UI_si_path_run_usecode

[SI, Exult]

UI_si_path_run_usecode(actor npc, int pos[], int event, object obj, function fun, bool flag)
npc->si_path_run_usecode(int pos[], int event, object obj, function fun, bool flag)

Causes an NPC to walk to a location and execute the specified usecode function when he/she arrives at the destination. If a path cannot be found for the destination, no usecode will be executed unless a call to set_path_failure intrinsic is made before returning from usecode.

The avatar can be prevented from reaching his/her destination simply by moving away from the path; similarly, a scheduled event or scripted event may prevent an NPC from reaching his/her destination. In these cases, the effects of the intrinsic will be cancelled, and the usecode function set by set_path_failure will be called. If you want the path to be uninterruptible, the NPC's DONT_MOVE flag must be set (this is flag 22 in BG and 16 in SI).

Parameters

Parameter / value Description
npc The NPC that will be affected by this intrinsic. If this isn't a valid NPC, nothing will happen.
pos The location that the NPC should walk to. Can be a (x, y) position or a (x, y, z) position. If the z coordinate is missing, or if it is negative, it is assumed to be zero.
event The event that should be used if the usecode function is called.
obj The object that should be used as item if the usecode function is called. If this parameter is zero, usecode will not be called at all.
fun The usecode function to be called if the destination is reached.
flag Flag specifying whether or not the usecode function should always be called. If false, it will be called only if the NPC can reach its intended destination; if true, the specified usecode function will be called even if the destination cannot be reached. The set_path_failure intrinsic will override this flag in either case. This failure usecode will use event 'SI_PATH_FAILURE'.
