Cease acting busy.
  • ForceNPCToActBusy <Targetname> <hint node targetname> <optional:teleport> <optional:$customactivityorsequence> <maximum time to actbusy>
Force an NPC to act busy. If no hint node targetname is specified, it'll search for a random one. If no max time is specified, it'll use the default. Specifying 0 as the max time will make the NPC act busy until disturbed. If the optional teleport parameter is specified, the NPC will teleport to the act busy point. A custom move animation can be specified by prepending $ to the name of it. i.e. $ACT_RUN will make the NPC Run. Sequence names can be used instead of activities.

Force an NPC outputted from another entity to act busy. Only usable from an output that specifies an entity.
  • ForceThisNPCToLeave <string>
Force an NPC outputted from another entity to find a HINT_NPC_EXIT_POINT hintnode and vanish.
  • SetBusySearchRange <float>
Update the busy search range for all actors.

  • OnNPCLeft <string>
Fired when an NPC target by this goal finishes a forced Leave.
  • OnNPCStartedBusy <string>
