Squad & Team Combat AI

A squad and team combat AI solution, without using behaviour tree's. The AI finds cover automatically in the world geometry and receives orders from the squad leader, like which targets to engage.

This AI system allows an infinite number of teams, composed by an infinite number of squads to battle each other. (To a limit caused by performance of course). With 2 combat behaviors, the AI can analyze the world geometry and find suitable cover automatically or it can charge its target with an aggressive movement, while shooting. The system also comes with example shooting, crouching, damage and animation system for the NPCs (And player, if pawn possessed by a player).
