AssaultPath

UT2003 :: Actor >> NavigationPoint >> AssaultPath (Package: UnrealGame)

This actor is used in Bot Pathing to specify alternate routes for attackers in team games. Bots are attacking a GameObjective, and AssaultPath actors are used to give them different routes towards it.

Properties

AssaultPath Group

bool bEnabled

if false, this AssaultPath is no longer active: bots will ignore it (and presumably treat it as a dumb NavigationPoint). Trigger this actor to toggle this variable.

bool bNoGrouping

By default, bots will wait at this point to reform squads. Set to true to prevent this behaviour.

bool bNoReturn

By default, bots will use this path on the return from the objective. Set to true to prevent this behaviour.

bool bReturnOnly

This path must only be used for return from the objective.

name ObjectiveTag

Match this to the Event → Tag of the objective the bots are attacking

name PathTag[4]

The name of the route through this AssaultPath. More than one route can go through a given AssaultPath, and a route can involve several AssaultPath actors.

int Position

specifies relative position in a chain of AssaultPaths with the same PathTag and the same ObjectiveTag. Low numbers are furthest from the objective. In other words, bots travel along an increasing sequence of numbers (0,1,2,...) to attack the enemy, and decreasing to return home.

float Priority

0 to 1, higher means heavier weighting when determining whether to use this path

Hidden

GameObjective AssociatedObjective

The GameObjective this AssaultPath has been associated with through the ObjectiveTag property.
