Best Way to do LOS for AI.

I was totally unaware of SensingComponent. I’ll look into how to use it. But I too am afraid of the low-level cost of such functionality, because I’m planning to use it large scale.
I was watching the Paris Shooter Symposium video , a talk from Crytek talks about using approximation to figure out if they need to re-cast, and Exponential Queue for LOS.
I figure these optimization are neccesary on Crysis2 because of the large scale AI ( about 20-30 or more at times ) . Which is in line with what I’m planning.

That’s why I am not sure if Epic created the Sensing component with these scales of battle in mind.

You could turn up the SensingInterval to something like a second. Means all the logic only runs once a second, not every frame. Gives you quite nice performance, at least works fine for me

Furthermore just turn it off, if the AI has a target.
