Advanced Enemy AI! - Unity Indie Game Devlog #18

[@JoramVanhaerens]

Best opening to a devlog i've ever seen

[@SamHogan]

That's genius using the animator for AI state machines! What a cool solution. And congrats on the 100 mill.. wait

[@DanielLochner]

Haha xD Thanks Sam!

[@packlimo]

game is coming along nicely. insane how much you've developed.nice editing to.

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks! I appreciate the support! :)

[@JonasBroman]

"This definitely isn't edited" Haha nice one! Didn't notice the subscriber count and views at first xD

[@DanielLochner]

Haha xD

[@TonsOfHunStudios]

Another man cultured with Oblivion I see xD This is really cool Daniel! I knew a tiny bit about state machines and the animator before, but had no clue that you could do this much with it as well as the substates! It's cool to see how you handled it, as well as some of the problems you were encountering. It's also awesome that you are sharing the Loading Manager :)

[@DanielLochner]

Haha, you can't beat Oblivion's AI! xD Thanks, I'm glad I could show you something new! :) I was quite happy with how compact the script turned out, so felt I had to share it! I might even polish it and put it up on the Unity Asset store (like the other free ones I've uploaded)! :D

[@TonsOfHunStudios]

@@DanielLochner That would be great!

[@DolphinDev]

The monster in the thumbnail looked intense haha great work

[@codebuster3058]

Nice job dude the project is comming together nicely!

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks! :)

[@RobLang]

Great job! I'd probably roll my own FSM if not using animations. Not too dissimilar to your skeleton code but without enter and exit. Great video, always a pleasure to watch! 👍

[@DanielLochner]

Yeah, I would definitely do the same, it's just I felt so drawn to combining the two, seeing as my animations were linked to the state the enemy was in! Glad you enjoyed the video Rob! I really appreciate your support! :)

[@indieprogress7170]

Loll thought I clicked the wrong video at first. Nice work on the progress, you do a lot in a short period of time!

[@DanielLochner]

Haha! xD Thanks! :)

[@kingfhd2424]

Your game best than big games

[@DualWielded]

Going to buy myself one of those plastic bags ;D Super interesting to hear about state machines and how you've used them! Also your LoadingManager script is something I'll definitely look into. Awesome video dude! Excited for the next one :D

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks Thijs!

[@Tantandev]

1:15 Did you make your own editor script for Database.cs, to make it look like that, or are dictionaries serialized like that? :o I wouldn't now because I've never serialized a directionary...

[@DanielLochner]

I downloaded Rotary Heart's "Serialized Dictionary Lite" from the Unity Asset store (assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/serialized-dictionary-lite-110992), and created a Database script with a dictionary of objects! By then creating a DatabaseManager script with a singleton, and placing it on a Management GameObject in the scene, you can access any Database during runtime! Super useful! :D

[@GamesInHouse]

I've had mixed experiences with state machines which in some situations made things much more complicated than they really should be, specially with some character state changes that don't necessarily demand an animation event. But in the instances that I use it it works like a charm.

[@DanielLochner]

Yeah very true! :)

[@paulfromwalmart148]

Yay video!

[@DanielLochner]

:D

[@diher57]

Could you show how did you achieve the separeted clothes work great with animations ?

[@DanielLochner]

Hi Boros! I'd suggest reading up on it through this tutorial: medium.com/@larissaredeker/3d-character-customization-fd95a1d57ae :) You'll need to have some basic understanding of programming, rigging and 3D modeling though! Here is the video showcasing what this tutorial will achieve: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZmUkn2in6qMppY Best of luck with your project! :D

[@Tikodev]

Lmao that intro was perfect

[@onmboshorts5061]

is this game punblishd ay name or link

[@arnautandrei5786]

Feedback: Loading screen could be an animation in a helicopter and when is 100% the character is going down a ladder made from ropes

[@DanielLochner]

Ah, that’s a great idea! Thanks! I’ve put it on my list! 🤩 If you have more ideas, definitely consider joining the Discord server! I’d love to hear them! 😄

[@bowler28]

0:46 'gotta appreciate the details

[@MythicLegionDev]

0:45 did I have anything to do for the inspiration behind that? XD We must be on a similar wavelength because I have the same joke at 3:10 for my next video that I've been working on for... over a month... oh my. That's a long time... Anyways... I really liked the video! Keep up the great work!

[@DanielLochner]

Haha, must be! xD Wow, 1 month! Looking forward to watching it! :D

0:00 Realy advanced AI hahahha Sorry for my bad english ; - ;

[@mikailyusufkaradeniz3538]

Love the humor

[@DanielLochner]

Haha, thanks! :D

[@calebstevens8269]

Msushi used your oblivion footage

[@crimzonic]

The intro could be another meme lmao.

[@PixelConflict]

The AI in the intro was lit ahahahahah

[@seattleseahawks1480]

This would be really hard to do, but as a Easter egg, you should make a level, where your fighting in a crater with a asteroid in it, but instead you have dinosaurs that you have to fight with a TRex being a boss or something idk haha.

[@ezpz4646]

The character moves too slow. Walks too slow, covers distance too slowly switches weapons too slow. I feel the drag just watching it.

[@DanielLochner]

Hmmm, okay... I'll look into it! Thanks for the feedback! :)

[@flimsy3017]

Can u add the capital of Pakistan(Islamabad) as another level :P (wanna see my country in the game too!

[@DanielLochner]

Sure! I appreciate the support! 😁

[@flimsy3017]
