[Plugins] WIP Horde Framework

[tuatec]

Hi [USER=“1840444”]CatBit Thorium[/USER],
thank you already that you like my project!

Especially working with multiple capsule sizes. Dont know if you are aware of it, but unreals detour crowd controller can only handle one capsule size. Pawns with different capsule size, which should pick a different nav agent, can’t move at all, because detour crowd controller only works with one nav agent.

So far I didn’t had issues, I only use small variations in size (90% or 110%) currently. But the HoidAI plugin already takes care of it as it is needed to draw same debug shapes. Moreover, the equation for obstacle avoidance will need the size of the obstacle so I will take care of it while implementing it.
I would be highly interested if you saw more limitations. Thanks a lot for that hint!

I don’t know if you can see this limitation here: Horde Game | UE4 Devlog #1, I’m using root motion animations and a derived class from the detour crowd controller so far all agents seem to move.

I am not having performance problems with the crowd controller

How many agents do you process at once? My goal is 500 visible on the screen .

Also for performance checks, always make a shipping or test build for that. You will get very different results than in editor.

Yes I was experimenting with this yesterday and it makes a huge difference if you use the development and the shipping build compared to the editor build. Moreovoer, I saw a minor difference between the shipping package and development package.
