Ai speechfilter/en

From Valve Developer Community
Jump to: navigation, search

The entity allows to adjust how much an NPC will idle chatter to other NPC’s and the player. This is quite useful, especially if you have a script setup where idle chatter will seem out of place, or get in the way of a Face Poser scene. Speech patterns for NPCs are defined in Response System.


In code, it is represented by theCAI_SpeechFilterclass, defined in theai_speechfilter.cppfile.
