Title: KnowsAbout command
Post by: Peter_Bullet on 24 Jul 2004, 19:06:39

I couldn't find button: search forum, I could only find search FAQ but I didn't find an explanation comprehensive enough.  :P

I checked the Command reference the knows about command, and it said that a returned value is a number.  8)

Now, I know how you use numbers and stuff in srcipts and conditions, so I know how to use that information. :)

But could somebody tell that what do these numbers indicate like (1=something, 2=more) or something like that.  ???

If you didn't understand the question, please let me know! ;)

At 0.105, or whatever the magic number is.   That's the miminum level for him to know enough about you to fire at you, although he won't necessary fire immediately.    

Think of knowsabout as a continous fog:  objects in the middle distance are vague and indistinct.   There are no hard and fast numbers where something happens.

They are not the same.   The online version is considerably more helpful.    If you click on the link you will find out why.
