change enemy state from idle to patrolling

[karate]

I am trying to get the enemy to start as idle and then change to patrol waypoints after a particular amount of time. How do i do this?

You can use the vEventsWithDelay to trigger an event that calls a method to change the behavior after a period of time

[karate]

could you tell me which method i should use to change the behavior?

[karate]

is there a pre-written method to change the enemy's current state or will i have to write one into the AI controller script?

what are the lines of code if i have to write it manually?

[Invector]

You can change the health using the method ChangeHealth.
Are you using the FSM AI Template or the Simplee Melee AI included in the MeleeCombat package?

There are no methods to change the current state for the Simple Melee AI, but it's very easy to add 
Just open the v_AIController script and add these methods:


public virtual void ChangeStateToIdle()
       {
           currentState = AIStates.Idle;
       }

       public virtual void ChangeStateToPatrolWaypoints()
       {
           currentState = AIStates.PatrolWaypoints;
       }


You can call them using events via inspector or other scripts.
