The Ultimate Unity AI Course - Build Autonomous Game

Explore building an action task in Behavior Designer for Unity AI, implementing an XM action with a custom script inheriting from Action, using OnUpdate and returning statuses, and logging messages.

Explore how to share data between behavior designer tasks using shared variables and the value property; feed and read the counter and round number between action and conditional tasks.

Create and configure an mpc npc in unity with a capsule collider, navmesh agent, visual body, and emissive ground plane guided by a level manager for hiders and seekers.

Teach NPCs to hide at randomized high spots by using behavior designer, find free hiding spots through level manager, and move to the chosen spot before hiding.

Build a seeker field of view in Unity using an fov object and a trigger collider to detect the player within a defined range, with gizmo visualization of bounds.

Program a hider search in Unity by building header checks, inverter logic, and a Behavior Designer driven seeker that searches for hiding spots and reveals targets.

Restart the round by resetting the behavior tree and sending hiders and the seeker to the start. The level manager selects a new seeker based on the kicked-out hider.

Set up a Unity UI to test game speed by building a background image, a game speed slider, and a UI manager that updates the timescale display in real time.

Introduce enhanced hider AI that exits hiding when the seeker moves away, racing to the check mark base to improve interactivity and realism, aided by the seeker's hearing.

Create a scriptable object to store MVP stats and define an NPC task data structure with fields like name, current state, market name, and average round time.

Learn to implement visual randomization for the MPC by adding randomized accessories and three visual styles, producing different appearances each playthrough with hats, hair, and eyeglasses.

Configure the male MPC prefab by creating and duplicating style groups with randomized features like eyeglasses, mouth, hats, and cigars. Prepare script-driven activation and female randomization in the next section.

Explore randomizing female character styles in a Unity scene by creating variants for head, hair, eyelashes, and eyeglasses, then deactivate alternatives to yield varied NPC appearances during play.
