An infection level above approximately 20 will affect the player's ability to move. Infection level above 80 will kill the player. Infection slowly decreases over time, unless high enough. \\ This function replaces TDD's ''SetPlayerSanity''. | + | Sets the [[:hpl2:machine_for_pigs:infection|infection]] level for the player.

| + | //The initial design of the game’s enemy artificial intelligence system contained three unique sets of behavioural controls. There was only one visual enemy style, however every enemy agent in the game would be assigned one of three possible ‘personalities’, referred to in the game’s code as the ‘Rod’, ‘Jane’ and ‘Freddy’ personality types. These personalities each had a different set of behavioural rules, thus allowing enemy agents that may otherwise appear identical to behave very differently to one another.// | ||

| + | ^Enemy Agent Personality Type ^Primary Behavioural Traits | | ||
| + | |Rod |– Will maintain a 'safe' distance to the player-character. \\ – unable to do so, will approach player character, investigate them (by getting close and smelling them), before continuing its patrol. | | ||
| + | |Jane |– Will maintain a ‘safe’ distance from player-character, whilst observing the player-character’s movements. \\ – If unable to maintain ‘safe’ distance, will panic and flee. \\ – If cornered and unable to flee, will attack and knock player-character to floor, then flee. \\ – Will only attack and kill player-character as a last resort. | | ||
| + | |Freddy |– Will actively hunt the player-character. \\ – Will attack and kill them if given the opportunity. | | ||
