KeepOffsetFromActor - Actor

Member of: Actor Script

Forces the specified actor into a state where it will attempt to keep a given offset from another actor

Syntax

Function KeepOffsetFromActor(Actor arTarget, float afOffsetX, float afOffsetY, float afOffsetZ, float afOffsetAngleX = 0.0, \
    float afOffsetAngleY = 0.0,  float afOffsetAngleZ = 0.0, float afCatchUpRadius = 20.0, float afFollowRadius = 5.0) native

Parameters

• arTarget: the target actor
• afOffsetX: the offset from the target actor, in the actor's body space (so positive X is right of the actor), X
• afOffsetY: the offset from the target actor, in the actor's body space, Y
• afOffsetZ: the offset from the target actor, in the actor's body space, Z
• afOffsetAngleX: the offset angle from the target actor, X (degrees - rarely used)
  • Default: 0.0
• afOffsetAngleY: the offset angle from the target actor, Y (degrees - rarely used)
  • Default: 0.0
• afOffsetAngleZ: the offset angle from the target actor, Z (degrees - most commonly used)
  • Default: 0.0
• afCatchUpRadius: the radius at which the actor would run to catch up (anyone in a radius of 20 will run to catchup)
  • Default: 20.0
• afFollowRadius: the radius at which the actor won't move (anyone in a radius of 5 will not move)
  • Default: 5.0

Return Value

None.

Examples

; Have the stalker keep close to the player
Stalker.KeepOffsetFromActor(Game.GetPlayer(), 0.0, 0.0, 20.0)

; Have the stalker keep close to the player with a larger follow radius
Stalker.KeepOffsetFromActor(Game.GetPlayer(), 0.0, 0.0, 20.0, afFollowRadius = 10.0)

Notes

• The default values will cause the follower to continually run into the target, use larger values instead.
• This nifty if you want an NPC to walk next to another.
