 To make the application look more appealing from the beginning custom agent models can be used, see [Adding Own Agent Models and Animations](own-agents.md) for that.

+# TaskBundles
+TaskBundles are a way to group multiple sub-tasks together.
+The resulting task bundle can be added to a task system like any other task.
+A TaskBundle can also include a list of boolean preconditions.
+They are checked beforehand and determine if the TaskBundle prematurely finishes, in the event that one of the preconditions is not met.
+Tasks in a TaskBundle are executed back to back in sequence and cannot be interrupted by other tasks.
+
+# Construct a TaskBundle
+The are three TaskBundle constructors, that can be used to create a TaskBundle:
+1. `TaskBundle(MonoBehaviour coroutineHost)`
+2. `TaskBundle(MonoBehaviour coroutineHost, List<AgentBaseTask> tasks)`
+3. `TaskBundle(MonoBehaviour coroutineHost, List<AgentBaseTask> tasks, List<Func <bool>> preconditions)`
+
+The `coroutineHost` is the MonoBehaviour that will host the coroutine that executes the TaskBundle.
+`tasks` is a list of subtasks. Of note is, that TaskActions cannot be used here, as they would also add the sub-tasks to the regular scheduler.
+`preconditions` is a list of boolean functions, so in particular lambda expressions can be used.
+Other functions may be evaluated beforehand, so are not suitable for this purpose.
+The lambda functions must return a boolean value. `() => {...}` syntax is a lambda expression that defines an anonymous function inline.
+Parameters can be added in brackets on the left side of the arrow.
+
+Example:
+```csharp
+public List<Transform> waypoints;
+List<AgentBaseTask> tasks = new List<AgentBaseTask>();
+List<System.Func<bool>> preconditions = new List<System.Func<bool>>();
+preconditions.Add(() =>
+            {
+                // This lambda function checks if the agent is close to the last waypoint
+                // Compare vectors equality with accuracy of 0.5
+                float distance = Vector3.Distance(waypoints[waypoints.Count -1].position, agent.transform.position);
+                return distance > 1.0f;
+            });
+for (int i = 0; i < waypoints.Count; i++)
+            {
+                tasks.Add(new AgentMovementTask(waypoints[i].position));
+            }
+TaskBundle myTaskBundle = new TaskBundle(this, tasks, preconditions);
+```
+
+
+# Example Scene
+
+The framework contains one example scene that more comprehensively demonstrates the use of TaskBundles.
+In the `TaskBundleSample` the agent attempts to execute two TaskBundles, of which only one's preconditions are met.
+
+The `TaskBundleController` has the option to add multiple waypoints where the agent should walk.
+At the end of the execution of the first TaskBundle, the agent is close to the last waypoint, which leads to the precondition of the second bundle to fail.
