Bots schedule & others IA improvements

The video shows a system for NPCs to perform tasks according to the time.

It also shows how the NPC's can talk to each other when they are in the same way (always in the video, to show, but random in the final release).

And some transition animations for states, like sitting, sleeping, etc.

Inventory

This is the inventory, to pick up, drop, use items, and sell/buy from others NPCs, using game money.

Work with clothes, weapons and items (food, amulets, keys, etc.)

Interface menus, city buildings, torches, etc. are provisional.

Playing with torches

Doing the inventory system (pick up, drop, use, buy or sell items), this is the torch, to see at night.
It's provisional, needs a new mesh and flame.

Pathfinding without navmesh

This is a system for surrounding trees, NPCs and other dynamic objects.

But after trying it works well enough as "pathfinding" in places on the map where there are no navigation mesh (the navigation system used by UDK).





On a map of 100 km2 there are many areas without navigation mesh.
In this video there are none, all navigation are working with this system in real time.

Operation is simple, doing a trace forward and if collides with something, make additional traces on the sides to find a free way.

In principle makes two traces per second, but with one on each tick there are no apparent impact on performance.

It can work in conjunction with navigation mesh, then the traces only affect to dynamic objects.
