Making "seats"

[Neveos]

Is there a way to assign a brush or prefab (not mesh) the property of being a "seat" such that NPCs will sit on them? Or maybe there is some sort of tricky work-around such as placing a seat inside the brush, and making it invisible?

Not so Tricky. This is what i would have done anyway. Whether it works or not I'll have to try it.

Remember Becker and Jabroni on the CSG bench outside WorldCorp HQ in TNM?

Here's how that was done:



You have to make any geometry they'll be intersecting in their sitting state non-solid, or they can't "reach" the seat. Then place a chair (or two or however many you need) so its seat aligns with your brush, and set these properties on it:

(Advanced) bHidden = True
(Collision) bCollideworld = False
(Movement) Physics = PHYS_None

And finally, you'll want to use BlockAll actors to prevent the player and your NPCs from walking into the non-solid brush. In the picture, you can see I haven't added any BlockAlls where the chairs are, because the collision hulls of the chairs themselves take care of that.

Very detailed and awesome explanation. I'll be doing that.
