One visible actor: who it is, where it stands, and what it looks like.
Kind struct · Area Game.Common
The element of GameRolePlayShowActorsEvent, and reused by the
map-complementary snapshot and by fight synchronisation - so the same record
describes an actor in roleplay and in combat.
actor_id IS THE HANDLE FOR EVERYTHING AFTERWARDS. Every later event that
moves, turns, animates, addresses or removes this actor names it by this id.
Index your world model by it.
disposition is where the actor stands and faces - see EntityDisposition.
actor_information carries the appearance (EntityLook) plus a oneof
selecting what KIND of actor it is: a named character, a monster group, an NPC,
a prism, a portal, a tax collector, or a fighter. Branch on that oneof; it is
what tells a monster apart from a player.
NOTHING ABOUT THE LAYOUT IS STABLE. Field numbers move in every direction across the dumped builds and the record is padded with live-looking decoys. Read by name.
Not sent on its own — it travels inside the actor-list events. proven
