Move people during a session

People can be moved around the map by the session manager or an assigned player (People Controller).

To activate this functionality the manager or player needs to have the "PersonMoveControl" panel visible in their user interface.

This functionality is demonstrated in the demo configuration, \Demo\RescuePersons\P1C1-F2R1T1

In this demo session the manager and the player PC (People Controller) can move people.

It is located in: C:\C3LearningLabs\C3Fire\Client\SessionDef\Demo\RescuePersons\P1C1-F2R1T1

Configuration
