SetBehavior

Sets an entity's behavior/AI on the fly.

Postal III Ultrapatch+Angel v1.3.0+ Feature

The following function will only work in Postal III Ultrapatch+Angel v1.3.0 or higher.

Syntax

SetBehavior [behavior] -- Sets only the behavior.

SetBehavior [behavior],[init_state] -- Sets the behavior and init state only.

SetBehavior [behavior],[init_state],[start_state] -- Sets behavior, init, and start state only.

SetBehavior [behavior],[init_state],[start_state],[faction] -- Sets behavior, init, start state, and the faction only.

SetBehavior [behavior],[init_state],[start_state],[faction],[manner] -- Sets everything for this entity.

Note

Will use 'st_init' and 'st_start' for init and start states if there weren't any defined.

Faction and Manner will be reused from current AI if it was never defined.

Will create 'setbehavior_lock' attribute to prevent spamming as it can crash the game. Set it to zero if you wish to set the AI once again.
