Chat System

The system allows for pausing of NPC's while they are at work, this is done by using the 'AIDataBoard' 'SetPaused' function. This system pauses the timer and the LookAt data for the current action and will reapply it after the 'Pause' is cancelled. The function takes two parameters, 'pause' and 'newLookAt'. Pause is the new state, newLookAt is where the NPC will look during the pause. The recommended approach is to have a script attached the the NPC prefab which when the player interacts with the NPC will call the 'SetPaused' function and then fire off the chat system you wish to use. After this is done then the chat system can make the same function call to resume their work.

Nav Mesh Agent

The navmesh agent is set to work through an interface system. For reference on setup you can follow 'UnityNavMeshAgent' which is how the basic Unity System is implemented.

1. Create a new class which inherits from 'INavMeshAgent'
2. Add an entry to NAV_MODE' enum
3. Within 'SettingsLoader' function 'LoadNavMeshAgent' add to the switch statement for the new type. This should create an object of the class which inherits from 'INavMeshAgent'
4. Set the new mode in the Overview manager
