Technical details
GroupAI does not require programming knowledge.
------------------------------------------------------
1) Add the GroupAI_Entity component to a prefab gameObject, and add antennae to the component via a list of empty transforms (for obstacle avoidance).
2) Create a behavior settings file for the GroupAI_Entity component.
3) Add a GroupAI_Manager component to an empty transform.
4) Add the prefab (from step 1) to the GroupAI_Manager, and set the manager's other parameters to your liking/needs.
5) Modify/Tweak the GroupAI_Entity's behavior settings file(s). Best done in PLAY mode.
GroupAI is designed using a systems/data paradigm.
GroupAI is easy to extend. Example scenes and scripts are included.
Programming examples are simple and succinct.
GroupAI works with "regular" GameObjects.
DOTS and ECS are currently not implemented.
(planned for Unity 6 and backward compatible)
