Life Actions

Life actions are a wide range of actions that AI perform around the heist, each resulting in an animation.

Examples of life actions include:

  • A civilian thrown into the eye scanner bending down to scan their eyes

  • Guards or civilians sitting or walking idly during stealth heists

  • Holding a prop while idle (i.e., a phone)

  • Two civilians talking

Giving a life action

There are two ways to utilize life actions.

  • Place a BP_LA_* blueprint in the level and have a life action reference it (typically for movement).

  • Within the PawnSpawn, set the Action to SBZAIAction Life Action and set the gameplay effect class to the animation you want.

Patrols

  1. Spawn SBZPatrol Points around the level.

  2. Set the pawn spawn action to SBZAIAction Patrol.

  3. Set the Action order to SBZAIOrder Patrol, then set the Start point to the start of the patrol.

Inside each patrol point, you set what the next patrol point is via the patrol point components. If you want more points, simply add more components. In the root component you can control Whether it randomizes what point to go to, what animation to play at each point, and how long the person waits at the location.
