	'''Idle Markers''' allow you to specify how an [[:Category:Actor\|Actor]] should behave when it reaches a specific spot. Idle Markers can represent specific animations (such as SweepIdleMarker or CounterLeanMarker), or allow the Actor to choose randomly from among a set of potential animations (such as PatrolIdleMarker, which includes a set of ten animations like shifting weight or swatting flies). Actors will ignore any animations they can't use.		'''Idle Markers''' are categorized under "''Miscellaneous / IdleMarker''" in the Object Window. They allow you to specify how an [[:Category:Actor\|Actor]] should behave when it reaches a specific spot. Idle Markers can represent specific animations (such as SweepIdleMarker or CounterLeanMarker), or allow the Actor to choose randomly from among a set of potential animations (such as PatrolIdleMarker, which includes a set of ten animations like shifting weight or swatting flies). Actors will ignore any animations they can't use.

	Actors will typically use Idle Markers when performing a [[Procedure Sandbox\|Sandbox]] behavior, or while idling at an Idle Marker location as part of a [[Procedure Patrol\|Patrol]]. Many [[Procedure Sandbox\|Sandbox Packages]], including the sandbox component of the [[Default Master Package]] will allow actors to 'wander' around and seek out Idle Markers to use, so you can simply populate a space with them and allow the Actors to seek them out on their own.
