Okay, so right now whenever my spawner spawns my models, there is no framerate drop, but the second they start moving(I came into range and they started to chase me) it lags my game. It cuts it practically in half(with 4 spawned. I go from 80fps to 40, with 8 spawned down to 20-25 fps). I am going to post the script, see anything I can alter to make it not lag so bad?

Using character controller is not a good choice for AI its pretty nasty resource wise. Switching it out for rigidbody and capsule collider I guarantee you can get a bunch more then 8.
I had this issue a ways back. I could get about 20 before it started dropping fps. Switched it over to rigidbody and capsule and I was able to get 300+. Upwards of 600 with 30fps.
Also you use plenty SendMessage which is known for its poor performances. It really isn’t much hasle to replace it with proper references to object/method delegates…
Simply add the script with thoose methods as a private variable and gather it with GetComponent() then call the methods directly and you’ll gain a lot of execution speed.
May I be curious why you have 2 “myTransform” variables ?
Haha, well I am new at programming, so I didn’t realize i had that when I did that and now have one gone. Going to post my new code in a sec as I’m stuck on a new problem
Okay, I have now fixed the AI with the rigid bodies, but now they just play their walk animation, but just sit there. will post gif along with this so you get an idea along with a picture of the scripts in the editor.

300?! I am now using navmeshagent, but whenever my animation plays, with 4 spawned I get 30FPS, 8 20FPS. Without animations it’s 4 60FPS, 8 30FPS. Not a clue how you managed that! Any ideas?
Did you change the colliders to Capsule Colliders and remove all the CharacterController items? If you just added rigidbody but still used the Character controller its kind of pointless.
Its hard to know whats wrong with very small pieces of information.
Might want to update your script so we can see what you have now.
I know it’s possible to make this work, as I have with a AI package I built (not released yet though, having problems getting the interface working).
Still pretty new to C#
