/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW:

This is the AI Controller class for NPCs which can react to and attack enemies 
and use actual inventory weapons, possibly in combination with animation-based 
attacks.

Move here:
	Any Weapon related code.

Weapons should look at damage radius and determine "dangerous" distance from this
instead of hard-coding these (so that changes to the weapon/projectile properties
will automatically be taken into account).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advanced NPCs:
	+weapon use
	+can shoot decorations to get items
	+advanced non-bot movement

Weapon Selection:

One timer is used to reevaluate all weapons in the NPCs inventory every 5 secs
or so (tbd - more often if NPC has an enemy) and the NPC will switch to the
best weapon at that time. The function SwitchToBestWeapon is used to perform
the rating and initiate a weapon switch if necessary.

Another timer evaluates the current weapon every 0.2 secs or so. If the rating
for the current weapon becomes unacceptable, this timer can result in a call
to SwitchToBestWeapon.

When picking up a weapon, the Weapon code will generally check to see whether
the newly-acquired weapon is more highly rated than the current one and, if
so, switch to the new weapon. NPCs can override AllowPickupWeaponSwitch, e.g.
if the NPC is currently firing the current weapon. This is done in 
Weapon.ClientWeaponSet.

When picking up ammo, no action is necessary unless the NPC already has the
weapon which uses that ammo in his inventory. This can happen when running
across ammo while already having the weapon or by running over a weapon with
or without the weapon already present. When this happens, the weapon will be
compared with the current one (unless its already selected) to see if the
NPC should switch to it.  This is also done in Weapon.ClientWeaponSet and
the NPC can disable this switch also if desired.
