NPC AI dialogue function calls

The blue sector AI NPC have a few features so far beyond just chatting, these mostly handled by ragdoll function calls

Sometimes when the AI sees fit to call several functions at once, only one name is returned and only that one will be called successfully

Right now blue-sector is set up for an agent that should probably be changed for a different one

This is the configurations to add to an eventual permanent agent: Dialogue tree script (see attached document) Currently the agent and app handles a few function calls:

Function calls

Teleport:

name: Teleport

Fields: Coords (string)

Call instructions: "Call this when the user asks to be taken or teleported somewhere

These are the ONLY available locations:

Explanations: "teleports the user to the requested scene"

Example output: {"name":"Teleport", "arguments": {"coords":"Laboratory"}}

SetLevel:

name: SetLevel

Fields: DIfficulty(string)

Call instructions: "Call this when the player asks to change the difficulty level

The available difficulty levels are:

Call instructions: "Call this function when the user answers a question asked by the assistant if no answers match, choose the closest one You must call this when a question from the script is asked, even if the answers don't match perfect Return the appropriate answer index from the document

Explanation: "Handles voice answers in the lab"

Example output: {"name":PromptOptionSelect, "arguments":{"option":0}}

Implementing

Implementing the Function calls is simple: First add the appropriate property to the CallParameters partial class from the RAGDollSerializer (in an external script to prevent dependencies) Add the function to the CallableFunctions dictionary of the ActionManager, the key and the function name does not need to be the same, though the key must match the function name from the ragdoll interface.
