The **AI Behavior Manager (AC\_AI\_BehaviorManager)** component is responsible for managing AI states (such as Idle, Patrolling, Random Roam, Investigating, Combat, etc.), ensuring smooth transitions between them. Additionally, the component allows for **fine-tuning** AI behavior through various **configurable parameters**.
It is added to the **Soulslike Enemy (B\_Soulslike\_Enemy)** class by default.
### **How It Works**
* **Behavior Tree Initialization**
* On **Begin Play**, the component checks if the AI has a valid **Behavior Tree** assigned.
* If a **Patrol Path** is present, the AI starts in a **Patrolling** state immediately.
* Otherwise, it defaults to the **Idle** state.
* **State Management**
* The component dynamically adjusts the AI's **state** based on environmental triggers (e.g., detecting the player, being attacked).
* State changes are handled through the **SetState** method, ensuring smooth transitions between behaviors.
* **Fine-Tuning AI Behavior**
* The following parameters allow for **custom AI tuning**:
* **MaxChaseDistanceThreshold:** Maximum distance AI will chase a target before stopping.
* **AttackDistanceThreshold:** The distance at which AI will initiate an attack.
* **StrafeDistanceThreshold:** Controls how far the AI must be from its target for strafing.
* **SpeedAdjustDistanceThreshold:** Adjusts AI movement speed based on distance to the target.
* **MinimumStrafePointDistance:** The minimum distance for strafing logic.
* **StrafeMethods:** Defines how AI will strafe (e.g., directional preferences).
* **Event Based Blackboard Updates**
* The component is responsible for **adjusting Blackboard values** to ensure the AI’s **Behavior Tree** reacts correctly to its state.
* **Target & Patrol Tracking**
* The **SetTarget()** function updates AI’s **current target** (e.g., player or other AI).
* The **SetPatrolPath()** function assigns a patrol route.
