Re: Supressive fire
A rough framework:
Define a vector3 that can store the target's position (plus half to 60% of its height)
In its see and attack states, have it check if the target is in sight, and:
1. if the target is in sight, update that vector3 and continue to the rest of its see/attack state
2. if NOT in sight, randomly continue to the rest of its see/attack state OR go to its suppressive fire state
In its suppressive fire state, face towards that stored vector3 and make an attack (making sure the appropriate flags are set so it doesn't autoaim the target).
Once that attack sequence is finished, check if the target is in sight, as above.
