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. It can be difficult to keep track of what heads are available, however.

This page is an attempt to make it easier for mappers to browse and select the heads they 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.

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 usually find guarding mansions or merchants. Many commoner heads are also appropriate for guard characters, however.
