Heads Available for AI

author: Springheel

One of the easiest ways to add variety to a group of similar AI is to attach different heads to them. There are more than 50 variations to choose from, but it can be difficult for mappers to keep track of what heads are available.

This page is an attempt to make it easier to browse the existing heads so you can select the one you want to use. Heads are organized by character type (though you can often mix and match). Each image displays the available heads, and the list beneath the image gives the name of the head entitydef by number.

Mappers can add these heads to their AI by following three simple steps:

1. Find the head you want on this page

2. Select the AI in your map

3. Type "def_head" "[cut and paste listed name of head]" in the entity editor window. (Example: "def_head" "atdm:ai_head_baseguard_chaincoif_goatee")

Some of the heads are separate models, others differ due to textures or def_attached objects. Each one, however, is its own entity.

Guard Heads

City Watch Heads

The distinctive helmet helps identify an AI as a member of the city watch. Only city watch characters should use these heads (though some city watch, like archers, might not wear helmets at all). Be sure the coif material of the head (cloth vs chain) matches the skin used on the body.

3. atdm:ai_head_citywatch_default_goatee

8. atdm:ai_head03_citywatch_clothcoif

9. atdm:ai_head03_citywatch

10. atdm:ai_head_citywatch_poor_eyepatch01

Generic Guard Heads

These heads are specifically designed for the generic guards you find guarding mansions or merchants. Some (the ones without helmets) can also be used for city watch characters.

1. atdm:ai_head_baseguard_clothcoif_pale
