Mob Components¶

Overview¶

Mob components attach to AMIPBaseMob and provide base behavior, aggro sphere, movement, nameplate, and spawner placement. UMIPBaseMobComponent is a minimal base that exposes GetBaseMob(). UMIPMobAggroNearbyPlayerSphere is a sphere component for aggro range. UMIPMobCharacterMovementComponent customizes mob movement. UMIPMobNameplateWidgetComponent is a widget component for the mob nameplate. UMIPMobPlayerStartComponent is a spawner component that places mobs (like a PlayerStart for mobs).

Key traits:

UMIPBaseMobComponent – Base for mob logic; subclasses add health (UMIPMobHealthComponent), loot, etc.
UMIPMobHealthComponent – See Health; initializes when mob calls it; on death gives EXP and loot.
Aggro, movement, nameplate, and spawner are optional per-mob setup.

UMIPBaseMobComponent¶

Base: UActorComponent.
Attachment: AMIPBaseMob.
Helper: GetBaseMob() (protected) – returns owning mob actor. Subclasses use this for mob info, loot, etc.

UMIPMobAggroNearbyPlayerSphere¶

Base: USphereComponent (or similar collision component). ClassGroup "Collision".
Role: Defines aggro range; when players enter/exit, mob can start/stop combat or reset (e.g. UMIPMobHealthComponent::ResetMobHealthComponent when aggro out of range).

UMIPMobCharacterMovementComponent¶

Base: Likely UCharacterMovementComponent. Custom movement for mobs (speed, behavior).

UMIPMobNameplateWidgetComponent¶

Base: UWidgetComponent (or custom widget component). Displays mob name/health bar above the mob.

UMIPMobPlayerStartComponent¶

Base: Scene/actor component; ClassGroup "Spawner". Used in level to define mob spawn points; game mode or spawner logic places AMIPBaseMob at these locations.

Integration¶

UMIPMobHealthComponent – On death calls GiveMobEXPRewardsAndKill; uses UMIPLootDefinitionAsset for loot; see Health.
UMIPBaseModeComponent – OnMobSpawned(BaseMob), OnMobDestroyed; wave/session modes track spawned mob count.
Quest system can use UMIPEliminateMobQuestTask for kill objectives.
