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.
