Looking for Artificial Intelligence tutorial on blueprint

Finally got round to going through them and I think your tutorials are great!

Have you solved any of the problems yet?
Especially with the resetting of BBValues. I created a method of moving to the player location at the time of seeing them (as opposed to magically knowing wherever the player has moved to), but with a task that resets the value of the seen actor, it fails (of course) but even if the AI can still see the player. Bad explanation, sorry.

I’m wondering why returning to the guard point should be a high priority? Just for testing purposes?

Have a cup of tea and a biscuit and keep them coming. You’ve helped massively

Thanks, I’ve not looked at it yet, but you’ve just reminded me to bug Mieszko about it because it seems logical to me (I’ve worked with BT’s for years) that the “abort” suggests that aborting lower priority subtrees should also call their abort events. But I’ll have to pick Mieszko’s brain to find out if I’m thinking correctly about their implementation.

There IS obviously the workaround that you can simply call the reset from the higher priority branch as it starts, but that feels wrong. I’d rather come up with either the “correct” solution or one that feels less hacky at least.

Will post another video in the next few days. Just having some issues with an unstable PC right now.

Glad you’re enjoying the vids though guys. I enjoy making them too.

edit: regarding the higher priority return to guard position. Its just something you get by default in an MMO, guards rarely stray too far from their post, normally because it would screw up the server if vast hordes of AI entities suddenly started migrating across the world If you like after we’ve got the basics down we can do some further experiments on guard-type stuff, but I figured once the guard was nailed we could move on to mobs.
