Re: Alright, then redirecting the monologue: Do you know how the AI works, then? by Senor Barborito 07/03/2003, 12:39am PDT Here's my best bet: When the guys come screaming round the corner yelling 'STRIDER'? Probably scripted. Strider blows up skybridge in the way? Scripted. When the guy gets impaled by the strider? Scripted. The door being punched in when you block it? Impossible to say for certain, but probably NOT scripted. I say this because there are too many instances where this technique could be used throughout any game for it to simply be scripted for each and every one, probably they just have the AI exert extreme forward force on an object blocking the path to objective (you). The hanging blinds being shot in as Gordon goes up the stairs? Scripted or very, very staged (they had guys positioned at just the right angle so that this had to happen). Almost everything else was unscripted. Obviously the headcrab knocking the camera over was scripted in the beginning. I'm just mentally reviewing the movie and I can't think of any more examples that really stick out. --SB
