PlayerInput (camera) with Ai Agent (movement)

Hallo!

Please help to combine character controls PlayerInput (camera) with Ai Agent (movement):

1.
I need to make FirstPersonView character to follow some path or to move with AI Agent (i.e. NavMeshAgent) and simultaneously rotate the character camera by UnityInput (i.e. mouse).
I can do this by moving character on MovingPlatform, but in this case I have no any animations (bob/spring…).

2.
And in the second variant I need the same, but when character is moving camera is looking forward, and when character stops, player can control rotation by UnityInput.
 
For both of these I would create a new ability that controls the character's input. When this ability is active you can set the m_CharacterLocomotion.InputVector to Vector2.zero and then control the movement from there. With this setup you will have full control over the camera.
 
I have an error on building character in this case:

Thanks - change line 341 of CharacterManager from:

Code: 
var navMeshAgent = character.GetComponent<UnityEngine.AI.NavMeshAgent>();

to:

Code: 
var navMeshAgent = m_AddCharacter.GetComponent<UnityEngine.AI.NavMeshAgent>();
 
just in case I inform you that, that there are else two similar lines in CharacterManager: 744 and 750.

And the line 874 has the similar "GetComponent<UnityEngine.AI.NavMeshAgent>()".

Maybe they are also woud be changed...

Can you describe more detailed, how to control FirstPersonView character by AI Agent (i.e. NavMeshAgent) and simultaneously independently control (rotate) the character`s camera by UnityInput (i.e. mouse). Camera view direction souldn`t change character moving direction, controlling by AI.
And when character is walking/running (moving) by AI, FirstPersonView weapon would be animated (bob/spring…).


Thank you!
