KnowsAbout command

[Ace Productions]

When using the KnowsAbout command you state the level at which the guard will react, ie:

_guard KnowsAbout _intruder > 0 where 0 is the level of awareness of the guard.

Is there any way via a script to obtain this level when the guard is alerted?

I'm not completely sure what you mean, but:

_knowl = _guard knowsAbout _intruder

I'll try to be more exact. The number at the end of the command:

ie _guard KnowsAbout _specops>0

defines the level of awareness of the guard, that is, at which point the guard will react.

If in  the editor I put one EAST soldier to guard and one WEST soldier to attack, is there anyway via a script or something, to know at which point the EAST soldier reacted i.e. at 2.22226?

?(( _guard  knowsAbout  _intruder)  > 2.22226): < reaction >

This means, the <reaction> code will run when the guard 'knows enough' of the intruder to 'satisfy' the knowsabout level 2.22226.


To obtain the level the guard has when getting alerted, will work like this:

- set behaviour of the guard to AWARE (this setbehaviour "AWARE")
- now loop a script or make a trigger that reacts to ?(behaviour _guard == "COMBAT"). Then see what the knowsabout command tells you ( _level = _guard knowsabout _intruder ).

Check the commented commands ref in the ed depot, under the 'knowsabout' command. There are some comments that may be of help. Toadlife claims the value you're looking for is like 0.015, but I think it is higher than that; perhaps 1.5

Thanks to all of you guys for your replies. I solve my problem by using:

_level=_guard KnowsAbout _intruder
Hint Format ["Level: %1",_level]

That way I can examine the different levels of knowsabout i.e. whwn the guard sees you or when he just hears a shot etc.
