Unreal Engine 4 AI Programming Essentials. Create responsive and intelligent game AI using Blueprints in Unreal Engine 4

Unreal Engine is a powerful game development engine that provides rich functionalities to create 2D and 3D games. Developers have the opportunity to build cross-platform mobile and desktop games from scratch.

• You will start with an introduction to AI, and learn how it is applied to gaming.
• Then you'll jump right in and create a simple AI bot and apply basic behaviors to allow it to move randomly.
• As you progress, you'll find out how to implement randomness and probability traits.

This book will show you how to apply artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to your Unreal project using blueprints as your scripting language. Using NavMesh, you will impart navigation components such as character movement, MoveTo nodes, settings, and world objects, and implement Behavior Trees.

• At the end of the book, you will troubleshoot any issues that might crop up while building the game.
