Player character

If the index is 0, the character is spawned as a player character, stealing controls (but not focus) from the current player. Focus is transferred as well if the old player is deleted immediately before the new one is created.

Automatic naming

If the name field is left blank, the engine will generate an automatic name "ai_#", where # is the runtime ID of the character (first empty slot in memory at the time of the spawning). The ID is not zero-padded: "ai_0, "ai_1", ...

Missing FLAG issue

If the flag ID requested by chr_create is obsolete or otherwise unavailable, chr_create will fail with a message to the console.

Missing ONCC issue

Missing ONCCs are resolved by picking the first available ONCC (in ASCII order, i.e., SH_generic comes before barabus). In Vanilla Oni this only happens once (for AISA): "lab" scripts use chr_create 1004 in the bomber cutscene (for the cop who talks to Konoko on the radio): the missing ONCC TCL_2 is luckily resolved as the close-enough TCTF_lite_1. In the Anniversary Edition, the custom ONCC Cop_generic was added to take care of this situation (both to prevent the Vanilla "lab" logic from resolving to CopfemA1 and to give some screen time to TRBSTCL_2, which is present in Vanilla Oni, but somehow doesn't have a matching ONCC).

If the eventually used ONCC is invalid (e.g., if it has a missing TRAC or if its ONCV is missing from ONVL), Oni will crash. This applies to CHAR a.k.a. ai2_spawn, AISA a.k.a. chr_create, and ai2_chump (hardcoded to spawn ONCCstriker_easy_1; in Vanilla Oni there are three levels where ai2_chump's ONCC is resolved due to a missing striker_easy_1: to CopfemA1 in state and tctf_II, and to TCTF_swat_blackops_1 in compound; in neuro the full set of Strikers is available, as well as comguys, the mad bomber, and Muro).

Missing ONWC issue

Some of the vanilla AISA entries contain a link to an invalid (obsolete) ONWC: two Strikers in tctf (in the cutscene where Barabas kidnaps Shinatama) have a link to ONWCp_rifle; there are eleven more AISA characters (not used in Vanilla scripts) who have links to ONWCautopistol, ONWCsmg, ONWCp_rifle and ONWCp_stream. The engine resolves such bad links by not giving any weapon to the character. (There are no valid ONWC links in Vanilla AISA, but providing a valid link in a modified AISA shows that the weapon field is interpreted by the engine, unlike other inventory fields which are ignored.)

Inventory and script events.

Since nearly all the inventory fields are ignored, AISA characters can't be created with inventory items, and so the "out of ammo" script function is irrelevant. The inventory can still be set with scripting (items that the character can use, not what they drop when killed). The "no path" function doesn't seem to work, neither does it seem to work for CHAR.
