A pedestrian path (sidewalk) has a width and a pedestrian can follow any path from one side of the sidewalk to the other. with an offset of -1 the pedestrian will use one side of the sidewalk and with an offset of 1 will use the other side. An offset of 0 means that it will go to the center of the sidewalk.  

### Declaration

```csharp
public static void SetPedestrianOffset(int pedestrianIndex, float offset)
```

### Parameters

<table><thead><tr><th width="261">Name</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>pedestrianIndex</strong></td><td>The index of the pedestrian.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>offset</strong></td><td>[-1,1] -1 ->left side of the sidewalk, 1 -> right side of the sidewalk</td></tr></tbody></table>

    void Start()
    {
        API.Initialize(Player, 1, PedestrianPool);
    }

    public void ChangeOffset()
    {
        API.SetPedestrianOffset(0, Random.Range(-1f, 1f));  
    }

    // Used for demonstration purposes.
    private void Update()
