Boatai

Overview​

The Boatai component provides artificial intelligence for a boat entity. Its primary responsibility is to scan for other boats in the vicinity. If it detects a nearby boat with its sail raised, it will automatically raise its own sail and adjust its heading to follow the target boat. This creates a "follow the leader" behavior among AI-controlled boats.

Main Functions​

OnUpdate(dt)​

  • Description: Called every update frame by the game engine. It scans a 200-unit radius for other entities. If it finds another boat with its sail raised, this component's boat will raise its own sail and calculate a new wind_direction to move towards and follow the target boat.
  • Parameters:
    • dt (number): The time elapsed since the last update, in seconds.
