<function name="SelectSchedule" parent="ENTITY" type="hook"> <description>Set the schedule we should be playing right now. Allows the NPC to start either a Lua schedule or an engine schedule. Despite sharing the same name as `CAI_BaseNPC::SelectSchedule()`, this isn't hooked to that function; this is called by Lua's <page>ENTITY:RunAI</page>, doesn't return an engine function, returning an engine function doesn't help and doesn't make the NPC start an engine schedule. To alter initial engine schedule, it is recommended to use <page>ENT:TranslateSchedule</page>. <note>This hook only exists for `ai` type [SENTs](Scripted_Entities).</note>⤶ <note>This is a helper function only available if your SENT is based on `base_ai`</note>⤶ </description> <realm>Server</realm> </function> <example> <description>Creates a new schedule and assigns it to a scripted NPC.</description> <code> local schdTest = ai_schedule.New( "Test Schedule" ) schdTest:EngTask( "TASK_GET_PATH_TO_RANDOM_NODE", 128 ) schdTest:EngTask( "TASK_RUN_PATH", 0 ) schdTest:EngTask( "TASK_WAIT_FOR_MOVEMENT", 0 ) function ENT:SelectSchedule() self:StartSchedule( schdTest ) end </code> <output>The scripted NPC will run around when spawned.</output> </example>
