CS AI sit down help

[deutschfd]

Hi Im a very amateur modder and i am having some trouble with the AI in the construction set. I cant figure out how to make a package that allows my custom NPC's to sit in a non-specific chair (i.e. just any nearby chair, not one i havent selected in the render window) for an infinate length of time (i.e. they sit there permanently). Any help would be great

Double click the NPC in your object window, click on the AI button, right click under AI package list and select new, leave the time and day any (so it will always run) and then go up to the top right of your new window and select find for the package type. Then click on the target tab, check any object, and now you can either select furniture under object type (so the NPC will use anything from chairs to benches to stools) or you can select a specific chair from the editor and the NPC will sit in any of those chairs (for example, if you select LCChair02R, then the NPC will attemp to find any chairs that use that base and sit in them.)

If the NPC is going to sit in a chair eternally, it might be better for you to select which chair rather than have it be random. (The NPC might hog up a chair that is important to someone else.) You might want to change it so they have some other AI packages so that they will get to take a break from sitting and come back to a random chair.
