Acquire (Procedure)

Behavior

Description:
The actor will move to a specified item, then pick that item up and add it to their inventory.

The procedure completes:
When the actor adds enough of the target item(s) to his inventory

Parameters

• Target (Target): What to acquire (usually an ObjectList filled by a Find procedure)
• NumToAcquire (Int): How many to acquire
• AllowStealing (Bool): Is the actor allowed to consider acquiring target if it is owned by someone else?
• AllowPickpocket (Bool): Is the actor allowed to consider acquiring target if it is in another actor's inventory via pickpocketing?
• AllowKilling (Bool): Is the actor allowed to consider acquiring target if it is in another actor's inventory via killing him to get it?

                             

Notes

• What happens if the item disappears (like if the player picks it up)?
  • If they're picking from an ObjectList, they'll try to acquire the next valid object in the list. If that doesn't work, they stop trying to Acquire an item, and the procedure fails.
• How close does an actor have to be to pick up an item?
  • Currently it has to be “at” the reference it’s picking up; this uses the gamesetting iAIDistanceRadiusMinLocation which is the default radius for turning a target into a location.
