Combat

Purpose

Define the unit spawn parameters of opposing Blue and Red agents. Autonomous behaviors enable each side to navigate obstacles and engage via line-of-sight in order to reach a waypoint.

How to Use

During run-time, autonomous agents navigate around obstacles and engage the opposing side in order to reach a waypoint. It may be possible to add player input in conjunction with the ExampleAgentCommands script and SelectorUI prefab.

Setup Requirements 

Utilize the combat API for your scene by adding the ExampleCombat script and Waypoint_AutoAddToRide prefab. 

Waypoint_AutoAddToRide Prefab

First, import the Waypoint_AutoAddToRide prefab into your scene.

Note, the ExampleCombat scene places two instances of this object under Floor > SpawnAreas, renaming to “Marineside” and “InsurgentSide”. Recommend giving each a unique name in your scene. 

Under the Waypoint Mono script component, ensure Attribute set to “waypoint” and Flags set to “Blue_Spawner” in one object and “Red_Spawner” in the other if re-creating ExampleCombat scene. 

ExampleCombat Script

Next, add this script to an object in your scene to control the spawn behavior of units. The parameters are as follows:

• Spawn Time (Seconds between waves)
• Spawn Amount (Number of units in each wave)
• Max Waves (Number of waves to spawn in total before stopping)

Last, ensure Blue Spawner and Red Spawner selections match their respective waypoint objects in the scene.
