AIController

UT2003 :: Actor >> Controller >> AIController

This is the parent class of all AI-based controllers.

Properties

bool bHunting: This is true if the controlled pawn is hunting another pawn.
bool bAdjustFromWalls: auto-adjust around corners, with no hitwall notification for controller or pawn (???)
AIScript MyScript: If this AIController is based on a script, the script is in this variable.
float Skill: The skill of the AI. Generally, from 0 to 7.

Functions

native final latent function WaitToSeeEnemy(): returns when the pawn is looking directly at a visible enemy.
function bool WeaponFireAgain(float RefireRate, bool bFinishedFire): called by Weapon. Returns true if the weapon should fire.
function bool TriggerScript(actor Other, pawn EventInstigator): Any trigger is sent to this function, which in turn triggers MyScript if it exists.
function DisplayDebug(Canvas Canvas, out float YL, out float YPos): If the "showdebug" console command is on, this is called to display debug information on the screen.
function float AdjustDesireFor(Pickup P): In subclasses, returns a float indicating how much the AI wants the Pickup P. In this class, it always returns 0.
function int GetFacingDirection(): returns direction faced relative to movement dir, where 0 = forward, 16384 = right, 32768 = back, and 49152 = left
function AdjustView(float DeltaTime): called if Controller's pawn is the viewtarget of a player
function SetOrders(name NewOrders, Controller OrderGiver), function actor GetOrderObject(), function name GetOrders(): In subclasses, sets and gets info about the AI's orders, but in this class they don't do anything.
event PrepareForMove(NavigationPoint Goal, ReachSpec Path): Called if the reachspec doesn't support the pawn's current configuration. The code should tell the pawn what to do to deal with it (e.g. crouch). It's implemented in subclasses; here it doesn't do anything.
function WaitForMover(Mover M): Sets up the AI to wait for Mover M to tell the AI that it has completed its move. Sets PendingMover.
function MoverFinished(): Called by Mover when it finishes a move, and this pawn has the mover set as its PendingMover.
function UnderLift(Mover M): called by mover when it hits a pawn with that mover as its pendingmover while moving to its destination.
function bool PriorityObjective(): This always returns false here.
function Startle(Actor A): "Startles" the AI. Basically, this is a message to the AI to stop everything and re-evaluate its situation as soon as possible. Something calls this when the AI absolutely needs to know about it RIGHT NOW.
