SpatialFear.SFNPCCommunication

Spatial Fear
Class: SFNPCCommunication
Description: Communication subclass for NPC communication.
List of additional tags:
Changes the viewpoint of the communication, according to the specified number:
number = 0: VP_Rotating,
number = 1: VP_BehindPlayer,
number = 2: VP_InFrontPlayer,
number = 3: VP_RightOfPlayer,
number = 4: VP_LeftOfPlayer,
number = 5: VP_ThisPosition,
number = 6: VP_FirstPerson,
- plays a chain of animations, specified in the string parameter
string = 1;3;2;4;4;3;5 . The sting is a comma separated string of numbers, that define the chain of animations.
You can use SFSTARTAGAIN inside the comma separated string, e.g. 1;3;2;4;4;3;5;SFSTARTAGAIN to start the chain again, from the beginning, after the last sequence has been played,
otherwise the actor stops playing an animation after having reached the end of the animation chain.
You can use SFLOOPEND inside the comma separated string, e.g. 1;3;2;4;4;3;5;SFLOOPEND to make the actor play the last animation of the sequence as a looping one,
in cases, where you don't want to let the deco actor in an unanimated state.
- ends any currently playing animation sequence
