This is actually some of the best Unreal engine content on ANY complex subject I have ever found on youtube. This series is amazing completely blowing any course I've ever taken on A.I. out of the water and is one of the most indepth tutorials of Unreal Engine A.I. out there. Wonderful job mate, please don't ever stop!

Amazing tutorials, are so helpful. I have a few recomendations: 1. You could use a function to Get the Stimulus Class and its easier to handle the logic. 2. To change the debug input go to Project Settings - Engine - Gameplay Debugger 3. To re-enable the Print String functions write "EnableAllScreenMessages" on the console command at the bottom of rhe editor Thanks for the tutorials, keep going 😁

Without exaggerating, this youtube channel is frustrating... To see such a high quality of video on such a complicated subject (at least for me, the subject of AI is something that's not usually dealt with in such depth on RU-vid or even on the training courses I've taken on Udemy) is simply amazing. (When I compare this tutorial with the majority of paid training courses... I'm completely impressed) Thank you, you really help me to understand this subject much better, I had lost hope of finding a tutorial of such quality!

@oscblade1691 2 месяца назад

First of all thank you Ali for these tutorials honestly I have watched a lot of different RU-vidrs and their tutorials and yours is the best. Also for anyone running into the same issue I was having with the damage perception not showing in the debugger. First make sure you have a value for the damage amount. Second I had two ai in my level and I believe it did not know which one I was trying to damage and so nothing registered. Once I deleted one of them from the level it worked. Probably need a tag or id for each enemy or overlap event to let it know which is being damaged.

Great series! I do have a suggestion though for anyone following the tutorial. There is already a function which pretty much does what is implemented with "Can Sense Actor". Its called "Get Currently Perceived Actors" and lets you choose a "Sense" to get actors for. This should be much faster than looping through the senses for each actor.

@AliElZoheiry 5 месяцев назад

If anyone is getting errors when testing if the AI will see or hear you and go after you that deals with the blackboard returning none - just add an "? is valid" node before whatever the blackboard is connected to and plug the blackboard variable in there and it will work.

PS.I just finished half of the Part 3 on to the set up thing and I got a big question in my head when teacher mentioned about C++ , So in the real process in making the game do I need to learn C++ to improve this function? Or I need to learn coding to understand more complicated thing ,Please guide me to the right path .

@AliElZoheiry 21 день назад

Hey, thank you for your kind words and your questions. I'm glad to hear that you're finding the tutorials helpful. Regarding your question. "Self" doesn't refer to the actor, self always refer to the current class you're in, so in the AI controller, self is a reference to the AIC_EnemyBase controller. Regarding C++, generally speaking, yes C++ will be required for working in actual company that uses Unreal Engine. Even though there as games built fully using Blueprints, C++ is required for performance optimization and low level systems building

When learning, I didn't try to memorize anything, I kept googling everytime I wanted to do something, and I found myself googling the same thing over and over again until I memorize it.

@AliElZoheiry 5 месяцев назад

You're very welcome! I'm glad you're finding the tutorials useful. Yes, the ForEachLoop automatically stops after the last array element is processed, so you don't need to set up manual breaking logic. If you are looping over an extremely large array though (thousands of items) then I suggest using "For each with break" loop, which allows you to manually break from the loop once you have found what you're looking for in the array

@canaanilmeledetto8823 7 месяцев назад

Hi Ali, thx a lot for ur tutorials, ur amazing!! I'm having an issue with hearing sensing: when the actor see me, after he loses me, if I make the noise, on the behaviour tree he stops at investigating state just a moment, and then restart the patrol, so he doesn't reach the "point of interest", otherwise, if he doesn't spots me, the investigating state works fine, what can be the problem?

@AliElZoheiry 7 месяцев назад

Hey, I don't know what it could be, but it sounds like the investigation state is ending too soon, you need to debug why that is happening by following the execution flow to see what's going wrong

@zarakilian Год назад

Hey Ali, thanks for the Tutorial. Injist have a question on how to make the ai differentiate between different Actors that are not Pawns? Example, I want to make the AI see a door, and then attack that door. But problem is that the ai sees other paws and cant differentiate between the different actos. Tags dont seem to work either for AI sight.

@AliElZoheiry Год назад

For now we have the enemy perceive all actors, I will be adding actor differentiation soon, but the idea is that in the HandleSensedSight function, before doing anything you can check the Class of the actor being sensed and then do different things based on the actor class/type

@DorianF-mt2cy 5 месяцев назад

Hey Ali, Thank you for this amazing tutorial. I have question. When there is a small obstacle between the player and the AI, the AI Perception doesn't see the player and It's because the AI perception is locked on the center of the player character. Therefore, even if I'm standing up in behind a table, the AI can not see me. Do you know if there is a possibility to change where the AI perception targets the player please ?

@AliElZoheiry 5 месяцев назад

Unfortunately with the default AI perception system, you can't change the location where the AI looks to. You'd have to build custom functionality for that or use a different plugin

Thank you so much for the tutorial! informative & helpful! Yet I have a problem I don't know why my enemy ai doesn't switch state when hearing a sound/sight. It works when debugging tool, but it stucks in the passive state in patroling even I am within sight or make a noise. Would really appreciate some help!!

@AliElZoheiry Месяц назад

Hey there! Glad you found this helpful! Unfortunately I don't know what your exact problem is, but i suggest checking the conditions for switching states in the AI controller that they are being called as expected, and if so, then check the blackboard values and the decorator for switching states, that it is setup with the correct valuss

@vannessaborrero 2 месяца назад

Love your tutorials! Hands down the best tutorials regarding enemy AI in RU-vid. I have just one question. How do I allow interruptions in the investigating state? For example, let's say you make a sound and the enemy begins to approach the area of the sound. If you create another sound at another location, I want the enemy to stop their route to the 1st sound and make way to the 2nd sound. I can't do that with the behavior tree in its current state, and I spent hours trying to figure this out with no solution as of yet. I thought a decorator might help, but it just freezes at the sound location. Any help is appreciated!

@AliElZoheiry 2 месяца назад

Hey there, thanks for your kind words! There is an option called "Notify Observer", by default this is equal to "On Value Change", and if you have "Observer Aborts" set to "self or both", that means that this branch will get interrupted if the "VALUE" of the decorator changes. But.. if you change the "Notify Observer" to be equal to "On Result Change". This will interrupt the branch anytime the variable is changed, EVEN IF the value itself didn't change. That means that if the "State" is "investigating", and then something happens and updates the state to "investigating" again. The decorator will still abort. That might be what you want to do. Try it out and let know.

@vannessaborrero 2 месяца назад

@AliElZoheiry I tried this and it doesn't work 😔 I tried it in both the beginning sequence of the investigating tree and under each of the tasks.

@AliElZoheiry 2 месяца назад

It should interrupt if you have the observer abort set to self or both and on result change instead of on value change. But if it's not working then you can try a different solution, which is to add a 2nd decorator that checks if the value of the investigation location has changed, and if so, it interrupts and starts over

@HG-tu2xn 4 месяца назад

Thanks for free knowledge. I have a little question. when I duplicate this enemy on my level, should they work the same? but i have only one enemy working properly. or does Behavior Tree Only Work for One AI Character Spawned? ed: "get all actors of class"

@AliElZoheiry 4 месяца назад

Hey there, the behavior tree is not a global object, meaning that for each instance of an enemy in your level, there is a separate instance of the behavior tree. So you can have as many enemies as you want and each will run their own copy of the tree.

@MistahX99 5 месяцев назад

Amazing series thank you so much for the quality content. I only have one question. Whenever I trigger a second sound whenever the enemy is investigation he doesnt break out of the sequence and needs to finish moving to, waiting and resume patrolling before he can react to another sound. How can we break out of the sequence and make it move to the new location since it's not switching state?

@AliElZoheiry 5 месяцев назад

Hey there, I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying the series! To address your question, to allow one branch in the behavior tree to interrupt another branch, then in the "Decorator" on the "Lower priority" branch you should set the "Observer abort" value to be "Both" which means that once the value of the decorator changes, it aborts itself and anything of lower priority

Nice video, by the way ali, is it better to use 1 AI controller for all enemy? cause im thinking do i need to set up AI perception in each AI controller? or duplicate it? or each one should have a single separate AI controller? this goes for the behavior trees as well?

@AliElZoheiry 3 месяца назад

Thanks! Glad you liked it. Regarding your question, you can indeed create multiple AI controllers for different enemies, I actually do that at the end of the series, when I implement the boss, because the boss enemy has some unique perception and other things, so I create a child class of the base AI controller for the boss. Same with behavior trees, you’ll see that I create multiple behavior trees for each enemy type as the series progresses

Another great part. thanks. Any way to change where is the ai looking in sight sense? The problem is when a place a 1m tall cover wall/bush the enemy ai don't see me if i stay front of him.

@AliElZoheiry Год назад

Thanks Imr! So the vertical angle for sight perception is fixed, but you can get the enemy to look up and down to sense things by using "SetFocus" (which takes an actor) or "SetFocalPoint" which takes a location. So theoretically, you can get the enemy to change their focal point to look up and down every now and then and sense things a bit higher or lower than they can usually sense

So far so good. I was able to implement everything you said though part 1, 2, 3. Thank you very much for posting it here for free! One question. So i have a door in my game but even if its open, the ai does not go through it. I made sure that the NavMeshBound is covering it. Do you think it has to do with the collision of the door?

@AliElZoheiry 4 месяца назад

Hey there, this is a common issue with nav meshes because they don't update automatically when something changes, like a door opening or a box moving. To update the navmesh you have to setup the door to be a navmesh modifier. Checkout this tutorial that explains that well ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0AQzDuRtZnM.html

Hey, thanks for reaching out! I'm glad you're enjoying the tutorials. You can reconfigure the key bindings in Unreal Engine by navigating to Project Settings -> Engine -> Gameplay Debugger and adjusting the input settings there. This will allow you to change the key bindings for the debugger functionalities, such as the perception of your enemy.

Hey Ali - do you think the 'get perceived' actors could work fine for sensing an actor? thanks for this tutorial series by the way, it's really incredible and I hope you continue.

@freyaniczdigitalartist2303 10 месяцев назад

To expand on what I mean - Basically 'On Perception Update' I use 'Get Perceived Actors + the sense', do a for each loop and check against player. So far it seems to behave the same and it's a bit more simple I think.

@AliElZoheiry 10 месяцев назад

You're very welcome. I'm not sure what you mean by using that function to sense actors, that function just returns information on actors that were already sensed through the AI perception component

Love your channel bro. I have a few small issues, when the Ai goes into Attacking, he doesn't switch from attacking, he just keeps chasing the player even if the player can't be seen. I'm not sure that's ideal. If AI loses sight of the player, I'd like the AI to look around the last know location for a few seconds and then go back into passive if the player isn't seen. Is this addressed in future episodes?

@drakorez Месяц назад

In the "responding to sensing an actor" section why not just use the "On Target Perception Updated" node? I am still new to this, so I may be missing something, but it seems a lot easier that way. My understanding is that that node gives you a separate call for each time an actor is sensed, so you would not need to loop through an array each time.

@AliElZoheiry Месяц назад

Hey there, indeed it seems that it is easier to use, but at the time of making this video, I had some issues with "On Target anything.." I hope that by now they fixed those issues, but also using "On Perception Updated" isn't that much more complex, and gives us control over how to deal with each actor

The default are numpad numbers, so make sure you are using the numpad, and if you don't have a numpad then you have to change the Gameplay debugger settings in your project settings
