Description

Advanced Flock System: Realistic Fish School Simulation Made Easy and Efficient!

This plugin is perfect for creating a realistic fish school simulation. It is easy to use and utilizes multithreading for high performance.

Features:

  • Free Movement: Fish can move within a defined area (Box) or in open space.
  • Reactive Behavior: Fish respond to any primitive objects with collisions of any complexity and interact with any pawns or characters.
  • High Performance: The core code is implemented in C++. The main thread is responsible only for moving instances, while background threads handle all flock logic, allowing thousands of fish to be processed simultaneously while maintaining high FPS.
  • Flexible Settings: A wide range of parameters allows you to customize school behavior to your preference and achieve the desired effect.

The Advanced Flock System provides a powerful tool for creating dynamic and realistic fish schools in your project, making development easier and enhancing the gameplay experience.
