Odf question

[Clavin12]

When making an odf for a model (say, a hover scav) how are virtual classes used in the odf? Idk how that works.

Dalek scav.

So you simply put the classlabel as the kind of virtual class you want? BTW is "isfearless" a real option?

[Red Devil]

Open up ChangeLogs in BZ root and search for isFearless.

Virtual classes, eg provideName2 = "VIRTUAL_CLASS_SCAVENGER"
Are, I think, just for aip's (dll maybe too) to use, so that you can address a certain type of vehicle rather than a specifically named one. They are very useful.

IsFearless = true is how default scavs are, they will suicidally storm a wall of gt's looking for just one little piece of scap...

IsFearless = false causes them to turn around and trundle off to the nearest building if something shoots them (sort of like bz1) I am not sure if this is a good idea. strat players would just have to straff a gang of scavs to get them to all run away, leaving all the loose scap for them.
