AI NavGoal t: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 05:48, 12 April 2008

The AI_NavGoal_t structure is used to encapsulate a navigation request. It has five constructors, which accept varying destination parameters:

Alongside the parameters in the list above:

Activity activity: The activity to use when moving. Overwritten by all of Valve's stock movement tasks except TASK_SCRIPT_CUSTOM_MOVE_TO_TARGET, so not useful unless you're using either that task or one of your own making.
Activity arrivalActivity
int arrivalSequence: The activity or sequence to play on arriving at the goal. Will be blended with the NPC's idle animation in Valve's stock movement tasks.
float tolerance: If the NPC is fewer units from the target than this value, it will stop instead of trying to negotiate obstacles. Useful for targets within entities that cannot be directly reached - e.g. a collidable model's origin.
AI_NavGoalFlags_t flags: Movement flags - click link for detail.
CBaseEntity* pTarget: "The target of the navigation, primarily used to ignore the entity in hull and line traces".
float maxInitialSimplificationDist: How far to simplify the path. Game default sets the minimum.; Todo: What is simplification?
