Creature Melee AI

Creature Melee AI (CMAI) is a reusable creature-AI framework for Arma Reforger. A Character-compatible entity can acquire an eligible hostile Character, pursue it continuously through native navigation, and request an attack through a replaceable attack contract.


AUTHORING
Create a creature from one inherited prefab and one inherited settings file. CMAI owns the common targeting, pursuit, scheduler, damage-request, cleanup, and replication infrastructure while a project can replace the creature presentation and attack behavior.


INTEGRATION
Public settings, APIs, and capability hooks support independent creature projects. Optional Slow, Hunter, and Fast examples are supplied for sandbox testing. Their Game Master cards use the non-playable Melee AI faction and remain disabled unless a maintainer deliberately enables the single integration switch.


SCOPE
CMAI depends only on the Arma Reforger Base Game. Project Outbreak is not required. CMAI does not provide a spawner, wave manager, population director, or scenario lifecycle; those remain responsibilities of the consuming project.
