info_node_hint | A navigation node for ground moving NPCs that includes some context information for NPCs that are interested in it. The hint might indicate a window that could be looked out of, or an item of interest that could be commented on. Many hint nodes are NPC-specific, so it's helpful to use naming conventions like 'Crow: Fly to point' in the hint choices list.

It's important to understand the distinction between scripts, such as scripted_sequence and scripted_schedule, and info_hint entities. Scripts summon NPCs to specific cue points to play their parts, while hints provide context information to the AI that they use to perform their behaviors. Hints require code support in the NPC, while scripts are generic and may require only animations to play. Use a hint if the behavior is driven by the AI, use a script if the behavior is driven by the map. | |

Multiple scripted sequences of the same name (or sync group, if specified) will frame-synchronize in the action animation once all the actors have moved to position. This allows tight interaction between actors (one actor grabbing another, hitting them, etc.) The flow is as follows: 1) Move to position using the specified movement animation. If 'Move to Position' is set to NONE, skip to step 2. 2) If forced to wait for another actor to move to position, play the pre-action idle animation, otherwise skip to step 3. If there is no pre-action idle specified, ACT_IDLE is used. 3) Fire the OnBeginSequence output. 4) Play the action animation. If no action animation is specified, skip to step 5. 5) Play the post-action idle animation. If none is specified, skip to step 6. If the 'Loop in Post Idle' spawnflag is set, keep playing the post-action idle until the script is cancelled. If no post-action idle animation is specified, ACT_IDLE is used. 6) Fire the OnEndSequence output. 7) If a next script to play is specified, hand the NPC to the next script and repeat this process for that script. The MoveToPosition input runs steps 1 and 2, then waits while playing the pre-action idle animation until the BeginSequence input is received. If the sequence has motion extraction in it, set the 'Don't Teleport NPC On End' spawnflag. | |
