[Feature Request] change state files per player

[eduzappa18]

So in FAKK2 there is an Actor command called statemap that allows you to set specific state files to different AI's e.g. statemap ai/default.st

I wonder if it would be possible to add a similar command to set a state file to only one player via script.

For example

// set custom state file
local.player statemap "vehiclemod/state"
// this will change the player state files to vehiclemod/state_legs.st and vehiclemod/state_torso.st
// and just ignoring the _legs file if it doesn't exist since most if not all mods only use the torso states

// reset to default state file
local.player statemap ""

// or maybe it could be set to a single file like
local.player statemap "vehiclemod/vehicle_states.st"

No idea if it's even possible to add something like this to NightFall (or maybe OPM), but it would be really convenient to have it

I don't think actors have state files in AA. It's just a big state diagram that is hard coded. BTW, fakk2 AI is defo different in implementation than AA. Can you give examples of the function/contents of fakk2 state files for actors?

for example, this is models/claw.tik

TIKI
setup
   {
   scale 1.0
   path models/monster/claw
   surface material1 shader claw.tga
   radius 100
   }

$define clawdir sound/monsters/claw

init
   {
   server
      {
    classname Actor
    setsize "-32 -32 0" "32 32 116"
        stationary
        statemap ai/klaw.st
        fov 20
        nodamage
        name "Klaw"
        deaf
        targetable 0
        attackablebyactors 0
      }
   client
      {
      cache $clawdir$/impact1.wav
      cache $clawdir$/move4.wav
      cache $clawdir$/strike1.wav
      cache $clawdir$/idle.wav
      cache dirtcloud.spr
      cache dirtpiece.spr
      }
   }

and this is ai/klaw.st

Here is a related thread on xNULL from 2012 It looks like RR was looking into adding that feature to reborn https://www.x-null.net/forums/threads/1464-State-Files-State-Files-State-Files-and-suggestions
