PD Combat Drone AI

Creating intelligent, challenging enemies that can navigate and fight in true 3D space is a massive undertaking. PD Combat Drone AI is a complete, production-ready solution that turns your 3D models into formidable opponents. Featuring an advanced tactical state machine and a physics-based flight controller, this asset provides everything you need to build enemies that patrol, investigate, hunt, and engage in dynamic combat.

Note: This is an expansion package. It requires the Advanced 3D Pathfinding solution to function.

Key Features

• Effortless Setup Wizard 🧙‍♂️ Go from a simple 3D model to a fully configured combat drone in seconds. Our intuitive editor wizard automates the entire setup process—adding components, configuring physics, and linking all necessary references—saving you hours of manual work.
• Advanced Tactical State Machine 🧠 This isn't just a "follow-the-player" script. The drone operates on a robust state machine, moving seamlessly between patrolling, investigating suspicious events, chasing targets, and executing complex combat logic.
• Physics-Based Flight Controller ✈️ Feel the weight and power of your drones. The custom PD flight controller delivers responsive, stable, and satisfying physics-based movement. It includes automatic visual tilting and rotor animations for maximum realism.
• Dynamic Combat Behavior 🔥 Create enemies that are a genuine threat. The AI is programmed with advanced combat routines: maintaining optimal attack range, strafing to evade fire, firing weapons in tactical bursts, and using predictive aiming to lead moving targets.
• Highly Customizable ⚙️ Tailor every aspect of the drone's behavior. A clean and commented inspector gives you full control over flight characteristics, weapon properties (rate of fire, projectile speed), sensing parameters (sight range, FOV), patrol routes, and more.
