Movement Modifier

The MovementModifier is a special abstract component that can modify the movement of the SimpleAgent by adding acceleration in a certain direction.

Avoidance Modifier

The AvoidanceModifier is a built-in MovementModifier component that provides a simple avoidance behavior.

To begin, add the AvoidanceModifier component to the agent's game object.

Inspector Property	Description
Strength (Inherited)	The ratio between the acceleration added by the modifier and the maximum acceleration of the SimpleAgent.
Radius	The avoidance radius for the agent.
Height	The avoidance height for the agent.
AvoidanceGroup	The group to which the object belongs.

Agents avoid collisions with objects belonging to the same group as themselves. To create an AvoidanceGroup, right click on the project window and select from the list: AlchemyBow/Navigation/AvoidanceGroup.

Note

If you add the AvoidanceModifier component to non-agent game objects, actual agents will avoid them.

You should know

• If you add the MovementModifier component via run-time scripts, you need to call ReloadMovementModifiers() on the target agent.
• The AvoidanceModifier provides a very simple implementation of an avoidance behaviour. Movement modifiers allow you to create more sophisticated solutions with custom shapes or predictions. (For example, SimpleAgent implements the ISteeredBehaviour interface that can be used for predictions.)
