ChatGPT example outcomes
Graveyard Confrontation
Problem: Force Jack into the Fountain
Solution: Use the Gravestones as cover to get within HTH range and grab him
Complications: May be shot/injured and only have a limited time to keep hold of him before he escapes.
Graveyard → Gardens → Fountain → Vorlon
See the graveyard map and the Ball map
Solution
Whenever Jack glances in a direction, he will then move in that direction
Whenever Jack is in a direct line - vertical, horizontal or diagonal he will shoot Simon
Move so Jack is never in a direct line, or a gravestone is providing cover
Jack moves randomly, but the graveyard is limited in size and the only escape route he can use is out the way Simon came in (only Simon can enter the Gardens)
