Documentation | Discord

Ultimate Utility AI and influence maps contains thispackage and you can upgrade to it later on. For the first two weeks the upgrade is 50% off as well so instead of $100 you'll pay $50 and you'll pay $75 for the complete Utility AI, influence maps, blackboards, tag system and octree instead of the usual $150.
Influence maps allow you to do spatial queries and answer questions like:

• Where should I stand so I'm not too close to friends and too far from enemies?
• Where should I throw a grenade so I kill most enemies?
• Where are the paths cargos usually travel so I send the criminal bands to steel their goods?
• Where should I build the next house in relation to current population density and house density in my procedural generation map

Wise Feline influence maps allows you to answer these sorts of questions efficiently and is compatible with Wise Feline Utility AI as well. The ultimate version of Utility AI contains influence maps and this package is upgradable to that by paying the price difference.
You store the effect of an agent/object/action on a map as a stamp and then can search for map parts with high values, low values, averages and .... You can combine different maps with each other and then query them for specific values around a point or check a point's value. Maps can have any resolution you desire and operations like normalizing, multiplying and adding maps to each other is supported by default. In addition to these you get access to the raw arrays if need be.

The documentation can be found here
The current version of the asset uses C# float 2d arrays but we are migrating to native arrays and will support burst in a future version.
The plugin has

• Minimum allocations: you can re-use your older arrays when you combine multiple maps again
• High performance
• Is very simple and flexible and can work with any other sort of AI system
• Has fast discord and email support

 

v1.7.0 is released which contains multiple fixes. Also AddInverse method is added and now you can multiply two maps with each other too.
There is a new overload for all operation which takes a strength variable and multiplies your second map with the strength value before doing the operation.
