In Part 3 we look at how the perception system works and how we can set up the sight sense and use it for our behaviour tree.

ok few things for those struggling. I found these three things helped me...... 1, in Thirdperson Blue Print, add the "AI Perception Stimuli Source". 2, AI Perception, register as source for senses and select sight. 3, In the AI's Controller, under AIPerception, Detection By Affiliation, check all the boxes (enemies, neutrals, friendlies)

If On Target Perception Updated event is not called for you try next: In AI_NPC blueprint select AIPerception component, look the Details: AIPerception - Senses Config - Sense - Detection by Affiliation. Try different values of the checkmarks. Detect Enemies doesn't work for me. I set Detect Neutrals to true to get On Target Perception Updated event to be called. Maybe there is a way to set who is the enemy and who is not?

Hi @RyanLaley I feel it makes more sense to use player -> get actor location for when you set the last known location value. I got some REALLY weird behaviour when I did what you did. The last known location would be in very odd places

LastKnownLocation and TargetLocation are both invalid. Im well over an hour diagnosing the problem. The dude detects me but doesn't chase. I'm going to start over and if I missed something, I'll post the result. Update: Went back, redid the AI_NPC, and at 16:00 in the video, my guy is following me now. He didn't do that the first time around and I figured it was because I didn't define LastKnownLocation yet. I don't know which node it was, but while I was rebuilding Handle Sight Sense, 1 or 2 of the nodes have the same name but serve a different function. This is something I'm noticing following these tutorials. I'm new at UE5 and I knew going into this it's going to be trial by fire trying to figure out at least the basics.

I think it has to do with the "Observer Abort: Both", maybe? I don't fully understand how it reaches the last known location movement. If you indicate that you abort the self "flow" and also the rest of low priority flows (like moving to last known location), it'd just go back to Roaming. Or maybe I'm understanding it wrongly.

well because the AI Sight Config just stores the index. Since index 0 has a name (AISense_Sight), the index 0 have different configurations for such things as sight radius etc. Since you can add more indexes with different sight senses, you cant add the AI Sight Config.

@JeramiahL
@JeramiahL Жыл бұрын
I have the same issue. Every single time. No matter what BT or how its configured. For those who need a work around, at the moment what I do for "Move To" is create a Task (BTT) for each Move To event. My enemy AI moves to my character by having a sequence that only triggers if the enemy AI senses the player (with "Player" tag) and if it senses the player then it will cancel its roaming and call the task "Enemy AI Move To Player" that runs a simple "AI Move To" with the "Controlled Pawn" node from the event trigger connected to the "Pawn" node on the AI Move To, "Get Player Character" attached to "Target Actor" node, and I made the Acceptance Radius node an editable variable so I can set this on each BT it gets called to (for ranged vs melee attackers - it's a simple means that I'll replace later with a more complex means of AI positioning relative to its target). From the AI Move To I ran "Finish Execute" from the "On Success" and "On Fail" nodes with the "On Success" having its "Success" box checked and the "On Fail" having its "Success" box unchecked. I'm working with more complex move to concepts using the AI Controller (I use the AI Controller for targeting - the less you can do in the BT the less likely it is to break). There's some really cool position finding stuff out there! It's just... there are a LOT of bugs with UE's system where things that should work simply won't and without knowing C++ it's going to be a LONG work around. I do not know C++ hahaha
