            Ok, I'm a silly little mouse. I have no idea what these 
            meta-properties people are talking about are. I know they are used 
            on guards and such to get results like ignoring the player untill 
            provoked correctly and such.
            Can someone explain basically what these are, and perhaps how they 
            work?

            Hi guy
            ok,i'll try to explain but my english is not good,so...
            Meta property are caracteristics that u can enable or disable after 
            a certain event.
            For exemple,add the meta M-HeardAlarm to a guard,so he will react 
            only when the alarm is ringing.here is an exemple:
            -build 2 rooms
            -put 1 switch connected to an alarm (use link ControlDevice) in the 
            first room,then a guard in the second room.
            -Add a marker in the middle of the first room
            -edit caracteristiques of the guard then add him a Meta: 
            M-HeardAlarm.
            -INSIDE this meta-propertie,add the AI response signal.Configure it 
            like this alarm;High;Add/remove Meta;Remove;M-HeardAlarm;Goto object 
            (your marker);enable investigate)
            Now,if u press the alarm,the guard comes and investigate.But if u 
            hadn't remove the meta-property M-HeardAlarm after the guard heard 
            the alarm for the first time,he would continu to go to the marker 
            without stopping (the AI make a loop).
            Ok,if u're still confused,just send me a mail and i will send u a 
            small tutorial mission with it
