Implementing Artificial Intelligence in Unity
In this chapter, we will explore the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Unity, starting with the basics of AI and progressing to complex applications such as pathfinding and Behavior Trees. You’ll learn how pathfinding algorithms enable intelligent character movement and navigation in varied environments. We will also cover AI decision-making processes that allow Non-Player Characters or NPCs to react and adapt to dynamic game scenarios. By the end of the chapter, you’ll have practical insights into crafting sophisticated NPC behaviors using advanced AI techniques, enhancing your game’s depth, realism, and player engagement.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- An overview of the role of AI in gaming
- Understanding the basics of AI in the Unity environment
- Applying pathfinding algorithms for character movement
- Building AI logic for decision-making processes
- Creating...
