All Implemented Interfaces:
PriorityTask, Task
public class CooldownTask extends DefaultTask implements PriorityTask
A cooldown task that activates after a chase has ended. When activated, the entity remains idle for a set cooldown duration, then teleports back to either: - The start of its patrol route (if one exists) - Its original spawn position (if no patrol route exists) This ensures drones reset to their initial state instead of beelining back manually.
