Active characters are ones that can be collided with, attacked, etc. An active character can be passive or not passive (see next commands). It is normal for characters to become inactive when they have not been drawn (i.e., have not been on-screen) for a while. Thus, using '''chr_all_active''' or '''chr_draw_all_characters''' to force all characters to be evaluated as active is an unusual measure that is not to be taken lightly. Those two variables might in fact only have been useful for Oni's developers. Set '''chr_disable_visactive''' to true to avoid making characters active simply because they are being drawn. '''chr_lock_active''' obviously prevents a character from automatically going inactive, and '''chr_unlock_active''' removes the lock.

Active characters are ones that can be collided with, attacked, etc. An active character can be passive or not passive (see next commands). It is normal for characters to become inactive when they have not been drawn (i.e., have not been on-screen) for a while. Thus, using chr_all_active or chr_draw_all_characters to force all characters to be evaluated as active is an unusual measure that is not to be taken lightly. Those two variables might in fact only have been useful for Oni's developers. Set chr_disable_visactive to true to avoid making characters active simply because they are being drawn. chr_lock_active obviously prevents a character from automatically going inactive, and chr_unlock_active removes the lock.

Passive status

When these functions are passed "true" or a non-zero number for "passive", the specified AI (or all AIs, with ai2_allpassive) will stop all "intelligent" activity (melee, gunfights, pursuit), but passive AIs will still patrol. Since the default value for "passive" is 0, you don't need to pass anything for that argument to make an AI active again; i.e., ai2_allpassive() makes all AIs active. chr_freeze and chr_neutral are simply aliases for ai2_passive.

Alert status

void
string or int

ai2_setalert(

Set AI's alert level. The argument "alert" can be "lull", "low", "medium", "high", "combat".
