SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING PERSISTENT CHARACTER PERSONALITIES IN A SIMULATION

摘要

Apparatus and methods are provided to implement a technique for managing the response of a digital entity in a simulation to reflect its interaction with one or more players over time, such as managing a non-player character's responses to player characters in an online computer game. In the system, a computer system tracks the interaction of the digital entity with other entities and the occurrence or status of internal and external events to control how the digital entity reacts to current events and interactions.

主权项

1. A computer-readable medium, comprising instructions for causing a processor in an electronic device to perform a method of providing information about a non-player character to a player character in a simulation, the method comprising:
receiving a first signal, the first signal indicating that a player character is within a predetermined distance from a shared history spawning point; upon receipt of the first signal, transmitting a second signal to the client computing device, the second signal causing the client computing device to display an activatable element corresponding to information about a non-player character; and upon receipt of a third signal corresponding to an activation of the displayed element, transmitting a fourth signal to the client computing device, the fourth signal causing the client computing device to play back a media file corresponding to the information about the non-player character.
