|---|---|
| Used on | |
| Code | npc:SetLastPosition( util.QuickTrace( plyobj:GetShootPos(), plyobj:GetAimVector()*1000 ).HitPos + Vector( 0, 0, 40 ) ); npc:SetSchedule( SCHED_FORCED_GO ) -- run move |
| Output | Causes the NPC to run towards the hit position of the player gun shot (aim trace) having info_node entities helps the NPCs navigate so they can travel far distances |
Additional Notes
- When info_node's are placed in a map, the NPCs can travel where ever there are info_node's, these nodes create a navigation mesh that allows the NPCs to move around walls and obstacles, without this mesh, the NPCs can travel short distances, around 200 to 300 units in size.
- This position set with the command is similar to the NPC's origin position where a NPC will try to return to this position unless specified otherwise by its AI or another entity.
