Need Suggestions on Managing Control Zones and Animations
I am using an XBOX One system and thus far I am really enjoying the map editor and all which is possible. I have seen a few other posts and videos similar to my questions, but none were definitive (just assumptions), so I wanted to post my own. And,if there is such a post, please let me know...otherwise, please post some suggestions. The answers for the below might be common sense and apparently I don't have any of that at the moment...so please forgive if this is the case. Thank you!
If an AI's Control Zone (CZ) is named "Defend - 2", it does not mean I can find CZ "Defend - 2" because when I select a CZ, it only tells me what type of CZ it is...not a name. Plus they are all look exactly the same in the editor. The animations are not much better for me...#3 below.
I know how to:
-- add an AI
-- add a CZ and assign the AI to the CZ
-- add an animation (but not how to assign an AI to the animation)
After a bit of time, things tend to get lost in my mind due to the naming conventions of the CZ's being so random regardless of the type of CZ (defend, defend cautious, etc.).
1. How do you match up and/or keep track of which "unnamed" CZ is assigned to which AI?
2. Can you rename CZ's?
3. What does each of the CZ types mean? Is there a list of definitions for the CZ types? Defend could be defend that spot the AI is in, so I am not sure...same for all of the others...another is Alarm 934 (whatever number) could mean AI is to set off that alarm but I cannot tell which alarm is 934 because they do not have a name when selecting them or if that is what the CZ type means.
4. How do you assign an animation to an AI? I tried multiple tests, such as closest animation to AI. The last time there were two AI's, one to do jumping jacks and the other to squat down and wait. The one closest to the jumping jacks walked away...far away. The one who did the jumping jacks last time is now squatting and waiting...and for whatever reason a third different female AI showed up and began doing jumping jacks...omg...seems to me about as random as the CZ's.
4. Some animations have male/female, but which male and female is assigned to which?
Any other suggestions about AI's, CZ's, animations or the like...please post those as well.
Thank you all!
