Unity Behavior Graph in 150 Seconds | Quick Workflow Preview (First Look)

[@ketexon]

I couldn't figure out how to do traditional state machine logic until I watched this! Thank you for making it brief and useful

[@nixonscherbarth1974]

I will def. make an update to this, going into events - they are a big game changer. If you have worked with a finite state machine before, they are limited to conditions for transitions. The behavior tree makes it possible to have you trigger your condition checks with actions, which feels amazing.

The potential for this is pretty rad. I need to pour through the example more extensively. Excellent video.

[@nixonscherbarth1974]

@@nibiruimagineering thank you for your feedback. I will do a follow-up video on this, which goes a bit more into depth :)!

Great and informal video. Helped me a lot with learning and using this new tool !

True shit G

[@nixonscherbarth1974]

Thank you, glad to hear that.

I really wanted to like the behavior graph, but to be honest, i hated it, it's so complicated and convoluted to perform something that's so simple in a few lines of code

[@nixonscherbarth1974]

@@JaguarPanda I get your point, for simple behavior, it is completely overkill. But it’s a great visualization for bigger tree structures. Also I guess this is the way Unity will move in the future, making the engine more non-scripting friendly and allowing some unreal-blueprint-like system.

[@Un4GivNX]

That's because you probably work alone. It is often beneficial to expose complex behaviors in a visual way for designers and artists.

@@nixonscherbarth1974 Hello! I'm the lead developer on this package. First, thank you for making a video about it! It's exciting to see :) Second, it's far from our intention with this package to put people further away from scripting or make the engine non-scripting friendly. In fact, the fact you can create new scripts from within the graph and implement them in C# is us trying to NOT replace scripting with visual scripting :)

​@@ShaneeNishryI'm really happy to read your comment-thank you for the clarification! I really like the direction Unity is taking with the Behavior Graph; it's a fantastic tool. Keep up the great work!
