CAI_NetworkManager defined in ai_networkmanager.cpp
|
It is a vital entity to all NPC and AI functions that is created every map load. If you were to Kill it in the game, NPCs would freeze up entirely - no speech, no animations, no movement. Killing would also render all ai_ console commands unusable.
It is referred to as BigNet by the engine. Valve at one point intended to expand on this entity by making multiple of these work together in maps.
Note:This is a preserved entity in 
.
- On a new round, its properties including its position will intentionally not reset. You can use logic_auto to emulate resetting it.
- Killing it removes it forever, as it is not respawned on a new round.
- It cannot be spawned with a point_template.
- Parenting this with non preserved entities may have undesirable effects.
ai_network has no way of resetting itself outside of the standard CBaseEntity/CPointEntity capabilities.
