# AI Target

## Overview

The Ai Target component is used to let the AI Animal know what is the Stopping distance of a target. When a transform is assigned as the target to follow, it will use the AI Target **Stopping distance** instead of the AI Animal Control[ **Default Stopping Distance**](https://malbersanimations.gitbook.io/animal-controller/main-components/ai-animal-control#stopping-distance)**.**

This is used to differentiate animals by its size. For example, a larger animal may have a larger stopping distance and therefore requires an override by using this component.

## Parameters

### Point Type

Is the Ai Target on the ground, water,  air or underwater

### Stopping Distance

Distance for AI driven animals to stop when it has arrived to the gameobject when is set as a Target.

### Slowing Distance

Distance for AI driven animals to start slowing it's speed when arriving to this gameobject. If set to 0 or lesser than the stopping distance, the slowing movement logic is ignored.

### Center

Offset to correct the center position of the gameobject.

### Height

Default height for the waypoints

### Arrive Look At

When the animal arrives to the target, do we rotate the animal so that it looks at the center of the AI target?

## Events

### On Target Arrived

Invoked when the target arrives to this gameobject
