  • Uses EditorGUILayout.MaskField multi-select dropdown

  • Shows "Everything" when all factions allowed (empty list internally)

  • Populates factions from CrowdController or discovers EnemyCrowd assets in project

Fixed

• HoldPosition Stance Attack Bug: HoldPosition agents now correctly attack enemies that come within range.

  • Fix: HoldPosition now uses engagement radius (or max attack range) instead of strict melee/ranged distance checks

  • Fix: HoldPosition now participates in positioning/slot assignment so attacks can trigger

  • Hybrid factions automatically switch activeHybridMode by distance (ranged if far, melee if close)

  • Attack cooldown resets when entering HoldPosition stance to prevent stale cooldowns

• Offensive Agents Stop After Being Hit: Offensive agents no longer stop after ranged hit-stun in developer mode.

  • Fix: Preserves attack targets during Hit and Blocking so agents resume combat after hit stun

  • Root cause: EnterCombatState cleared attackTargetTransform and attackTargetAgentIndex for non-Attacking states

• CrowdController CombatSystem Accessor: Added public CombatSystem property to EnemyMassesCrowdController.

  • Enables access to EnemyMassesCombatSystem and subsystems (e.g., StatusEffectSystem)

  • Note: EnemyMassesCombatSystem is a plain C# class, so GetComponent<>() cannot be used

• Spawn Around Target - Free Roam Flickering: Fixed idle/walk/run flicker during free roam patrol.

  • Fix: Sets destinations with useManualCommand: true to prevent formation overrides

  • Fix: Adds minimum travel time check before arrival detection

  • Fix: Uses NavMeshAgent remainingDistance and pathPending for robust arrival detection

  • Matches proven implementation from EnemyMassesSpawnPatrol

• Fixed CS0108 warning in NavMeshLinkClimbableEditor.cs (DrawHeader() hiding Editor.DrawHeader()) by adding the new keyword.

• Fixed missing #endregion in EnemyMassesRTSAI.cs causing CS1038 compiler error.

Version 1.4.1

9th Jan 2026

Fixed minor editor issue:

• Fixed CS0108 compiler warning in `NavMeshLinkClimbableEditor.cs` where `DrawHeader()` was hiding inherited member `Editor.DrawHeader()`. Added `new` keyword to explicitly indicate intentional hiding.

Version 1.4.0

9th Jan 2026

Navigation & Climbing

• New NavMeshLink-based climbing (replaces custom system) for better performance + reliability. New: NavMeshLinkClimbable (unified climbable; auto-generates NavMeshLinks) New: NavMeshLinkTraversalHandler (agent traversal + animation support) New: NavMeshLinkCrowdAnimationHandler (GPU Instancer Pro animation integration) Removed: ClimbingManager, ClimbCommandHandler Replaced: ClimbingController → NavMeshLinkTraversalHandler, ClimbableLadder/Wall → NavMeshLinkClimbable Inspector upgrades: modern custom inspector with organized foldouts

Combat Targeting (Vertical + LOS)

• Vertical targeting: agents can properly target enemies at different heights (better multi-level combat).

• Optional line-of-sight (LOS) validation: prevents attacking through walls/obstacles.

• New combat settings (Combat Settings > Vertical Targeting): maxTargetHeightDifference (0 disables; recommended ~3–5 for ground units) requireLineOfSight losCheckMode: EveryCheck, ClosestCandidatesOnly (recommended), Probabilistic (best for very large crowds) lineOfSightBlockingLayers (raycast layer mask)

RTS AI System

• New spawner: EnemyMassesSpawnAroundTarget (spawn within radius around a target Transform; supports waves/ambushes).

• New AI opponent controller: EnemyMassesRTSAI State machine: Idle → Attacking → Retreating → Baiting AoE threat detection + configurable aggression/retreat/rally behavior

• Spawner menu cleanup: moved to GameObject → Enemy Masses → Spawners

Networking

• Late-joiner sync: SendFullStateToClient() + automatic sync on OnClientConnected (batched RPCs) Full snapshot includes position, rotation, health, faction, owner

• Position sync upgrades: SyncCriticalState() now syncs position + health AgentFullState struct for complete transfers Configurable correction threshold to reduce jitter

• Relaxed co-op validation: distance tolerance option for hit validation (useful for co-op/horde vs competitive)

• Docs expanded: Game mode considerations (RTS vs Co-op/Horde) NavMeshAgent position synchronization Late-joiner synchronization Clearer guidance: command-based vs position-sync approaches

NGO (Netcode for GameObjects) P2P Host-Client Guide

• Added comprehensive NGO 2.7.0 P2P Host-Client integration documentation

  • Covers: architecture overview, built-in network events, command events, NetworkBridge pattern, CrowdAgent network properties

  • Documents event structs in Arawn.EnemyMasses.Runtime.Networking (Spawn/Damage/Death/Command/HealthChange/StateChange)

Combat Stance

• New stance: CombatStance.Passive No aggro, no attacking even when attacked Still moves/navigates/climbs normally Will attack only when given an explicit attack command

• API/UI: EnemyMassesRTSController.SetSelectedAgentsPassive() CrowdAgent.hasManualAttackCommand RTS selection panel: passiveButton, passiveClickSfx, HandlePassiveClicked()

Performance & Animation

• New performance preset tuned for 1000+ agents.

• Animation stability for large crowds: fixed glitch at 1000+ agents; improved GPU Instancer Pro batching.

• Animation/visibility improvements: Fog-hidden agents treated as offscreen (prevents stale animation state) Prioritized refresh queue to avoid starvation under throttling Throttling respected; disabled when preset is None New preset: Prioritized (visible-only animation rotation when throttling)

Fixes

• Fixed collection-modified exception when agents complete climbing.

• Fixed StuckRecoverySystem incorrectly triggering pathPending timeouts for climbing agents.

• Mecanim animator fallback is now try-catch wrapped (prevents crashes if parameters don’t exist).

• GPU Instancer animation path now correctly used when climb clips are assigned.

EnemyCrowd integration (Climbing Animations)

• New EnemyCrowd field: climbingAnimationConfig

• New editor foldout: Animations → Climbing Animations Compute Animator clips (up/down/left/right, mount/dismount, idle, fall) Mecanim parameters (bool/float/triggers) Timing (mount/dismount durations) Workflow-aware visibility (shows only fields relevant to the selected Animator workflow)

⚠️ Breaking Changes

None. All changes are additive and backward-compatible with existing single-player implementations.

---

🔜 Future Considerations

• Lag compensation for hit detection

• Server-side replay validation

• Encrypted network traffic support

• Match result verification system

---

📝 Migration Guide

For Single-Player Games: No changes required. The system defaults to local authority mode.

For Multiplayer Integration:

1. Implement the INetworkAuthorityProvider interface

2. Assign your implementation to NetworkAuthorityProvider.Instance

3. Subscribe to network events on controllers

4. (Optional) Add AntiCheatComponent for server-side protection

Version 1.1.0

30th Dec 2025 Added

• Player Targets list support in EnemyMassesCrowdController (multi-target, runtime add/remove helpers, list-aware accessors) + Setup Wizard UI and GC2 instructions.

• New demo scene: RTS-Feature-Demo-CrystalSave.

• Crystal Save integration: new Remember components to persist Enemy Masses runtime state:

• RememberEnemyMassesCrowd,

• RememberEnemyMassesRTSCommands,

• RememberRTSSelectionCommandPanel,

• RememberFogOfWarLite.

• Attack raycasts can pick props; attack events report targetIndex = -1 for props.

• Damageable props support (doors/objectives) via RTS attack commands:

• IEnemyMassesDamageable + EnemyMassesDamageableObject (health, events, optional disable/destroy).

• More GC2 events for RTS flow: Selection Changed, Agent Deselected, Selection Cleared, Move Command, plus a distance-based "On Agent In Range" event for colliderless agents.

• WebGPU GPUI shader patcher (TreeProxy vertex requirement) + Setup Wizard integration.

• Civil waypoints: new Lean and Sit waypoint types with reservable spots, interaction playback, durations, optional outro, editor support, and quick-create actions.

• Formation cycling while holding the command button (scroll wheel optional, dpad/keys, or axis).

• Social Interactions: optional start/end SFX and VFX per interaction.

• RTS UI: RTSSelectionCommandPanel with toggle + stance/stop buttons (Offensive/Defensive/Hold strict, Stop).

• Exposed renderer-binding controls in EnemyCrowd inspector (name field hidden when auto-find is enabled).

• Extended death FX config with renderer-binding options (bind toggle, prefer skinned, auto-find, optional name).

• Cache per-agent renderer selection during spawn for efficient binding.

Changed

• Auto-targeting for non-player factions now evaluates the nearest player target (not a single fixed target). Combat/spawn/trigger targeting is list-aware.

• RTS attack command events also report non-agent targets (prop attacks).

• RTS UI toggle renamed to "Strict Mode" (no legacy alias). Scenes/prefabs may need field reassignment.

• Formation preview improvements: better sampling for hollow shapes and spacing-aware density (still capped at 200 markers).

• Switching Hold to Offensive/Defensive force-exits ManualCommand.Stance behavior cleanup:

• Switching to Offensive/Defensive clears hold/manual/formation locks so units re-engage properly.

• Stop defaults selected agents back to non-strict Offensive.

• Attack clears hold/manual flags before chase so units engage immediately.

• Hold no longer cancels movement: units finish marching, then lock position and hold there.

• NavMesh safety: only resume (isStopped=false) when agents are on the NavMesh.

• Debug cleanup: removed HOLD DEBUG force navigation logs.

Fixed

• Aggroed agents can retarget to a closer player target within range (reduces ignored nearby players).

• Civil Waypoint "Add Activity" button now properly inserts a default activity entry (undo/dirty/refresh works).
