Welcome to the Tactical Crowd AI Toolkit!
This plugin enables the creation of large-scale AI systems that make informed destination and navigation decisions using influence maps.
Designed for performance, it scales to hundreds or thousands of simultaneous units, making it ideal for crowd-level decision making.

What are Influnece Maps?
An influence map is a world-space grid that accumulates values like threat, attraction, or scent over time.
AI units don’t ask questions like “Is this spot good?” -- they sample the influence map and react instantly. This approach scales extremely well for hundreds of agents, where EQS or per-AI decision logic becomes a bottleneck.
Influence maps have historically been widely used in real-time strategy (RTS), simulation, war games, and other large-scale encounters. With this toolkit, you can apply the same techniques in Unreal without reinventing the system yourself.

Key features include:

• Includes an Influence Volume and Influence Source Component to create influence maps with just a few clicks.

• Computes influence maps every tick, dynamically switching between GPU and CPU based on detected bottlenecks.

• Built-in 2.5D spatial queries including vision occlusion tests, height-aware sampling, and navigability checks.

• Supports composite operations on base influence maps, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, normalization, etc.

• Provides intuitive Blueprints and Behavior Tree Services and Tasks to asynchronously query influence maps.

• Debugging tools, Visual Logger, and Unreal Insights support

• High performance
