AI Animal Control

✔

Overview
This component is the bridge between the Animal Controller with the Unity  Navmesh system. 
The Animal uses the function Move(Vector3 Direction) to move around. 
This component moves the animal by using a target Position or Transform. It gets the Direction of the  the Navmesh Agent desired Velocity and feeds it into the Animal controller.
Is a basic way to move the animal around in an environment, using all the rules of a Navmesh like jumping, falling from a cliff or staying on the Navmesh. It can also interact automatically with Zones.
