In the Attack state, the enemy continually attacks the player as long as they're visible. After an attack, the enemy must recover before launching a new attack. The only exit condition for this state is losing sight of the player.

//This coroutine runs when object is in attack state
 public IEnumerator State_Attack()
 {
    //Set current state
    CurrentState = AI_ENEMY_STATE.ATTACK;
 
    //Set Chase State
    ThisAnimator.SetTrigger((int) AI_ENEMY_STATE.ATTACK);
     //Stop nav mesh agent movement
    ThisAgent.Stop(); //Set up ...
