Excellent. This is essentially using the Flee setup example from the 3d Action Tutorial, yes?

I've had a little problem with understanding how to stack A.I in a good way. I started with the Chomper A.I from the tutorial, but I added some of the things from the Turn-based A.I and they went dumb. I'll play around with it and post an example if I have problems.

Sweet! I'm going to give that a try. That's quite exciting. My goal is to set up texture-based spawners for non-combat wildlife, more randomized combatants, and procedural generated levels, so terrain textures is perfect.
Here's what I imagine:
As the player moves through a scene, let's say a forest, I have spawners set to textures. Grass for various wildlife, and enemies on road tiles. Use the Combatant Despawner component to make them spawn and despawn around the player.
Then I'd have special spawners with a low chance to spawn, say 10%, that would spawn special/unique enemies or special merchants.
My goal is that I only have to set up spawners for special events and places outside of terrain textures.
