G’Day I am trying to add sight and hearing to a custom C++ AIPerception component, so I can add some extra function to perception to change range etc. at runtime…
.h looks like this;
#include "CoreMinimal.h"
#include "UObject/ObjectMacros.h"
#include "Templates/SubclassOf.h"
#include "Components/ActorComponent.h"
#include "EngineDefines.h"
#include "GenericTeamAgentInterface.h"
#include "Perception/AISense.h"
#include "Perception/AIPerceptionSystem.h"
#include "Perception/AIPerceptionComponent.h"
#include <UObject/ObjectMacros.h>
#include <Perception/AISenseConfig_Sight.h>
#include <Perception/AISenseConfig_Hearing.h>
#include "SRAIPerceptionComponent.generated.h"
/**
*
*/
UCLASS(ClassGroup = AI, HideCategories = (Activation, Collision), meta = (BlueprintSpawnableComponent), config = Game)
class SAVAGE_API USRAIPerceptionComponent : public UAIPerceptionComponent
{
GENERATED_BODY()
public:
// Sets defaults
USRAIPerceptionComponent();
UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "SRPerception")
UAISenseConfig_Sight* sightConfig;
UAISenseConfig_Hearing* hearingConfig;
UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, Category = "SRPerception|Range")
void SetSightSenseRadius(float newRange);
};
.cpp looks like this;
#include "SRAIPerceptionComponent.h"
USRAIPerceptionComponent::USRAIPerceptionComponent()
{
sightConfig = CreateDefaultSubobject<UAISenseConfig_Sight>(TEXT("SR Sight Config"));
USRAIPerceptionComponent::ConfigureSense(*sightConfig);
hearingConfig = CreateDefaultSubobject<UAISenseConfig_Hearing>(TEXT("SR Hearing Config"));
USRAIPerceptionComponent::ConfigureSense(*hearingConfig);
sightConfig->SightRadius = 6400.0f;
sightConfig->LoseSightRadius = 7500.0f;
sightConfig->PeripheralVisionAngleDegrees = 142.0f;
sightConfig->DetectionByAffiliation.bDetectEnemies = true;
sightConfig->DetectionByAffiliation.bDetectNeutrals = true;
sightConfig->DetectionByAffiliation.bDetectFriendlies = true;
sightConfig->SetMaxAge(45.0f);
USRAIPerceptionComponent::ConfigureSense(*sightConfig);
hearingConfig->HearingRange = 6000.0f;
hearingConfig->DetectionByAffiliation.bDetectEnemies = true;
hearingConfig->DetectionByAffiliation.bDetectNeutrals = true;
hearingConfig->DetectionByAffiliation.bDetectFriendlies = true;
hearingConfig->SetMaxAge(35.0f);
USRAIPerceptionComponent::ConfigureSense(*hearingConfig);
USRAIPerceptionComponent::SetDominantSense(sightConfig->GetSenseImplementation());
}
void USRAIPerceptionComponent::SetSightSenseRadius(float newRange)
{
sightConfig->SightRadius = newRange;
sightConfig->LoseSightRadius = newRange + 1000.0f;
USRAIPerceptionComponent::ConfigureSense(*sightConfig);
}
It seems to be working but only the sight is showing up in the blueprint under senses, am guessing I need to add the hearing sense to the
UPROPERTY(EditDefaultsOnly, Instanced, Category = "AI Perception")
TArray<UAISenseConfig*> SensesConfig;
SensesConfig in AIPerception, but cannot find a function to add a sense, any help with this would be greatly appreciated 
The USRAIPerceptionComponent::ConfigureSense(*sightConfig); seems to add the sense but only sight is showing up, something weird going on
