Method AddReward

AddReward(float)

Increments the step and episode rewards by the provided value.

Declaration

public void AddReward(float increment)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
float	increment	Incremental reward value.

Remarks

Use a positive reward to reinforce desired behavior. You can use a negative reward to penalize mistakes. Use SetReward(float) to set the reward assigned to the current step with a specific value rather than increasing or decreasing it.

 Typically, you assign rewards in the Agent subclass's <xref href="Unity.MLAgents.Actuators.IActionReceiver.OnActionReceived(Unity.MLAgents.Actuators.ActionBuffers)" data-throw-if-not-resolved="false"></xref>
 implementation after carrying out the received action and evaluating its success.

 Rewards are used during reinforcement learning; they are ignored during inference.

 See [Agents - Rewards] for general advice on implementing rewards and [Reward Signals]
 for information about mixing reward signals from curiosity and Generative Adversarial
 Imitation Learning (GAIL) with rewards supplied through this method.
