Combat Pathing Revolution

Issue Descriptions:

The melee combat pathing AI of vanilla skyrim was only designed for the skating attack mechanism, It used a single generic AI data for all types of enemies in game, which caused the lacking of diversity and extending, thus it now fail to match those modern action game moveset that introduced by MCO or any other modern action game framework.

Therefore, Combat Pathing Revolution (refer as CPR) is created to fill in this missing piece of the puzzle.

Mod Features:

CPR introduces a dynamic and highly customizable AI pathing framwork for melee combat, It allows modern action moveset designers to apply specialized pathing AI data for his moveset, to make skyrim npcs moving in combat as those in modern action games. There are four types of AI moving behavior that CPR allow for customize:

• []Advance: decided how AI perform when approaching it combat target.

  []Backoff: decided how AI perform when short distance retreating from it combat target.

  []Circle: decided how AI perform when circling it combat target.

  []Fallback: decided how AI perform when long distance retreating from it combat target.
