NPCScheduleWeatherResponse.V2 evaluates weather state against schedule-aware response rules. Rain and storms send NPCs to shelter, extreme cold keeps NPCs indoors, and sunny/clear weather can send NPCs outside.

Runtime Surface#

  • FV2NPCScheduleWeatherState carries weather id, weather type, temperature, precipitation intensity, outdoor safety, indoor preference, and outdoor-clear flags.
  • FV2NPCScheduleWeatherResponseRule maps weather to seek-shelter, stay-indoors, or go-outside behavior with target locations and activity/ behavior tags.
  • FV2NPCScheduleWeatherCommand is the data-only behavior command emitted to schedule AI.
  • FV2NPCScheduleWeatherResponseResult includes schedule execution, location binding, a weather interruption event, the weather command, and validation issues.

Response Rules#

  1. Rain and storm rules select an available shelter or home location and emit Schedule.Activity.WeatherShelter / Behavior.Schedule.SeekShelter.
  2. Extreme cold and snow rules select an available home or shelter and emit Schedule.Activity.StayIndoors / Behavior.Schedule.StayIndoors.
  3. Sunny and clear rules require bClearForOutdoor and no unsafe outdoor flag, then emit Schedule.Activity.GoOutside / Behavior.Schedule.GoOutside.
  4. Weather response can suppress command issue while still reporting the selected response.
  5. Missing current locations, weather ids, shelter/indoor/outdoor targets, and invalid commands produce blocking issues.
