AI Spawner

AI Spawner

Spawns AI units. The object boundary must intersect the nav mesh, to see the Nav Mesh data toggle the Nav Mesh Visualization to ON in the Tool Settings menu. Up to 32 AI units and 4 Phantoms can exist at a time, but runtime budgets may decrease this limit.

Remarks

This is comparable to the spawning of a player in how the units are produced.
