The Boss AI Toolkit is a simple to integrate and highly customizable boss fight creation system. Use it to create epic boss enemies for your game, whether it's an RPG or an FPS. Add different phases and attack patterns to your bosses using a flexible Ability system. It draws inspiration from games with a heavy focus on RPG boss battles and/or MMO raids.
It was made with existing projects in mind, so you should be able to use your own player characters with it.

Is there a video tutorial on how to implement a new Project?

[@formica961]

Already bought it. Going to mess with it a bit more then rei ew it but it is definitely 5 star. Epic job on this one as well.

[@DrixUnreal]

Thank you! Glad you like it

[@florinc3346]

This looks like it would work with common enemies as well

[@DrixUnreal]

Yes it can definitely work for normal enemies as well. The ability system is very flexible

[@神奇怪獸在哪裡]

I bought this tool and it helps me a lot！

[@ScribbleVicious]

I just bought the AI Behavior Toolkit yesterday and I going to have to buy this asap lol. Any chance you can do a video on how to integrate AI BTK with the Flexible Combat System?

[@DrixUnreal]

Thanks! I did a video on dynamic combat system. It's different but the process should be the same. Also there's instructions in the Boss AI doc

[@ScribbleVicious]

@@DrixUnreal Thanks for the info! I’m having fun with the AI toolkit so far! Definitely buying the Boss AI Toolkit on payday

Is there a video tutorial on how to implement a new Project?

[@DrixUnreal]

You just have to right click on the Boss AI Toolkit folder and Migrate to your project. You will have all the needed files. Then you can watch the tutorials on creating bosses and integrating your custom Player

Nice I’ll probably be getting this! Compared to the ai behavior toolkit this feels a lot more focused and streamlined towards reactionary melee combat. If this one as easy to use as the other toolkit it’ll be a great way to add instant enemies to your game. In the case of using this for powerful non boss enemies that can be manipulated more easily by the player, would you consider adding juggle logic? Like a state where the enemy can be launched, and kept in the air when hit, or get launched in a horizontal / diagonal direction based on the attack type? I added juggle logic to the ai toolkit enemies but it’s super sloppy.

[@DrixUnreal]

I definitely got the idea for this after I played Elden Ring. As for the juggle logic, do you know a game I could reference so I know how it should look/feel like?

[@TakiGamesOfficial]

Here are some references! I know juggling would look funny on big bosses but it would be a really cool option to enable in the case of smaller advanced enemies that use your boss logic. There are usually 3 types of states for launching and juggling; launch up, sustain in air, and knockback. Knockbacks usually apply to grounded enemies as well. I’d probably have like a shield bar that gives the enemy super armor and when it depletes the enemy’s defense is broken and able to be juggled, flinched, or just in a stunned state for an opening until the shield bar comes back. Nier Automata kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKDMl4hsapKlebs 2:06 - knockback>launch>sustain>knockback combo Devil May Cry kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4Kzp6Nrpr-En6M 0:14 - launch up 0:16 - sustain in air 0:19 - launch up 0:43 - knockback juggle logic I added to your enemy ai, the actual knockback logic I use is really bad. But the way I implemented it was I used animnotifies for the player attack montages to signal what type of launch the attack would perform on the enemy. The notifies would set variables to true or false on the player so if launch is true the enemy would launch when being hit and if knockback was true the enemy would get knocked back when being hit. I also had to do a lot of casting to reference the player’s weapon colliding with the enemy to signal getting hit.. so it would be a pain in the ass to copy and paste my juggle logic into your boss ai. Probably maybe hopefully a better way to do it in terms of a plug n play enemy. You’d definitely be the first and only person to have an instant juggleable enemy on the market. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX-Tn2OmZtGhqM0 0:48 - launch + knockback My attempt at sustain in air (all I’m doing is applying a weaker launch to aerial attacks) kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3a4ZZulapunjMk

[@amerboss99]

is it possible to integrate this to non fantasy boss fights? like tanks, or helicopters and that kind of stuff? or maybe soldiers?

[@DrixUnreal]

Yes it's possible. But the movement might be weird for wheeled vehicles since the Boss AIs don't move and rotate like cars. But Helicopters and soldiers can be easily done

[@davidvalles2544]

Looks great. Will that be included with the ai behavior toolkit?

[@DrixUnreal]

Thank you! No, it's a separate toolkit with a different focus. But they can work together.

[@KlemoneDeal]

blood countess reminds me of monsoon from mgr

[@LoongKinGame]

Is there gun logic in there？

[@DrixUnreal]

No, bosses can just shoot projectiles. It's not really a gun. Its really more of an ability system

[@TheZoobZoobs]

aw man, I work on 4.26, can't use this

[@piengwang5759]

i work on 5，very good！
