Key Features

• []Adaptive AI Behavior: When you look at an enemy, they maintain a standard combat rhythm. When they are out of your view, they become proactive and close the distance.[/]

  []Arena Utility: Use Auto-Despawn in the BoneMenu to keep the arena floor clean.[/]

  []Warning: This is intended for manual NPC wave spawning. Using this in official Arena game modes may interfere with round completion triggers. Use at your own risk.[/]

For Mod Developers

To ensure your custom NPCs are compatible with Advanced Combat, your implementation must utilize the standard Unity NavMeshAgent component.

• []Integration Requirements: The

  NavMeshAgentmust be accessible via

  GetComponentInChildren<NavMeshAgent>().[/]

  []Conflict Warning: Do not hardcode movement speeds or override

  agent.speed / agent.accelerationin your own scripts, as this will conflict with our injection logic.[/]

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• []Q: Does this work with Fusion (Multiplayer)? A: Unknown. I am a solo developer and cannot test this in multiplayer environments. If you choose to test it, please report your findings to the official support channel.[/]

  []Q: Is this compatible with Quest? A: This mod was built for PCVR using MelonLoader. Functionality on other loaders (like LemonLoader) is not guaranteed.[/]

  []Q: Is this compatible with other mods? A: Conflicts may occur with any mod that modifies NPC movement speeds, forces specific AI behavior, or handles object pooling/cleanup.[/]

  []Q: Will you patch issue? A: I prioritize game-breaking bugs. Minor quirks or compatibility issues with specific NPC mods may remain as-is depending on the complexity of the conflict.[/]

Development & Transparency

About the Code: I am a solo developer primarily experienced in Python and Bash. To bridge the gap into C# and the BONELAB modding environment, I utilized AI as a collaborator for syntax structure and resolving complex compilation errors. The core logic and architectural decisions remain my own, refined through this collaborative process.
