Boid Particle Info Node
There is a great tool called Boid Particles where you can simulate crowds and even make them fight eachother. The only problem is, that you can give the charakters certain animations. To make this possible i would recommend a Boid Info Node:
The Boid Info node would work exactly like the Particle Info Node, except that it displays the following information: speed, health, whether it is attacked or attacks, or whether it flies, climbs or runs. And to have better controll over the Node you could add a Frame Node, that controls from which frame the information should be displayed.
I already made a Battle Simulation where an army is fighting a bunch of Creepers:
This would be such a great feature that would make it easier to create fighting crowds without using Maya or Houdini. I already tried CrowdSim3D but sadly, there is no way to make them fight each other.
I appreciate your work very much and hope that this feature will be added .
Thanks in advance,
