Entity Description
Specifies a point used to rally NPCs for assault behaviour. Used with either an ai_goal_assault or the Assault input. 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.
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.
