Value Attribute
When the entity's AI calculates a path, it checks the block types along the potential path. By setting a malus using this function, you can make the entity more or less likely to walk over, around, or avoid certain blocks. For example:
- A positive value (e.g., 1.0) means the entity will consider this block type harder to walk over or less favorable, causing the entity to try to avoid it.
- A negative or zero value (e.g., -1.0 or 0.0) means the entity will consider this block type neutral or easier to walk over, making it more likely to choose paths with these blocks
