Give your AI the intelligence to survive. Elevate your game's combat from simple "run and shoot" to dynamic, tactical encounters.Tactical Cover & Retreat AI 3.0: Combat Execution, Squads & Advanced TacticsTurn your AI from simple target practice into a coordinated tactical squad.The Tactical Cover & Retreat AI System has evolved. Version 2.0 and 2.5 established the full Tactical AI Brain—empowering agents to flank, coordinate in formations, breach rooms, avoid "fatal funnels," and react to bullet penetration and suppressive fire.Now, Version 3.0 bridges the gap between searching for cover and actively executing combat in cover. Your agents no longer just reach cover and wait—they dynamically adapt their stance (crouch vs. stand), peek around corners to return fire, detect enemy flankers proactively, vault low barricades, and execute synchronized squad maneuvers.Built on Unity’s Job System and Burst Compiler, this is the highest-performance tactical query engine on the store, capable of handling dozens of intelligent agents with zero frame drops.🔥 What’s New in 3.0?⚔️ Combat & Posture Execution:Auto-Stance Recommendation (DesiredStance): Automatically signals your animator whether the agent must crouch behind low obstacles (crates, sandbags) or stand behind tall cover based on cover flags.Corner Peek Queries (TryGetBestPeekDirection): Evaluates left/right cover corners for clear line-of-sight to the player, allowing agents to lean out, shoot, and duck back in without leaving safety.Proactive Flank Warnings (IsFlanked): Alerts the AI when enemies cross its cover line (>90° angle), enabling smart scrambles before taking damage.Obstacle Vaulting (CanVaultCover): Validates if low cover can be hopped over and computes the exact landing coordinate on the NavMesh for aggressive units.Live Agent Suppression Meter (SuppressionLevel & IsSuppressed): Real-time 0.0–1.0 pinned-down state on individual agents with automated decay.🛡️ Synchronized Squad Maneuvers:Dynamic Fireteam Splitting (AssignFireteams): Automatically divides any squad into a base-of-fire suppression element and a flanking maneuver element.Tactical Maneuver Orders (ExecuteManeuver): Command synchronized squad behaviors: SuppressAndFlank, BoundingOverwatch, TacticalFallBack, and HoldPerimeter.Shared Squad Threat Memory (BroadcastSquadThreat): Instantly shares target coordinates across the squad hivemind.🎯 3 New Tactical Scorers:ZoneControlStateScorer: Prioritizes spots based on friendly, contested, or hostile tactical zone control.VaultOpportunityScorer: Rewards vaultable cover for rushers, shotgunners, and aggressive flankers.SensoryTypeScorer: Granular auditory disturbance filtering (investigate gunshots vs. ignore subtle footsteps).🔍 Environment & Agent Validator Tool:A dedicated diagnostic window (Tools > Maharaja Studio > Tactical Cover And Retreat AI > Environment Validator) that inspects scene geometry, unbaked NavMesh, agent configurations, self-occlusion hazards, and dead scorers in milliseconds.Features a Smart Grouped View and one-click Auto-Fix All with full Undo (Ctrl+Z) support.Key Features🚀 Blazing-Fast Asynchronous CoreZero Main-Thread Lag: Heavy tactical calculations and spatial checks are offloaded to worker threads using Unity’s C# Job System and Burst Compiler.Scalable: Run detailed tactical queries for 50+ agents simultaneously without stuttering.Hybrid Mode: Includes a Synchronous fallback for simple projects or debugging.🤝 Squad & Team CoordinationDon't let your AI fight alone. The system ensures agents act as a unit:Formations: Agents move in Wedge, Line, File, Diamond, or Vee formations relative to a leader.Reservation System: Prevents the "Musical Chairs" bug—agents will never try to hide in a spot already claimed by a squadmate.Crossfire & Safety: Agents avoid blocking allied lines of fire and maintain tactical spacing.Synchronized Maneuvers (New in 3.0): Order coordinated pincer attacks, bounding advances, and fireteam suppression.⚔️ Combat Execution & In-Cover Actions (New in 3.0)Dynamic Stance: Automatically crouch behind low cover and stand behind high cover.Corner Leaning: Take shots from around corners while keeping body mass concealed.Flank Scramble: Detect when an enemy crosses the cover line and relocate before getting shot.Barricade Vaulting: Aggressive units vault low fences and obstacles to press the assault.🧠 40+ Tactical Scorers (The Brain)Define unique AI personalities (Sniper, Rusher, Cautious Scout, Aggressive Flanker) by weighting different modular scorers. The AI evaluates spots based on:Survival: Bullet Penetration (thickness check), Skylining (silhouette avoidance), Fatal Funnels (doorway avoidance), Wall Hugging, and Suppression Pressure.Offensive: High Ground, Rear Attack Bonus, Push Forward, Aggressive Line-of-Sight, Weapon Range Sweetspots (Gaussian curves), and Flank Exposure Risk.Stealth & Awareness: Shadow hiding (Light Probes), Audio Stimulus (investigate sounds), and Player Gaze avoidance (don't run where the player is aiming).Prediction: Uses velocity analysis to predict where the player will be, preventing "ghost" target errors.Zone Control (New in 3.0): Scores spots based on friendly vs. hostile tactical zone ownership.📍 15+ Spot Providers (The Eyes)How does the AI find spots?Automatic Cover: Finds cover without manual tagging.CQB & Indoors: Door Stacking, Corner Edge (leaning), Room Clearance ("Slice the Pie"), and Choke Points.Tactical: Flank Points, Pincer Formation, Vantage / Elevation Anchors (sniping perches), and Shadows.Designer Authoring: Tactical Zones and Cover Nodes for manual control.🛠️ Professional ToolingEnvironment & Agent Validator (New in 3.0): Preflight diagnostic window that verifies NavMesh baking, layer masks, and dependencies with 1-click auto-fixes.Tactical Debugger Pro: "See what the AI sees." Visualize candidate spots, color-coded score heatmaps, and rejection reasons in the Scene View.AI Profiler: Detailed timeline view of every search request, separating Main Thread time from Job time, so you can optimize perfectly.🎨 Designer-Friendly WorkflowEmpower level designers to control the battlefield without writing code:Tactical Zones: Drag & drop volumes to mark "Ambush Zones," "Flank Routes," or "Defensive Lines."Cover Nodes: Manually place high-value cover spots with stance tags and vaulting flags.Hazards: Mark fire, traps, or open kill-zones as hazards the AI must avoid.How It WorksGenerate: The Agent uses Providers (e.g., BehindObstacleProvider, DoorStackProvider, FlankPointProvider) to find potential spots in the world.Score: The Job System calculates a score for every spot using weighted criteria (Visibility, Distance, Squad Separation, Zone Control, etc.).Execute: The Agent picks the best spot, navigates via NavMesh, assumes the recommended stance (DesiredStance), monitors for flanks (IsFlanked), and peeks around corners to engage.What's Included?Core Systems: Multithreaded Job Engines, Squad Coordinator, Hazard Registry, Environment Validator.Full C# Source Code: Clean, modular, fully commented, and extensible.Demo Scenes: Fully configured playgrounds showing Squads, Flanking, CQB Room Clearance, and Combat Execution in action.Documentation: Comprehensive upgrade guides, quick-start tutorials, and API documentation.Support & CommunityWe are committed to the long-term support of this tool.Discord: Join the Community for fast support and tactical discussions.Documentation: Read detailed documentation here.maharajastudiocustomerservice@gmail.comEmail:📷(Demo scenes include CC0-licensed animations from the Universal Animation Library by Quaternius).Upgrade your AI from "Target Dummy" to a coordinated "Tactical Threat" today.Built for performance with Unity's Job System, Burst, and Native Collections.Requires Unity 2021.3 LTS or newer.Compatible with all render pipelines (Built-in, URP, HDRP).
