## How it works

It will listen to the states this character has, and if the character activates **Death** State it will reset the Animal Controller after a given time. It also teleports the animal to this GameObject position.

&#x20;

## Parameters

### NPC

&#x20;Reference for the AI Animal.&#x20;

You can assign a Prefab here, without having an animal on the scene.  This will automatically instantiate the animal on Start.

### Respawn State

State on which the Animal will be respawned. If this parameter is empty. it will use the Default State (Idle)

### Respawn Time

Time needed to restart the game or respawn the animal, after the animal died.

### Destroy After Respawn

If the NPC is a Prefab. It will leave behind the Death Animal mesh. Set true this parameter to remove the dead character.

### On Restart Game

Invoked when the Scene is restarted.
