POINT scripted_sequence
Grabs an NPC and makes them play a specified set of animations. The NPC can be told to move to the scripted sequence position or can be told to play the script wherever they currently are. Multiple scripted sequences of the same name will frame-synchronize in the action animation once all the actors have moved to position. This allows tight interaction between actors (one actor grabbing another, hitting them, etc.) The flow is as follows:
Move to position using the specified movement animation. If 'Move to Position' is set to NONE, skip to step 2.
If forced to wait for another actor to move to position, play the pre-action idle animation, otherwise skip to step 3. If there is no pre-action idle specified, ACT_IDLE is used.
Fire the OnBeginSequence output.
Play the action animation. If no action animation is specified, skip to step 5.
Play the post-action idle animation. If none is specified, skip to step 6. If the 'Loop in Post Idle' spawnflag is set, keep playing the post-action idle until the script is cancelled. If no post-action idle animation is specified, ACT_IDLE is used.
Fire the OnEndSequence output.
If a next script to play is specified, hand the NPC to the next script and repeat this process for that script.
The MoveToPosition input runs steps 1 and 2, then waits while playing the pre-action idle animation until the BeginSequence input is received.
If the sequence has motion extraction in it, set the 'Don't Teleport NPC On End' spawnflag.
KeyValues
Target NPC <target_destination>
The name or class name (such as 'npc_zombie') of an NPC to use for this script.
Pre Action Idle Animation <string>
The name of the sequence (such as 'idle01') or activity (such as 'ACT_IDLE') to play before the action animation if the NPC must wait for the script to be triggered. Use 'Start on Spawn' flag or MoveToPosition input to play this idle animation.
Entry Animation <string>
The name of the sequence (such as 'reload02') or activity (such as 'ACT_RELOAD') to play when the sequence starts, before transitioning to play the main action sequence.
Action Animation <string>
The name of the main sequence (such as 'reload02') or activity (such as 'ACT_RELOAD') to play.
Post Action Idle Animation <string>
The name of the sequence (such as 'idle01') or activity (such as 'ACT_IDLE') to play after the action animation. If the ''Loop in Post Idle'' spawnflag is not ticked, this will act as an Exit Animation, similar to the Entry Animation.
Custom Move Animation <string>
Used in conjunction with the 'Custom movement' setting for the 'Move to Position' property, specifies the sequence (such as 'crouch_run01') or activity (such as 'ACT_RUN') to use while moving to the scripted position.
Loop Action Animation? <boolean> = No
Loops the action animation until the sequence is cancelled or interrupted.
Synch Post Idles? <boolean> = No
No description provided.

Radius to search within for an NPC to use. 0 searches everywhere.
Repeat Rate ms <integer> = 0

Inputs

MoveToPosition <void>
Summons an NPC to the script location. They will play their scripted idle (or ACT_IDLE if none is specified) until BeginSequence is triggered.
