Adding Sprint and Swim poses for AI players

This resource adds (2) more poses to the AI Player ... sprint and swim poses.

Steve Acaster did all the hard work previously, over here;
www.garagegames.com/community/resources/view/21164

Now, to update the how -to ... first we don't need to make as many code changes, since some of them are stock now.

*** SOURCE CHANGES ***

Start by making these change in "aiPlayer.cpp";

around line 427, near the end of getAIMove()

// Replicate the trigger state into the move so that
   // triggers can be controlled from scripts.
   for( int i = 0; i < MaxTriggerKeys; i++ )
      movePtr->trigger[i] = getImageTriggerState(i);

//yorks in start  
    switch (mPose)   
    {  
       case StandPose:  
             movePtr->trigger[3] = false;    // crouch
             movePtr->trigger[4] = false;    // prone
             movePtr->trigger[5] = false;    // sprint
       break;  
       case CrouchPose:                  
            movePtr->trigger[3] = true;      // crouch  
            movePtr->trigger[4] = false;     // prone
            movePtr->trigger[5] = false;     // sprint
       break;  
       case PronePose:  
            movePtr->trigger[3] = false;     // crouch
            movePtr->trigger[4] = true;      // prone    
            movePtr->trigger[5] = false;     // sprint
       break;
       // JY >>>
       case SprintPose:
            movePtr->trigger[3] = false;     // crouch
            movePtr->trigger[4] = false;     // prone
            movePtr->trigger[5] = true;      // sprint
       break;
       // <<< JY
    }  
//yorks in end

and then add this function with changes;

//yorks - new function!  
void AIPlayer::changePose(S32 poseNumber)  
{  
    Pose mPose = StandPose;  // default

// JY >>>
    switch (poseNumber)
    {
          case 0: mPose = StandPose;    break;    //   { Player::StandPose,    "Stand",    "Standard movement pose.n" },
          case 1: mPose = SprintPose;   break;    //   { Player::SprintPose,   "Sprint",   "Sprinting pose.n" },
          case 2: mPose = CrouchPose;   break;    //   { Player::CrouchPose,   "Crouch",   "Crouch pose.n" },
          case 3: mPose = PronePose;    break;    //   { Player::PronePose,    "Prone",    "Prone pose.n" },
          case 4: mPose = SwimPose;     break;    //   { Player::SwimPose,     "Swim",     "Swimming pose.n" },
    }
// <<< JY

    setPose(mPose);  
}  
//yorks

AND at the bottom of AiPlayer.cpp, expose it to script;

//yorks
ConsoleMethod( AIPlayer, setPose, void, 3, 3, "()"
			  "(int pose) StandPose=0,SprintPose=1,CrouchPose=2,PronePose=3,SwimPose=4")
{	
   object->changePose(dAtoi(argv[2]));
}
// yorks

Finally, add this near the end of AIPlayer.h;

//...
   void stopMove();
   void changePose(S32 poseNumber);	// yorks added
};
#endif

thats all the engine code changes needed for T3D v1.2 ... now to the Torque Scripts!


*** TORQUE SCRIPT CHANGES ***
Add these updated pose functions to the end of "scripts/server/aiPlayer.cs"

// Poses ; 0 = stand, 1 = sprint, 2 = crouch, 3 = prone, 4 = swim //
function AiPlayer::doStand(%this)
{
   echo(%this.getname() @ " AiStand");
   if(%this.getPose() != 0)
   {
      %this.setPose(0);
      %this.schedule(50, "kickStartPose", 0);
   }
}

function AiPlayer::doSprint(%this)
{
   echo(%this.getname() @ " AiSprint");
   if(%this.getPose() != 1)
   {
      %this.setPose(1);
      %this.schedule(50, "kickStartPose", 1);
   }
}

function AiPlayer::doCrouch(%this)
{
   echo(%this.getname() @ " AiCrouch");
   if(%this.getPose() != 2)
   {
      %this.setPose(2);
      %this.schedule(50, "kickStartPose", 2);
   }
}

function AiPlayer::doProne(%this)
{
   echo(%this.getname() @ " AiProne");
	
   if(%this.getPose() != 3)
   {
      %this.setPose(3);
      %this.schedule(50, "kickStartPose", 3);
   }
}

function AiPlayer::doSwim(%this)
{
   echo(%this.getname() @ " AiSwim");
	
   if(%this.getPose() != 4)
   {
      %this.setPose(4);
      %this.schedule(50, "kickStartPose", 4);
   }
}

//and our kickstart bugfix workaround solution
function AiPlayer::kickStartPose(%this, %pose)
{
   echo("kickstart pose " @ %pose);
   
   %this.setPose(%pose);
		
   %this.setTransform(%this.getTransform());
}

Thats it! The rest is all the same as Steves resource ...

%ID.doStand();
%ID.doCrouch();
%ID.doProne();
%ID.doSprint();
%ID.doSwim();

I've verified its setting the poses, however I haven't gotten the models to actually swim ... possibly it requires them to actual be in water first?!

The doSprint doesn't seem to change the stance ... but if followed by a move command, should take effect.

Finally, I found it defaults back to "stand" if you set it to a mode -- for which there are no animations, such as the prone with the default player object.
