AIAgent* gameplay::AIController::findAgent

(

const char *

id

)

const

Searches for an AIAgent that is registered with the AIController with the specified ID.

Parameters:

id	ID of the agent to find.

Returns:

The first agent matching the specified ID, or NULL if no matching agent could be found.

void gameplay::AIController::sendMessage	(	AIMessage *	message,
		float	delay = 0
	)

Routes the specified message to its intended recipient(s).

Messages are arbitrary packets of data that are sent either to a single or to multiple recipients in the game.

Once the specified message has been delivered, it is automatically destroyed by the AIController. For this reason, AIMessage pointers should NOT be held or explicitly destroyed by any code after they are sent through the AIController.

Parameters:

message	The message to send.
delay	The delay (in milliseconds) to wait before sending the message.
