DeathmatchHealth and NavMeshAgentDeathmatchBridge are specific to the Deathmatch AI Kit, as is the DeathmatchManager and the Scoreboard. Looking at these components, the only ones that you'll probably use in your own game for enemy AI is the Deathmatch Agent and TeamManager components. This component basically describes the properties of the AI agent: what to attack, what to ignore, where to attack, what to attack with, etc. The Deathmatch Agent inherits from the AIAgent component included in the Third Person Controller/Behavior Designer integration. The major new addition is the Deathmatch Agent.

NavMeshAgentDeathmatchBridge inherits the Third Person Controller NavMeshAgentBridge component and allows for a new manual off-mesh link so the agent can go up the air lift. DeathmatchHealth inherits the Third Person Controller CharacterHealth component and just reports the character's death to the Scoreboard. I've highlighted the Deathmatch unique components. Here's a look at the structure of our AI agent, named Agent Aydan: Most of the agent components are the regular Third Person Controller / Behavior Designer components and the Deathmatch AI Kit doesn't add too much. The Team Manager only exists for team games and I'll have more info on what role it plays when I talked about the team AI some more. The Scoreboard keeps track of the kill/death stats and the Team Manager is used to coordinate teams. On the Deathmatch Game prefab there's also two other components: One of those components is the Deathmatch Manager which configures the game for us:īefore the game starts we'll have a fancy menu which exposes the configurable fields but the gist is that the Deathmatch Manager initializes the deathmatch game. When the game starts the main scene will spawn a 'Deathmatch Game' prefab which contains the manager components. I am still working on cleaning up the AI and is working on finishing up the weapons so I figured that I would first give a high level overview in how the asset is structured as well as how you'll be able to use it with your own AI. From here you can save the tree out to a new external tree and you have a rogue agent preset. These two changes would completely change the overall behavior of the agent and all that you'd have to do is remove a few tasks. To do this I would remove the branch which the agent uses to respond to backup and also remove the task which allows the agent to join a team formation. The included behavior tree is saved as an external tree so doing this modification is just a matter of duplicating the tree and then removing tasks/adjusting parameters.Īs another example, lets say that you want one member of a team to be less of a team player and more of a rogue agent. You'd probably want to increase the health and the firing power of this agent as well. If you start with the included behavior tree you could remove the cover branch and change a parameter within the Attack task which prevents the brute from strafing to avoid attacks. I plan on posting more of the details of how the behavior tree works, but as an example lets say that you want a brute who has more strength than brains. You would be able to get similar Perfect Dark present functionality by modifying the behavior tree and exporting to a new external tree. You can also get an email notification when the Deathmatch AI Kit has been released by signing up on the Deathmatch AI Kit page.Ĭlick to expand.A deathmatch game is very specific so one of the goals of this asset is to provide a set of generic behavior tree tasks you can use for your game. You can get in on this beta if you've purchased both the Third Person Controller and Behavior Designer. We'll be running a web demo soon, and before we submit I'd like to run a quick beta. We'll keep this thread updated with our progress and go into a little bit more depth on what each of those features mean.

Determine the best weapon for the current situationĪI agents can be customized to your game by adjusting the task parameters and rearranging the tasks within the behavior tree.

Respond when another agent needs backup.Create formations with other agents on the same team.The Deathmatch AI Kit allows for team-based and free-for-all deathmatch games using the power of Behavior Designer and the Third Person Controller.ĪI agents can handle advanced situations such as: In order to accomplish this goal the agents will move in formations, take cover, determine the best weapon, and strategically attack the target. The Deathmatch AI Kit includes a set of behavior tree tasks with one goal: eliminate all enemy targets. Requires Behavior Designer - Movement Pack
