Let's say I have a bunch of NPCs that need to go to work every weekday. There will be additional considerations for cases when they would choose to stay home (low health etc.).
So, the basic logic is as follows:
Behavior "GoToWork", should be considered only if it's Monday to Friday AND only if clock time is after 6:00 AM, applying random shift of up to 3 hours to prevent all NPCs rushing out at the same time.
The world clock and calendar is knowledge base and I can map clock (minutes) to input range. But days and random shifting are not that straight forward. I could map minutes for entire week as a single input and build a custom piecewise curve with sharp transitions (because it's essentially yes/no decision - I don't want to consider it at night or on Sundays at all) and use that as the second consideration for GoToWork.
But still I'm not sure how it is supposed to be implemented "the right way" with utility AI. Which condition checks belong where and how to add that random offset for each NPC separately?
