📌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:

Point Click is a Sriptable Object that connects the surfaces with the Point Click component

• 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.
