Hey, I want to drop by and register my interest for this project.
This is one of the few resources that come up on google for utility ai in ue4 so I really want to see it succeed.
That being said, I can’t really wait for it to succeed, since a working AI is the cornerstone of my project. I’ve tried my hand and Ureal’s built in systems in BTs, but I always manage to break them way to easily and I feel like I need to jump trough flaming hoops to make the AI do what i want. Utility AI (in my head at least) seems like the magic pill solution to all my troubles.
I don’t want to hijack OPs thread, but there aren’t many places for discussion on this topic, especially not in the context of UE4. Like I mentioned, I can’t really work on my other game systems while a solution comes up, so I’ve started developing my own utiliy AI architecture. Now it’s not going to be nowhere near as extensive as what OP is building and I’ve never done marketplace plugins (nor have plans to), so I feel(hope) there isn’t much conflict of interest. I’m also doing BP only.
I just want to keep the discussion going and exchange ideas and maybe offer my experience on how to set up and layout your classes and such. I’m mostly going to stick to Dave Mark’s design (as if I have much of an alternative :D)
If the world is still around in 2022 and you find this thread, drop a message and see what happens
yeah no worries man, been so busy I haven’t done much with this since. Honestly I kept running into weird engine issues as skeletal meshes are still absurdly expensive for whatever reason. I actually ended up buying a new pc so my workflow has sped up like crazy. Hoping to put more time into this and find a better basic structure, one that doesn’t go through blueprints as much as possible.
