Quest Alias LimitPath Finding Limitations

Post » Wed Apr 23, 2014 10:50 am

I am working on some behavior package that makes an NPC evacuate to a specific location outside of a cell. I have this package linked up to a quest so that I can pull a lever which starts the quest and causes everyone linked to the quest via a Quest Alias to go to that specific location

My question: Is there a limit to how many quest aliases you can have? Or: Do more quest aliases become less effective?

The reason I have to ask this is, when I have only two or three aliases, and I execute the quest, all three NPCs make it out of the building very quickly. However, when I increase this number of NPCs to around 10, and try the same exact thing, about two NPCs make it out of the room and the rest just stand around.

Is this a path-finding issue or a quest alias issue? please help!!!

try to make a stage script (or a simply script) which contains the evaluatepackage() on every aliased NPC. This may "force" all the NPC to use the package.

Would I attach this to the level that I pull to start the quest?

You should attach the script where you need that the NPCs have to evacuate (can be the start quest, I don't know your plans).

I'm still a little confused by this. I have a level that I pull that starts the quest. The quest simply adds the Evacuate package i made to every NPCs package stack. Where should this script go?

So add a stage in your quest and tick "start up stage". Create an empty entry log and add the script.

Doesn't seem to be working. I'm observing the same behavior. This is so frustrating. The first two or three NPCs will sprint to the door and make it out, but the rest will stand still until i like knock into them and make them move and stuff.
