controller, a small dialog appears asking you to
confirm the deletion. If you delete a directly
assigned behav ior, its assignment is removed
from the scene. If you delete a behavior used in a
cognitive controller, it is removed from the state to
which it was assigned.
Behaviors List—Listsallbehaviorsinthecurrent
scene (added with New). Select a behavior from
thelisttohaveitsrolloutappearbelowtheSetup
rollout.
Note that behaviors that appear in this list aren’t
necessarily assigned to any delegates active in the
crowd simulation. Likewise, a behavior whose
rollout appears below the Setup rollout isn’t
necessarily active or assigned. To assign delegates
and/or activate behaviors, use the Behavior
Assignments and Teams dialog (page 2–1200).
You can rename a behavior by first selecting it from
the list, and then clicking its name and entering
a new one from the keyboard. It’s a good idea to
give descr iptive names to behaviors; for example,
Avoid Red Team.
Note: If you add the first behavior in the scene
from the Behavior Assignments and Teams dialog
(page 2–1200), the text box remains empty and
no rollout for the behavior appears. To edit the
behavior, choose it from the list.
