TacitPlayer/EveryonePlsFollowMe.cs

A Scene component that, when active, periodically makes all NavMeshAgent components in the scene move toward this component's world position. It also collects CharacterController components in OnStart but does not use them beyond iteration and has commented-out TODOs.

Rough CodeReflection

🐞 caughtCharacters.Append(charc) never updates the field and will throw because caughtCharacters starts null and LINQ Append returns a new sequence that is ignored.
