Random Periodic Interaction

This gene class causes the pawn to periodically interact and/or give thoughts to nearby pawns in the same faction. To use this, you need a special class and the EBSG Extension:

		<geneClass>EBSGFramework.Gene_RandomPeriodicInteraction</geneClass>
		<modExtensions>
			<li Class="EBSGFramework.EBSGExtension">
			</li>
		</modExtensions>

These are the relevant options from the extension:

• intervalRange : Default (6000~12000) : How many ticks to have between interaction attempts. When the interval is over, the pawn will see if there's a pawn nearby for them to interact with, and the next interval will start regardless of whether or not there is
• interaction : The InteractionDef to have between the pawns. If not used, then only the thought will happen
• interactionThought : The memory to give the pawn being interacted with. If not used, interaction is the only thing used
• thoughtAboutCarrier : Default (True) : When True, the target for interactionThought is the gene carrier. Otherwise, it's about a random pawn on the map in the same faction

This example is an adapted version of the Manipulative gene from the Highborn Xenotype which has the same functionality, but it uses this class for the gene and Random Opinion for the thought:
