Activate
Begin acting busy. Begins ordering NPCs to actbusy.
Deactivate
Cease acting busy. Ends ordering NPCs to actbusy. They will remain busy until they decide/are ordered to move, at which point they will return to normal behavior.
ForceNPCToActBusy <string>
Format: <targetname> [hint node targetname] [teleport] [nearest] [$<custom activity or sequence>] [max time]
Force an NPC to act busy.
  • The targetname parameter specifies the name of the NPC(s).
  • The hint node targetname parameter specifies the name of the Hint node. Used to force an NPC to act busy on a specific node. If no hint node targetname is specified, it'll search for a random one.
  • If the teleport keyword is specified as a parameter, the NPC will teleport onto the actbusy node instead of navigating to it.
  • If the nearest keyword is specified as a parameter, the NPC will choose the nearest valid actbusy node, instead of choosing one randomly from all valid actbusy nodes.
  • The max time parameter specifies the maximum time to actbusy. If no max time is specified, it'll use the default. Specifying 0 as the max time will make the NPC(s) act busy until disturbed.
  • The $customactivityorsequence parameter specifies the name of a custom activity, prepended by a "$", that the NPC(s) will preform while navigating to the node, e.g. $ACT_RUN will make the NPC(s) run to the node. Sequence names can be used instead of activities.
ForceThisNPCToActBusy <targetname>
Force an specified NPC to act busy. If there are multiple NPCs with the same name, only one will be ordered.
ForceThisNPCToLeave <targetname>
Force an NPC to find an NPC exit point (HINT_NPC_EXIT_POINT hintnode) and vanish. Supports wildcards.
SetBusySearchRange <float>
Alters the Search Range for Busy Hints keyvalue for all actors.
