AI not detecting game objects with tags under Detect Layer

[longshotsg]

Hi,

I'm using Third Person Controller Shooter 2.5.6b and FSM AI 1.1.5b
I have a problem where 2 AI of different tags "CustomA" and "CustomB" are not able to detect each other.
Both have capsule colliders.

Below are my configurations:

CustomA AI:
Under Layers to Detect:
Detect Layer: Nothing
Detect Tag: CustomB
Obstacles: Default

Min distance to detect:0
Field of View: 360

CustomB AI:

Under Layers to Detect:

Detect Layer: Nothing

Detect Tag: CustomA

Obstacles: Default



Min distance to detect:0

Field of View: 360


So I went in to the FSM AI Example scene "FSM_AI_Examples" and run the scene.
AI - CivilianAgressive will NOT detect player(me) if I had not attacked them first.
I checked the FSM debugger that the Can See Target value is false.
It worked only after I attacked them.
But that's not what I expected. I expected them to see me, then decide if they want to attack me.
But they are not seeing me at all.

Are there any issues with the AI asset? Or am I missing some key component not written in the documentations?
Thanks.

make sure your objects have the vhealthcontroller component so they can be detected by the AI.
Use the AI FSM_Melee or FSM_Shooter, the civilians will not attack unless they attack first.
Also try to place the same label and the same layer.

Thanks denvzla for the reply.
I'll try the other AI FSM types.

But I'm more interested in understanding why it does not work.
The basic vControl AI has the health tab which I think is the vhealthcontroller component,
Regardless of which AI type, detecting based on line of sight looks like a very basic feature. I should detect whether I'm civilian or hostile?

Thanks.

Emailed Invector team and they replied quickly.
It's the "FindTarget" action that detects based on the tags and layers.
It's in the Melee FSM. That's why it worked but not the Civilian FSM.
Cheers.
Thanks.
