# Using the Stationary Wander Type

## Using the Stationary Wander Type

The Stationary Wander Type keeps an AI stationary at its starting position until it detects a target. When this happens, it will react to the target according to its [Behavior Type](/emerald-ai-wiki/emerald-components-required/behaviors-component.md). It will then return to its stationary starting position after it has exited its combat state.

**Note:** Detected targets need to be visible and within an AI's field of view.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** An AI will generate a new Idle Animation, based on its Idle Animation List, every Idle Animation Second (which is randomly generated based on the Min and Max Idle Animation Seconds).
