RequestReinforcementReadability

When a reinforcement is spawned in the level, it could be helpful for the player to detect in the scene that one agent is performing some action to communicate the decision of calling backups.

This node has been introduced to allow level designers to request the AI to perform this readability action. An example of how to use the node can be found in the following picture:

The node is currently signalling AI that they are in a good moment to call reinforcement. The Done output is triggered when at least one AI in the specified group is alive and the signalling is performed.

Note that currently the node doesn't guarantee that the readability action will be performed: this decision is in total control of the AI behavior and it could fail.

SetCommunicationVariable

While executing a behavior, AI agents will try to communicate their intentions triggering specific VO lines in relation of the state they are in. Some states could have special variation, for example depending on the level the agent is.

Level designers need to give hints to the Communication Manager about which condition are fulfilled at each specific time. This node can be used to achieve this goal.

The variables are defined into the file: GameSDK\Scripts\AI\Communication\CommunicationVariable.xml
