corpse_detection

corpse_detection is a generic stalker scheme for finding nearby lootable corpses. It adds planner logic that sends an NPC to a corpse within the configured search radius and plays the corpse-search state.

Parameters

corpse_detection_enabled

Type: boolean. Optional. Default: true.

Enables or disables corpse detection for the current reset section.

Runtime behavior

The scheme adds IS_CORPSE_EXISTING and a SEARCH_CORPSE action. The evaluator returns true only when the NPC is alive, has no enemy, is not in danger, is not zombied, is not wounded, is not the cinematic actor visual, and a nearby lootable corpse exists within 20 meters.

When a corpse is selected, the evaluator stores the selected corpse id, vertex id, and position in scheme state and marks the corpse in portable storage so another NPC does not select the same corpse. The action sends the NPC to the corpse, switches to search_corpse near the target, and plays corpse_loot_begin once.

The finishCorpseLooting helper transfers items from the selected corpse to the looting NPC when the corpse object is online. It then plays either corpse_loot_good or corpse_loot_bad; empty transfers use the bad-loot sound.

Example

[logic]
active = walker@camp

[walker@camp]
path_walk = camp_walk
path_look = camp_look
corpse_detection_enabled = false

Notes

• corpse_detection is generic stalker behavior. It is usually controlled from the active logic section, not selected as [logic] active.
• Finalizing the search action frees the selected corpse marker.
