An AI-package is a bundle of hidden AI instructions with conditions for when and how to execute it. AI-packages are placed on an actor by dragging them from a CS database to the [[AI Button|AI-Object's Package List]]. Several AI-packages of an actor are organized by the principle of the "cascading list". | An AI-package is a bundle of hidden AI instructions with conditions for when and how to execute it.

The first package that is found valid based on its time schedule and logical conditions is selected and activated for the actor. At a given time only one AI-package is active for a single actor. | ||

For example, a package that is to run on a specific day from 18:00 to 02:00 the next day will actually run from 00:00 to 02:00 on the start day, then 18:00-02:00 as intended, and then again at 18:00-00:00 on the end day. Split these packages so that they don't cross midnight to avoid this effect. | ||
