CowsinsAI.cs

You can find this script in Assets > CowsinsAI > Scripts

Basic Variables

• Current State - This is a read only enumerator which defines what state the AI is currently in (Idle, Search, Attack)

• AI Type - This defines how the AI will function (Enemy, NPC)

• Use Ragdoll - This allows the AI to ragdoll upon death view Tutorials to see how to set this up

If 'Use Ragdoll' is set to false, these variables will show:

-- Start --

• Use Death Animation - Will search for the 'Death' boolean in the Animator to trigger the animation upon death instead of using ragdoll

• Destroy After Time - A float will appear where you can set how long in seconds until the AI destroys itself to save performance

-- End --

• Dumb AI - This will make the AI act as sort of a dummy that you can shoot at and kill without it attacking you or moving

if 'Dumb AI' is set to false, these variables will show:

• Move Mode - Several options to choose from (Random Move, Waypoints, Idle)

  Random

  • Wander Radius - How far out the AI will go in one movement

  • Min Wander Distance - Minimum distance the AI should move from where the its' previous position was

  • Max Wander Distance - Maximum distance the AI should move from where its' previous position was

  • Wait Time Between Wander - After time has elapsed, it will move to a different position (Adjust this variable to fit your preference)

  Waypoints

  • Waypoints - This requires an empty gameObject in the scene with the Waypoints.cs script attached that has different locations predefined.

  • Waypoint Wait Time - After time has elapsed, it will move to the next waypoint in the list (Adjust this variable to fit your preference)

  Idle

  • No variables

• Search Radius - How far out the AI should search for the AI whilst in the 'Search' state

• Increase Sight on Attack - When enabled, the viewing angle for the AI will increase after provoked by player and in 'Search' state

• Attack Search Angle - Defines what radius the AI can see after being provoked by the player in the 'Search' state

• Search Angle - Defines what radius the AI can see

• Target Mask - The layer that the AI will use as the player's layer (hostile)

• Obstruction Mask - The layer(s) that the AI can not see the player through

• Search Wait Time - How long the AI will spend trying to find the player after losing sight

Combat Variables

• Enemy Type - Gives you two options to choose from for the enemy AI: Shooter, Melee

  Shooter

  • Type - Gives you two options to choose from as the enemy type: Hitscan, Projectile

    Hitscan

    • Bullet Trail - The GameObject with a line renderer that the AI will use

    • Spread Amount - The amount of spread the AI will use whilst firing so it won't laser you

    • Hit Mask - The layer that the AI will use to damage the player

    Projectile

    • Projectile - The GameObject the AI will use to spawn and damage the player

    Universal Combat Variables

    • Fire Point - The empty gameObject that the AI will use to fire the bullets from

    • Shooter Animator - The Animator the AI will use for the shooter animations

    • Shoot Distance - The distance of which the AI will stop at to start shooting at the player

    • In Shooting Distance - Boolean used for debugging to see if the AI is in an appropriate radius

    • Time Between Shots - Seconds elapsed before the next shot is fired

  Melee

  • Melee Distance - How close to the player the AI will get before attacking

  • Melee Animator - The Animator the AI will use for the melee animations

  • Wait Between Attack - Seconds elapsed before the next attack occurs

• Damage Amount - How much the AI will damage the player for

Debug Variables

• Shooting Distance Debug - When enabled and with 'gizmos' selected, you can visualize the radius used for shooting attacks

• Melee Distance Debug - When enabled and with 'gizmos' selected, you can visualize the radius used for melee attacks

• Can See Player Debug - When enabled and with 'gizmos' selected, you can see if the AI can see the player by a line being drawn between the AI and the player

• Search Radius Debug - When enabled and with 'gizmos' selected, you can visualize the radius used for search

Runtime Debug Variables

• Can See Player - Boolean used if the AI can see the player
