Attack On Response None Off Response None Parameters

Drop_Point_Marker

Drop_Point_Marker This is a special type of Event which doesn’t respond to On or Off messages. This Event is used as a position where AI will drop off objects while in AI_COLLECTING_MODE. This is how Grabber robots can drop their rocks off at a specific location. On Response None Off Response None Parameters

Parameters Waypoint List: Name of the waypoint list that the AI should follow. Always Face Player: If true, the AI will always face the player while following their waypoints Max Speed Scale (0-100): Used to make the AI move slower while following waypoints Follow Method: This determines how the AI will behave when the last waypoint node is reached. The choices are: 1. One way: follow the waypoints to the last node and stop. 2. Loop: follow the waypoints to the last node, then return to the start and repeat 3. Ping Pong: follow the waypoints to the last node, then follow the nodes back to the start (repeat).

Switch This Event behaves like a switch that remembers it’s state (on or off). This Event can be used to turn lights on or off, and can be used to let the player activate special events. If the Event is linked to a VFX, this VFX is used as the model for the switch (the default state of the VFX should be off, with the animation taking the VFX to the on state). On Response Toggle the state of the switch. The behavior of the switch is controlled through the Event parameters.
