Gameplay
Adjusted player movement speed transitions from prone → crouch → walk (the correct speed is now applied).
Added a loading state that checks the player's pose (crouching, prone, or inside a vehicle). After loading, the appropriate state is applied — if the player was in a vehicle, they are reattached to it.
Fixed exiting vehicles — when a vehicle is flipped on its side or roof, its rotation is no longer transferred to the player.
NPCs can now go prone.
If an NPC is in a specific alert state, the player no longer lowers their weapon.
NPCs can now activate bayonets.
Reworked bolt-action weapon reload logic — NPCs no longer get stuck during reloading and resume firing properly.
NPCs now use the same animations and functionality as the player.
Unified NPC movement system with the player movement system.
Added a compass and objective markers visible even when the player is inside a vehicle.
Reworked Quest Point system — no more need to manually enter tag names.
Updated quest event system to support dynamic NPC spawning.
NPCs now react to different stimuli — they go prone or crouch based on the situation.
AI & NPC
CutSceneManager expanded with NPC dialogue configuration.
Each NPC now requests its dialogue from the CutSceneManager at the start of a level.
Created a new NPC base character, beginning the transition from ALS to Motion Matching.
Added SeansFilter_Sight Component — prioritizes and evaluates the danger level of perceived objects. Compatible with Vehicle and NPC Controllers.
Implemented a Vehicle AI Controller:
The vehicle now searches for a designated spline in the level and follows it.
Tanks track the player and fire the main cannon or the machine gun depending on distance.
NPCs now check vehicle spawn status on spawn; if the vehicle isn’t spawned yet, they subscribe to the spawn event.
Refined NPC initialization logic on spawn.
Adjusted NPC loading — parts of the logic were moved into the controller.
Experimentally disabled NPC hearing when they have an active target.
Updated static weapon logic to support NPC usage.
Fixed weapon and pickup assignment for NPCs and players — if a weapon is held or holstered, saving is skipped and the weapon is recreated after loading.
