<h2>what is hostility? </h2><br>
|
|
Hostility is a state that a character's AI state machine can enter. More specific states will inherit from the hostile state to prompt targeting, aggressive, and defensive behavior. It's a very similar concept to <a href="https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Aggro">aggro</a> in Guild Wars because weaving through patrol patterns and balling mobs is one of my favorite things from any game. <br>

<h2>when does a character become hostile? </h2><br>
|
|
NPCs generally will not seek out the player for combat. They will either stand stationary or follow their patrol route, oblivious of the player until becoming hostile. <br>

Usually, if an NPC is hostile, that means a threat got too close. Currently, proximities in Blessfrey mirror <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxemics">Edward T. Hall's zoning</a> for interpersonal distances. Intimate distance is the range for physical interaction and melee attacks and social distance is the range for assessing hostility and ranged attacks. <br>
