This video covers creating a simple enemy AI system in our FPS game. We will use collision areas to create an enemy's field of view and raycasts to calculate line of sight which will allow our player to take cover behind objects. I'll also give you some handy tips for modifying the material of an object at runtime and implement a simple player chase script.
In this series of FPS Godot tutorials I will teach you how to make your very own FPS in Godot. Subscribe to stay up to date!

Important note! In this video I use the _process function, but ideally you should use the _physics_process function instead due to RayCast calls and movement.

[@_mickmccarthy]

@tompo1975 Bit late, but if you haven't found an answer yet you can give reference a script as a class using 'class_name `, other scripts can then inherit from that by using `extends ` at the top, much like a regular script will have `extends Node` or similar at the top. Hope that helps!

[@seannesler]

Thank you! This helped so much! I am trying to get back into game design after years, totally new to Godot, and this helped a LOT. Just a couple bugs I am sure there are easy fixes for that I just can't figure out. 1) I added two AIs to a scene and both turn red when one sees the player character. 2) If the player character is standing on an elevated surface, the AI will turn until it is practically horizontal to look at the player. The AI used to literally fly to reach the player if the player was elevated, but I fixed that easily (watched the gravity tutorial you made and that kept them from flying).

[@jowilson5581]

This is fantastic. With these four videos, I have a nice framework in place to make my own game idea! Thanks so much for the leg up.

[@CodeWithTom]

You're very welcome Jo. I'm planning to refine these lessons and extend them into a full fledged course at some point. I'm also toying with the idea of releasing an open source first person framework

[@jowilson5581]

@@CodeWithTom fwiw I think releasing the core functionality as a plug-in framework would be a nice gesture, very much in the spirit of Godot. I'm actually making some changes to what we've done so far, as the game I have in mind is a stealth game where the player has a slingshot as opposed to a hitscan weapon. But! Just having core stuff like movement keys, mouse look, interactable objects, and a basic raycast in place demonstrating layers and groups, it all makes for a nice base on which to build.

[@CodeWithTom]

@@jowilson5581 absolutely! The Ludum Dare entry I made uses projectile bullets instead of hitscan so id probably add that in too. Although it's a little buggy right now which I believe is to do with the speed of the bullet and the rate at which the collision area node reports bodies entering it. Will need to figure out the issue first. Also thinking of adding in things like customizable head bobbing, sway, camera shakes etc.

[@ryoneer]

FOR ANYONE WITH THE GET INDEX COLLIDER ERROR!!!: Check and see where the origin of the player and the enemy nodes are. In my case they were at y= 0 and the floor level was also at y=0 which means the raycast is in the floor, thus cant reach the player, if anything for that matter. I fixed it by placing a spatial node on both the player and on the enemy at about half the body height and raycasting from there.

I love the way you do the tutorials---describing everything in detail as you add it, and then doing a full recap at the end. Fantastic....makes it much easier for someone who, during his first cancer, had 3 brain tumors, three very severe brain surgeries, whole-brain/max-dose radiation therapy, plus very severe chemo which does cross the barrier into the brain, to learn from. Btw, minor point: are there supposed to be two part 4s? :-)

[@CodeWithTom]

Hi Jim, thank you so much for the feedback. I'm really glad you find my method of teaching useful. It sounds like you've gone through an awful lot, but it fills me with joy to hear that my videos are helping you to learn game development and I wish you every success in your journey! 😁👍

[@spooky130u]

Is there supposed to be a part 5? The title and video for four and five are the same. Just wondering. Don't want to miss the end of this tutorial set! :-) In part four (the actual part four not part four that's #5), you mention that the new setting is for something you'll be adding later. I gather, since it really wasn't used in part four, that there is a missing part five. But I could be mistaken. Oh, and the zip with the code is also labelled part 4. As for going through a lot, yes, definitely. But I put cancer #1 through hell. Every time it tried to kill me, the only thing it accomplished was to make me more furious with it and that much more defiant towards it. We caught cancer #2 so early it was just one surgery and done. And we caught #3 before it even became #3 (pre-cancerous mass). My email signatures read: The score: Me: 2 + 1-ish Cancer: 0The really bad thing is that #1 forcibly retired me and dumped me into Social So-Called Security Disability. Gamedev is my latest attempt at (eventually) making enough money to escape from this financial hell.

Hi Larry, you would need to use linear interpolation. I will do a video on this topic in the future.

[@bulaxa2900]

Instead of making groups you could just use the collision layers inside of the engine in the inspector, in the game i'm currently working on instead of using the groups i used layers, and it's quite the same thing but I prefer the layers method

[@CodeWithTom]

Yep that's another option too 😁

[@jlewwis1995]

It seems like it would be better to create a more cone shaped trapezoid for the viewing area rather than a completely flat one, can you do that with the collision polygon?

[@CodeWithTom]

Hey James, very good point. The CollisionPolygon, from what I can tell, has a set height. You may want to opt for a CollisionShape to do something more like a cone. Or simply use a Sphere and check the angle to the player to see if it falls within your desired FoV. But good point! :)

when i make rooms and i look past a certain distance, the background clips with the WorldEnvironment node. How do I fix this?

[@jlewwis1995]

How computationally expensive is directspacestate? Wouldn't it be more optimized to have a raycast node that only gets enabled when a non-world object enters the viewing area? I could see grabbing the whole world stare getting *really* bad in terms of cpu and ram use if you have a large map with lots of enemies

[@CodeWithTom]

Good question. I've not ran any benchmarks but I believe it is extremely cheap to run raycasts in this way. Especially since we only grab a reference to the space state object once (during the _ready call). It's main purpose is to make physics queries like we're doing here. docs.godotengine.org/en/3.2/classes/class_physicsdirectspacestate.html

[@CodeWithTom]

Note, you may want to modify the code slightly to call this inside the _physics_process instead for thread safety.

[@joshuapasco9026]

I'm not sure why.. But when I enter the Area, it prints myself as "Player entered" just fine, but when I put if body.is_in_group("Player"): it doesn't detect or print anymore.

To those having the "Invalid get index 'collider' (on base: 'Dictionary')" error, it does (to me at least) seem to be an OSX-specific issue. Unfortunately this isn't the first time I've had OSX-specific issues with Godot.

[@BogdanKustan]

Nice content, only some comments: 1. Why not use _physics_process instead of _process? All physics stuff must be handled in _physics_process(): move_and_slide -- This method should be used in Node._physics_process (or in a method called by Node._physics_process), as it uses the physics step’s delta value automatically in calculations. Otherwise, the simulation will run at an incorrect speed. 2. move_and_slide() doesn't need multiplication by delta: move_and_slide -- Unlike in move_and_collide, you should not multiply it by delta - the physics engine handles applying the velocity. 3. Why not to give each entity a class_name and then check it using "colider is Player" instead of using groups?

[@CodeWithTom]

Hey Bogdan, you're absolutely right! It's been a few months since I've touched Godot and I'm a little rusty as you can tell 😂 All of your points are 100% valid and I appreciate you pointing them out. I like your type checking solution rather than checking the groups too! Thanks for the constructive comments. 😁👌

I get the error: invalid get index 'collider' (on base: Dictionary) at the line if result.collider.is_in_group("Player"):

@deadninja Did this work for you? As collider isn't a function, so I can't see how it would. I added a check for the presence of a collider property and it seems that the result does not have one. Also added a breakpoint and inspected it and there is no collider property.

[@_mickmccarthy]

@deadninja Odd! What version of Godot are you running if you don't mind me asking? Might be a small difference between versions or something. There seems to be both a lot of people where this tutorial works fine and a lot who are having this particular issue. Very strange!

Hello, for those whom are having the albedo problem "attempted to call function 'albedo_color' in base 'null instance'" when running the get_surface_material. The only solution around it with the same architecture of code is to use get_active_material instead. At least for Godot version 3.4.4. My 'guess' to why get_surface_material doesn't work is that it only returns the material for the surface of the mesh and that material is something different than the material used for drawing the mesh? Godot says that it is null which means it hasn't been assigned anything. When using get_active_material it returns the correct material. This is just my ignorant guess lol. No idea why it works for some and doesn't for others? If it helps I am on Linux, Arch 5.18.3, LLVM 13.0.1, and Godot 3.4.4.

To fix this: (You don't have to set the translation to be exactly the same as I have, roughly the same should work) Go to Enemy scene. Click on the MeshInstance node (the capsule). Go to the Inspector tab and click to expand Transform. Translation should be all 0. Set Rotation Degrees to x: 90, y: -180, z: 0. Scale is fine as it is. Click on the MeshInstance2 node (the cube to point where it's going). Go to the Inspector tab and click to expand Transform. Set Translation to x: 0, y: 0.7, z: -0.8. Set Rotation Degrees to x: 0 y: 0, z: 0. Scale is fine as it is. Click on the CollisionShape node (to collide with the enemy). Go to the Inspector tab and click to expand Transform. Set Translation to x: 0, y: 0, z: 0. Set Rotation Degrees to x: 90, y: 0, z: 0. Scale should be all 1. Click on the Area node (the field of view). Go to the Inspector tab and click to expand Transform. Set Translation to x: 0, y: 0, z: -1.063. Set Rotation Degrees to x: 0, y: 90, z: 0. Scale should be all 1. Click on the CollisionPolygon node (the field of view collision area). Go to the Inspector tab and click to expand Transform. Translation should be all 0. Set Rotation Degrees to x: 90, y: 0, z: 0. Hopefully that helps.

Hi Nucleas, it's in the description.

[@bigbird612]

@@CodeWithTom thanks for some reason it wasnt showing me them

[@bobojenkins5805]

12:04 is what you clicked for

[@bobojenkins5805]

nobody has enough balls to code a logic for projectile enemies. you made a capsule follow the player thats cool i guess

[@hshsjsjsj506]

look_at(target.global_transform.origin, Vector3.UP) at this line why my enemy is looking in opposite direction its not following my player . please help me hahah

[@nightRobinO_O]

In Godot 3D, the front is the negative Z axis. Rotate your enemy first to face the -Z axis
