Template:Hl2 point It specifies a point used to rally NPCs for assault behavior. Used with either an ai_goal_assault or the Assaultinput available on some NPCs. All assaults begin at an assault_rallypoint. NPCs move to these points when cued for an assault, optionally waiting here, before commencing the assault by heading to an assault_assaultpoint.
Note:This entity is also in the code for . Its functionality is not guaranteed.
In code, it is represented by theCRallyPointclass, defined in theai_behavior_assault.cppfile.
Limitations and bugs
- A rallypoint can only serve one NPC per assault. If multiple NPCs are required to assault at the same time, each needs their own rallypoint. There may be a solution to this but it is not yet documented. Use of wildcards can make the assignment of individual NPCs to individual rallypoints easier.
- NPCs will always turn to face in the direction the entity is set to when arriving at a rally point. This is might look unnatural in some cases.
Keyvalues
- Priority (priority) ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>
- How appealing the rallypoint will be. When an NPC receives the
Assaultinput, it will select a suitable rallypoint from those available to it, preferring the one with the highest Priority value. If the Priority is the same between any rallypoints, the closest one will be chosen.
- Assault Point (assaultpoint) ([todo internal name (i)]) <targetname>
- The first assault_assaultpoint in the chain to move to as the assault begins.
- Assault Delay (assaultdelay) ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>
- The amount of time to wait here once the assault cue has been given, before moving to the first assault_assaultpoint.
- Rally Sequence (rallysequence) ([todo internal name (i)]) <string>
- Set a specific animation sequence for NPCs waiting to begin the assault, overriding the wait activity of the NPC.
- Force Crouch (forcecrouch) ([todo internal name (i)]) <boolean>
- NPCs using this assault point are forced into crouching while holding it.
- Urgent (urgent) ([todo internal name (i)]) <boolean>
- If set, NPCs will consider movement to this rally point as Urgent Navigation (ignoring prop_physics blockers, eventually teleporting).
