All Implemented Interfaces:
PriorityTask, Task
public class BombPatrolTask extends DefaultTask implements PriorityTask
Task that makes an entity move through a sequence of waypoints, pausing briefly at each. The entity patrols back and forth along its route, reversing direction when it reaches the end, and repeats this indefinitely. Requires the entity to have a PatrolRouteComponent which defines the set of waypoints to follow. Note: This task only controls behaviour during the patrol itself. Resetting the entity back to its starting waypoint (e.g. after switching from chase mode back to patrol) is handled separately by a cooldown task. For full patrol-chase-cooldown cycles, both tasks should be added to the entity's AITaskComponent.
