Group Entity Type
A CrowdGroupEntityType defines a group of characters in the crowd. Entities of the same group can navigate together.
Creating a Group Entity Type can be performed through the following options:
-
Crowd Shelf:
- Crowd Menu: CrowdGroupEntityType Node
- MEL command: glmCrowdGroupEntityTypeNodeCmd;
Configuration
Attributes of a Group Entity Type node.
| Group Type Id | Unique id of the relative Group Entity Type. |
| In Behavior Container | Behavior Container attached to this type. A Behavior Container is automatically created with a Group Entity Type |
| Display Color | color of the Group Entity belonging to this type |
RELATION WITH THE CROWD MANAGER
When a Group Entity Type is created, it is automatically registered in the Crowd Manager and, thus, is available to every Golaem node in the simulation
Sometimes you want to keep a base file with all your Group Entity Types, but only use some of them in your current scene. In these cases, it is possible to unregister a Group Entity Type so that it will not be used in the simulation. Alll that you have to do is to unmap it from the Crowd Manager.
