## About The Pull Request Melbert asked me to make this and I thought it'd be relatively easy and plausibly useful so I did. This PR adds a feature to the VV menu for mobs which allows you to apply and configure an AI controller from a list of templates. It's not as versatile as coding one would be, but it should be able to accomodate a lot of generic scenarios. Some examples of basic stuff you can set it up to do: - Give Ian a machine gun he will fire at nearby people while staying within a specified min/max range. - Have Poly fire brimstone beams on cooldown at whoever is nearby (although she won't bother trying to line up cardinally). - Assign a gorilla to be someone's personal bodyguard which will follow them around and attack anyone who hurts them. I have also made an executive decision to remove the restriction that basic ai controllers can only be placed on basic mobs. We've removed _most_ non-basic simple mobs from the game, and also have more recently updated most AI behaviours to work agnostically of whether they are assigned to a basic mob or not... which means that they'll largely work on carbons. Coincidentally, this feature makes sure to ask if you want an AI controller to remain active on a mob which already has a client. Assigning an active AI controller to a live player which forces their character to automatically attempt to run away from whoever the last person to attack them was is ~~not recommended behaviour because it's largely untested~~ highly recommended behaviour because I think it's very funny (makes it very hard to play though). I'm gonna do another PR some time which cleans up `random_speech` so it's configurable and then let you slap that on whoever as well. ## Why It's Good For The Game Enables a greater level of admin abuse. ## Changelog 🆑 admin: Added easier tooling for admins to add or change the AI controllers on mobs /🆑
