output received from another entity. - It can be used to force aliens to retreat, via the 'Alien Orders: (Move To)' property.
- Can be used to simulate alien intelligence or interesting behaviour. ex. Retreating or flanking behaviour when a marine activates a remote turret.
Keyvalues
Order Radius- The distance in units from the entity aliens of the specified class will receive orders, meaning that if there are aliens within the specified radius; they will receive orders, not those outside of it.
Alien Class- Which class type of alien to send orders to.
Alien Orders- Orders given to nearby aliens. This can be either of four choices: Spread and Hibernate, Move To (specific target), Move To Nearest Marine (being the closest to the ordered alien) and Move To Ignoring Marines.
Alien Orders Target Name- Name of the target object for our orders (used by the 'Move To').
Outputs
OnUser1 - 4- Fire the OnUser outputs; see User Inputs and Outputs.
Inputs
Send Orders- Triggers the entity and sends the specified orders. Can be refired infinitely.
OnUser1 - 4- Fired in response to the FireUser inputs; see User Inputs and Outputs.
Kill- Removes the entity permanently, which will stop any further orders from being sent. Disabling the recurring trigger would be recommended as opposed to removing the entity entirely, in the case of it being needed again later.
