All Implemented Interfaces:

PriorityTask, Task

public class TowerCombatTask
extends DefaultTask
implements PriorityTask

The TowerCombatTask runs the AI for the WeaponTower class. The tower will scan for targets in a straight line from its center point until a point at (x + maxRange, y), where x,y are the cooridinates of the tower's center position. This component should be added to an AiTaskComponent attached to the tower instance.
