Rule
A rule consists of one or more criteria and a response. The final score for a rule is the sum of all of the scores of its criteria.
rule <rulename> { criteria name1 [name2 name3 etc.] response responsegroupname [responsegroupname2 etc.] [matchonce] ; optional parameter [ <matchkey > <matchvalue> weight nnn required ] }
- matchonce (off by default): means that the rule is deactivated after the first time it is matched
Note:Additional "unnamed" criteria can be specified inline in the rule using the same syntax as for defining a criterion, except for the criterion keyword and the criterion name keys.
Here is a example from scripts/talker/npc_alyx.txt
.
rule AlyxTalkPlayerPushed { criteria IsAlyx ConceptTalkPlayerPushed SeenByPlayer NoRecentCombat response AlyxTalkPlayerPushed }
