SoulLink AI Alpha 0.9.8a is now available for testing:  

• Removed manual entry of number of idle or hit animations. 
• Added code to automatically determine number of idle, hit, or death animations. 

NOTE: You may install on top of previous release, but please observe previous precautions to protect your personal data and prefabs.

Note: You can install over top of older version, but always backup your custom prefabs and databases. 

Special Note: This fixes the issue with build not working, but as a consequence, any AI prefabs you have already created, you must go into the SoulLinkAIUnit component and set the num hit animations and num death animations. Future built Ai will set this automatically so this is only for already existing prefabs.

Be aware that all tasks now default to Pause Wandering when they execute, which means it will automatically pause wandering when that task executes and restore wandering when the task is complete. If this is not the desired behavior for any of your tasks, make sure to uncheck this flag on those tasks.
