AutoPlacement event flows

Revision as of 12:54, 30 October 2018 by imported>Leoetlino (→‎TreeRate)

AutoPlacement event flows are used by the AutoPlacementMgr to determine whether actors should be dynamically spawned without having to hardcode special logic into the executable.

Such event flows are executed by the same event flow engine but with a different environment: only the "AutoPlacement" pseudo-actor is available for actions and queries, and subflows do not appear to be usable[check]. Actions and queries are not mapped to AI system functions as with regular event flows, but are entirely handled by the AutoPlacement code.

A single event flow can be used to handle conditions for several actors (for example, AutoPlacement_Animal handles auto placement logic for all animal actors) and may be called several times, each time with a different actor name, which the event flow can check with the #EcoAreaActorName query. An actor will only be dynamically spawned if CreateData (and NearCreate?[check]) is called.

TreeRate

Queries StatisticsMgr for the forest_density at the current position. Returns 1 if the specified rate is lower than or equal to the result, and 0 otherwise.

Parameter Type Description
Rate float Rate

PosHeight

WaterDepth

RouteDistance

Queries StatisticsMgr for the route distance at the current position. Returns 1 if the specified distance is lower than or equal to the query result, and 0 otherwise.

Parameter Type Description
Distance float Distance to compare against route distance

GrassHeight

WaterSurface

PlayerRideHorse

Returns 1 if the player is riding a horse, and 0 otherwise.

EcoAreaActorName

Returns 1 if the specified actor name matches the name of the actor for which the event flow is being executed.

Parameter Type Description
ActorName str Actor name

WaterSubMat

CheckGameData

Returns 1 if the specified boolean flag is true, and 0 otherwise.

Returns -1 if the GameDataMgr instance does not exist or if the Label parameter was not specified.

Parameter Type Description
Label str GameData boolean flag name

CheckPouchItemCount

CheckPouchItemCountFromActor

TimeType

Returns the WorldMgr's current time division. Analogous to AIDef:Query/CheckTimeType.

RailDistance

??? Involves PlacementMgr.

WaterDistance

Queries StatisticsMgr for the water distance at the current position. Returns 1 if the specified distance is lower than or equal to the result multiplied by 200.0, and 0 otherwise.

Parameter Type Description
Distance float Distance to compare against water distance
