The following is a test script I'm using to create posted guards who take a seat whenever they are at their post. The simplest way to implement it is to create the usual POST_tag waypoint, set the "NW_GENERIC_MASTER" variable on the guard to 1048576, and add this script to the guard's "On User Defined" script. The current form is pretty basic, so there's plenty of room for improvement.

// userenv_sit_at_post
/*
  This is the "On User Defined" script for a posted character
    who will normally be seated at the post location. To activate,
    run SetSpawnInCondition( NW_FLAG_HEARTBEAT_EVENT ) in a spawn
    script (0x00100000 = 1048576 in the "NW_GENERIC_MASTER" variable).

#include "x0_i0_position"
#include "ginc_math"

/*	Play a custom animation that will cause this creature to
      appear seated. If bDrink is set to TRUE, then drinking
  animations will be included. If bTalk is set to TRUE,
      then talking animations will be used.
*/
void PlaySitAnimation( int bDrink = FALSE, int bTalk = FALSE )
{
  // Select the animation
  int nRandom = Random( 6 );
    string sAnim = "sitidle";
    switch(nRandom)
    {
    case 0:
            if ( bDrink )
                sAnim = "sitdrink";
            break;
        case 1:
            if ( bTalk )
                sAnim = "sittalk01";

Suggestions? (Stupid BBCode tag won't indent properly.)

No suggestions at this time, but a thanks for posting this. I love reading scripting ideas like this.

My ai generics scripts account for combat and include various sit options, you might get some ideas from them.

Does your script have the guard walk waypoints and then sit at one of them?

[rjshae]

Thanks. I use separate separate scripts for the rotating town guard. This was more for an interior situation.

That script is quite similar to the one I use to have NPCs periodically sit and eat/drink in taverns, or sit and read in a library. The PC can also use the system. I use some handy effects that some bearded guy created to put objects in their hands.

This is a great thread. I was wondering how sitting worked... Nice job guys!

[rjshae]

The problem I ran into is that when the character is bumped, they can end up sitting in mid-air. I probably need to add some code to translate them back to the exact sitting location. (Making them unbumpable works for this, but I suspect that sometimes they may not sit back down in the correct spot.)

Look at how my ai generics handle it, they will return to their position and facing if they leave (bump/combat/teleported by script etc).

I tend to have the sitting script set them temporarily to be both unbumpable and to not orient on dialogue. That helps prevent the new looping idle animation from being interupted.
