I'm attempting to manage the speed of my AI character. It has an UCC Locomotion script with the Nav Mesh Agent Movement ability attached. My goal is that I can adjust the Nav Mesh Agent > Speed parameter (Unity's native script) as the game plays. I'm testing this behavior with the sample script in the Set Destination sample of https://opsive.com/support/document...ies/included-abilities/navmeshagent-movement/
I am not using Root Motion Position in the UCC Locomotion Motor. Although ultimately I will do that.
However, adjusting this value has no effect on the AI's movement. I think I know why, but want confirmation or alternatives prior to modifying the UCC source.
In NavMeshAgentMovement > Update - Lines 152 - 163; the NavMeshAgent desiredVelocity and velocity fields are properly read from the Nav Mesh Agent. However, at line 163, they are normalized against the look direction. This results in a forward velocity of 1 on the InputVector (assuming your AI is already facing the target). Perhaps a clamp to 1 instead of always normalizing is one approach to this.
Rough test:
velocity = Quaternion.Inverse(lookRotation) * direction;
