Entity Description

A path_corner_crash is synonymous to a path_corner

A path_corner is a destination for an NPC. When told to, NPCs will stop other movement and walk steadily towards a path_corner. It is entirely scripted behaviour.

Path_corners can be chained together to form more complex routes. To create a path_corner chain simply shift+drag an existing path_corner. The values will automatically be filled in. To manually make a chain (or link one up in a circle), edit the Next stop target property. Note that the Train Speed values are obsolete unless you are making a path for a func_train.

To make a NPC move to a path_corner edit the 'Target Path Corner' keyvalue, either in Hammer or through the I/O system. Alternately, an NPC can be made to follow a path_corner chain by using the aiscripted_schedule or scripted_sequence entities.

Limitations and bugs

• A path_corner (or the first path corner on a chain) must be within 576 units for NPCs to find it.

Example
