A.I. Chase & Patrol 👉 UE5 Tutorial (the easy way)

[@mattr5413]

From the pacing, to the tutorial itself this was perfect you covered so much in such a short time great tut

[@TheFailedPhantom]

Couldn’t agree more it’s a great simple ai great for if your not making a game in a long amount of time and it didn’t have just pure spaghetti code

[@polishgamedev5201]

Bro That Helped so much, i tried doing the patrol and chase system for over a week with the help of some youtube tutorials that didn't work, but your tutorial helped me alot. I can't wait to see your channel grow-up

[@BuvesaGameDevelopment]

Awesome! Thx :)

[@polishgamedev5201]

@@BuvesaGameDevelopment Also, could you please try to make a tutorial on how to lock the Ai so it won't walk out of the Nav mesh? I'm making a stealth game and there is this bug where when the enemy chases us there is a chance that he walks out of the nav mesh and it's kinda breeaking the game

[@bedtimestories1065]

Can't get over the amount of tools Unreal Engine provides. This would be so much more work in Unity. I'll always love Unity but it's time I give UE5 a go after years of using Unity lol.

[@BuvesaGameDevelopment]

Yes they have amazing tools right out of the box!

[@fuzzypanda1684]

Really? I found basic AI pretty simple in Unity. Honestly, I think Unity is far more beginner friendly than Unreal. It took me only a week or so to feel comfortable in Unity whereas Unreal took me several months. But Unreal is a lot more powerful and has a lot more practical applications so I forced myself to learn it.

[@rarerex]

@@fuzzypanda1684 it was the opposite for me

[@fuzzypanda1684]

@@rarerex Seriously? That's crazy. Both are equally easy for me to use now but the learning curve on Unreal was...well unreal lol. I think blueprints were hard for me to wrap my head around and many of the systems were overwhelming, with menus inside of menus with a bazillion options.

[@rarerex]

@@fuzzypanda1684 i pretty muched forced myself to spend like 4-5 hours a day for a week or two praticing using blueprints and unreal until i had a pretty decent understanding, super glad i did though. but personally, i did still find it more fun and easier than unity

Thank you kindly for that video! I learned something super helpful just from watching you do all this! Its a blessing

Could be many things, hard for me to guess :) But most made mistake is not adding the correct mesh bound volume.

@@BuvesaGameDevelopment Thanks for the answer. Yeah İt must be something about navigation, other actions works well. Probably mesh bound volume doesnt works. I am very grateful of your content keep up the great work.

hello, when i unpack them i dont find the animation file, i think is not there or something have changed, or the new versions of unreal doesnt work with this files :S any suggestion? I have few errors: No smoothing group information was found in this FBX scene. Please make sure to enable the 'Export Smoothing Groups' option in the FBX Exporter plug-in before exporting the file. Even for tools that don't support smoothing groups, the FBX Exporter will generate appropriate smoothing data at export-time so that correct vertex normals can be inferred while importing. Animation Stack Take 001 does not contain any valid key. Try different time options when import.

thx bro i subbed u now

[@themaavpage8169]

this works well however if you're using 2 or more main characters in your game, Cast to BP_ThirdPersonCharacter is not going to work because it will only follow the character you cast. It won't follow your other character if you swap to him

[@hunnitroundheath7456]

You can use a tag instead and put that tag on your main characters

can I get the AI to stop the running animation when he’s not moving?
