The barks are all commented out, but no indication of why or who did it. I thought this would just be a 10-minute fix to turn the barks back on. Silly me ... Which lights are AI supposed to be able to turn on? In the case where you didn't hear a bark, did the AI turn the light back on? If so, what type of light was it? What I'm reading in the code is that the only lights that can be turned back on are the ones that have a light type of AIUSE_LIGHTTYPE_TORCH. No torch entities or torch flames have this spawnarg. The only light that does is a "color_me" light. (EDIT: torches that can be carried by AI are marked AIUSE_LIGHTTYPE_TORCH) There's an AI spawnarg "canOperateSwitchLights" and there's code to recognize whether a light is switchable (i.e. gas or electric), but there's no code to actually turn the light back on. Only AIUSE_LIGHTTYPE_TORCH torches. Perhaps this hasn't been written yet? |

The AI has to be set to be able to light torches (I think it's on by default) and the light has to be set to ShouldBeOn. It definitely did work in Sons of Baltona at one point--1.01 or so, as I distinctly recall the AI relighting torches in the outside area. The code for turning on electric switches isn't there yet, as far as I know. However, I believe AI should be able to at least *comment* on electric lights being out, even though they can't relight them yet. The barks for commenting on lights that are out are really separate from the issue of actually relighting lights (which has its own barks). |

I'll check the outside torches in Sons of Baltona tomorrow and try putting some out. At the moment I think my problem is that only certain types of torches can be commented on and relit, and I have to figure out which those are. I would think that the "ShouldBeOn" and "CanLightTorches" spawnargs would be all you need, but apparently not. I placed a switchable electric light in my test map and had to add the "ShouldBeOn" flag, but the code ignores it. I'll have to find electric light entities that can use the flag. Both the comment barks and the "I've relit a torch/light" barks were commented out. Don't know why. They're back now, but I have to check to be sure the right comment barks are being played. Can't get to the "I've relit..." barks until I can get an AI to relight something. |

It looks like the comment barks were commented out over three years ago, with the comment that "it's getting annoying hearing these again and again". That comment disappeared soon after, but the barks were left off. Heh. I know the feeling. |

1. Added AIUSE_LIGHTTYPE_ELECTRIC in *.def files where needed. 2. Added STIM_VISUAL in *.def files where needed. 3. Corrected a few light definitions so they could be turned back on. 4. Added the ability to relight candles and electric lights. 5. Recognize the “shouldBeOn” flag when it’s on the parent or grandparent of a light, and not on the light itself. 6. AI can now “see” candle and torch flames that are embedded in func_statics. (Think of a candle flame in a candle model in a candle holder.) 7. Added the ability for an AI to use a switch to relight switched lights. The AI doesn’t have to have a LOS to the switch for relighting. He’ll walk to the switch--even if it’s in another room or behind a door--and activate it to turn the light back on. If there is more than one switch that could be used, the AI will pick the closest. 8. Slightly increased the distance an AI keeps between itself and a light (or switch) when relighting, to reduce knocking over relit candles when turning away while carrying a torch. 9. Added code to use the “noimpact” spawnarg on switches, to keep AI from bumping a switch after using it to relight a light. This was turning the light back off, causing the AI to use the switch twice. 10. Uncommented existing barks. 11. Reordered the visual stim handling code, allowing for early exit when the chance of noticing a stim is zero. The code was checking a variety of things, including the ability to see the stim, which involved expensive traces, before checking the “chance” setting. 12. Also reordered the code so that lights that were on no longer bothered to check LOS to an AI, which can be attempted through walls. The AI wasn’t going to pay attention anyway, so why bother with LOS traces? 13. Added a frame command so that lights would be turned on in sync with the different animations. 14. Rewrote the SwitchOnLightState routines to add states for easier reading and maintenance. 15. Cleared alert weights when entering alert idle state, so that lower weighted alerts could be seen. 16. Fixed a problem where searching AI less than 100 from their goal would jerk forward tiny bits occasionally. 17. Added code support for Springheel’s new animations for dropping a torch, and relighting doused flames with a tinderbox or a torch. rev 4834: AlertIdleState.cpp FailedKnockoutState.cpp State.cpp State.h SwitchOnLightState.cpp SwitchOnLightState.h InvestigateSpotTask.cpp ai.cpp ai.h ai_events.cpp MovementSubsystem.cpp Memory.cpp Memory.h FrobButton.cpp FrobButton.h actor.cpp entity.cpp entity.h light.cpp light.h game_local.cpp rev 11876: tdm_lights_static_electric.def tdm_lights.def tdm_prop_items.def tdm_ai_guard_proguard_devel.def tdm_light_holders.script tdm_lights.script tdm_events.script tdm_ai_base.script |

Fourth round of changes: 1. Add a 5s delay to extinguishing a flame that's become non-vertical. 2. Change "will relight" bark to 50% "will relight" and 50% "found light out". 3. Extend _standOff when dealing with low moveable candles. 4. A dropped torch should NOT cause a propagated sound. 5. Delay the initial bark by 2s ("found" or "relighting"). 6. Keep "canLightTorches" and "canOperateSwitchLights" as booleans. - Set "chanceNoticeLight" high (0.9) to increase the odds that AI will say something. - Set "chanceOperateSwitchLights" a bit lower (0.7). - Set "chanceLightTorches" even lower (0.4), to reduce the odds of the player wasting inventory. 7. Let AI see a doused flame when the smoke starts, not when it ends. rev 4866: State.cpp SwitchOnLightState.cpp ResolveMovementBlockTask.cpp MovementSubsystem.cpp Response.cpp ai.cpp ai.h ai_events.cpp actor.cpp af.cpp entity.cpp entity.h light.cpp light.h moveable.cpp rev 11900: tdm_ai_humanoid.def tdm_lights.def tdm_moveable_candles.def tdm_moveable_weapons.def tdm_lights.script tdm_light_holders.script tdm_events.script |

Allow sitting AI to stand up, relight doused lights, and sit back down. 2. Add bark priority for new “suspicious” rampdown bark. 3. Fixed bug that was using an uninitialized variable. 4. Only allow "to idle mode" rampdown barks if AI was searching. 5. When one AI encounters another AI, and the other is searching, the other will bark about seeing evidence of intruders, or about being suspicious. The arriving AI will inherit the search characteristics of the searching AI if not already engaged in his own, more important search. 6. Fixed a typo in a sound shader name (“snd_alert3sc” was “snd_alert3cs”). 7. Fixed a bug in the hiding spot finder code that wasn’t checking for true intersection of one idBounds with another. With the bug, hiding spots outside the AAS areas could be produced. 8. Reduced the vertical dimension of the lost enemy search (used for doused light searches also) to cut down on AI running away to far-flung reaches when they shouldn’t. rev 4870: AlertIdleState.cpp IdleState.cpp SearchingState.cpp State.cpp SwitchOnLightState.cpp SwitchOnLightState.h SingleBarkTask.cpp Memory.cpp Memory.h ai.h ai.cpp ObservantState.cpp SuspiciousState.cpp DarkmodAASHidingSpotFinder.cpp InvestigateSpotTask.cpp rev 11917: tdm_ai_vocal_set_base.def |

Eighth round of changes: An AI engaged in a conversation should ignore doused lights. Fix a bug that can occur when a light is right around the max allowed height. rev 4876: State.cpp SwitchOnLightState.cpp Ninth round of changes: Fixes a problem where an AI does two or more torch-dropping animations when his torch is doused near a “shouldBeOn 0” light that’s out. Found this in The Transaction. rev 4880: State.cpp ai.cpp ai.h ai_events.cpp |

Eleventh round of changes Hitting bindMaster of a light is as good as hitting the light itself. This was already in place, but by checking the origin of the bindMaster, which isn’t necessary. We just need to see what we hit on the trace and if that’s a bindMaster of the light. rev 5326: Actor.cpp |
