# Point Click

The Point Click component allows for AI animals to move with point-click movement - similar to what you would find in a MOBA or a Top Down RPG - you click, the events fire.

It's not just limited to that though, you can be creative and use the events for other purposes too unrelated to movement!

## Requirements

* It needs an AI Control component and an AI agent already attached to the character.

* A Unity Event System needs to be on the scene. This will send all the click events to the script.

* Every clickable surface that the animal can walk, needs to have an event Trigger Event with a Pointer Click with the next setting:

* Zones and Interactables components do not need the Event trigger - Pointer Click

## How to Set it Up

In the same AI Control gameobject, add it by searching for Point Click, or by going to Add Component -> Malbers -> AI -> Point Click

This automatically connects all the events and parameters to the AI Control component.

## Parameters

### Point Click Data

Scriptable Object used to record all the Events from the Event trigger - Pointer Click in every clickable surface and this component.&#x20;

### Radius

Radius to find a possible target nearby when clicking on an empty surface. Possible targets can be a Zone, Interactable, or another animal.&#x20;

### Clear Target

When the animal has a target already assigned, it will clear the current target on the AI control component if the next click is on an empty surface.
