# BehaviorPreset A **BehaviorPreset** is a `ScriptableObject` that stores the full configuration for a behavior — goal stacks, initial states, world state categories, and actions. Multiple behavior GameObjects can reference the same preset. *** ## Why Use a Preset? * Reuse identical behavior configurations across many GameObjects without duplicating Inspector data * Configure behaviors once in the Project window; all instances pick up changes automatically * Useful for enemy types, worker units, or any behavior that shares the same behaviour profile *** ## How It Works When an AIBehavior has an `_behaviorPreset` assigned: * On `Awake()`, the preset's goal stacks, states, categories, and actions replace the AIBehavior's Inspector lists * Each action is **cloned** (`Action.Clone()`) so every behavior instance has isolated runtime state — there is no shared mutable state between behaviors using the same preset *** ## Scene Targets with Presets ScriptableObjects cannot hold scene Transform references. Use **TargetBinder** components on scene objects instead — they self-register with `TargetBinderRegistry` at runtime and are automatically queried by `ResolveTarget()` during planning. No manual per-behavior binding is needed. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
