Thank for taking the time to do this! The choices you get when you click 'New Task' are the parent blueprint that this new one will inherit from. You can see this displayed in the top right corner of your task asset window.
Thank you for the tutorial! I've watched multiple tutorials of different channels and by far this was the best. Most of them just talk about part of the things you need to know, and you covered most of those in a single video. Your approach was the most modular I saw, loved it!
Wow, this is actually so complicated, and you simplified it down very well. It's taken me 2 years to get to this point. I finally feel like I'm starting to understand unreal engine. 😂
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I spent a good several hours working this out today when I was having issues with getting my NPCs to do anything other than being stuck in their animation cycle when they were in the idle position, and this was the best tutorial I found on it.
You have been very helpful in my Game Design class that I am in right now, I really appreciate your tuts and like how you get to the point. Thank you. I am now subscribed. Keep up the good work.
Easiest behaviour tree/ai tutorial I’ve seen. Really understood it, thanks man❤ P.S. would love a more in depth tutorial on how to add shooting and attack behaviours to this.
On 14:02 it actually matters a lot, you are choosing the base class the new task will inherits from, so you probably didn't wanted to build your ChaseTask on top of your RoamingTask.
Just came from your third person shooter tutorial because I wasn't happy with the basic blueprint ai logic, but the behavior tree looks good. Appreciate the effort, thank you. 👏 🙌
These are the only good tutorials I have seen on UA-cam Because I can just go do it in UE5 real fast and It feels way better than sitting around for hours waiting for a 4 hour video to show a 5-to-10-minute thing. Keep this up man. Thanks.
Huge ask here but would you consider doing a video where you use interfacing instead of casting and show examples of how you would do them in different projects? Not necessarily a tutorial but a high level overview with practical examples using some of your other videos are reference. I think its probably a niche thing but would definitely help some of us of getting into that mindset of soft and hard references etc.
This was a great video, I can not however figure our a way to stop the chase once sight is lost, does anyone have a tutorial on how I can set that up on using pawnsensing?
The chase stops when the AIController can no longer see the PlayerCharacter. But in order for the Behavior Tree to properly process that, the variable HasSeenPlayer needs to be set back to False.
If you manage to get away from the NPC and hide behind something, you might notice it stops moving and just stares in the direction it last saw you. I found a fix. In the 'chase player' task, drag out the 'on fail' output on the Ai MoveTo and create another Ai MoveTo. Make a similar setup to the 'Roam' task from there, connecting the controlled pawn to the pawn input, dragout the destination input and create a 'getrandomreachable...' node, set the radius to what your 'Roam' task has, and drag out the origin input and create a 'get actor location' node. You may have to copy and paste it from your 'Roam' task. And connect that to your controlled pawn as well. Then 'on success' output on the new Ai MoveTo node, finish execute again. Now when the NPC loses track of the player it should return to roaming where it last lost sight of you. It'll also resume chasing you when it sees you and repeat this process if necessary.
Good tutorial! Had to watch at .5 speed though and still had to back track to see what you entered or clicked. You should slow down a bit and pause before clicking things so people can watch what you are doing and follow along. Great video though!
If you guys want to increase AI speed on detection, just go to BP_AI or whatever the name is for your AI blueprint. Then drag the character movement component from the components tree into the blueprint event graph and click get if it asks. Drag from that node and type Set Max Walk speed. Connect the (Set Max Walk Speed Node) into the cast to BP_Thirdperson Node and into the Set value as bool. This will make the AI increase its speed when detects you. Simple but some might need insight so I figured I'd share.
Thank you very much, that's really good tutorial. So how can I reset bool to false when the enemy is not seeing the player and make enemy goes to the initial state in which he roams around? so the player can run away from enemy. Thank you again.
Pretty sure you found your answer already, but in case anyone else is wondering, here's what I did: - In the AI blueprint, I connected "Set Value as Bool" to a "Retriggerable Delay", and set the duration to 0.6 sec(*). - After the "Retriggerable Delay", add another "Set Value as Bool", set bool value to negative, and connect it to the same components as the other one. (*) Make sure duration is longer than the Sensing Interval in the PawnSensing component of the Blueprint (default: 0.5 sec).

Hey Master Gorka, Can I request a small addition to this video if you get the time? It relates to this video and also to the combat series you've made... I think that the order you intended for us to follow may be something like this: 1) HOW TO CREATE A COMBAT SYSTEM IN UNREAL ENGINE 5- #1 Tutorial 2) HOW TO CREATE A COMBAT SYSTEM IN UNREAL ENGINE 5 - #2 Tutorial 2b) How To Equip A Weapon In Unreal Engine 5 2c) The Easiest Way to Make a Simple Enemy AI in Unreal Engine 5 *2d) How to Make a Simple Behavior Tree in Unreal Engine 5 - Advanced AI* 2e) How to Make a Simple Health System in Unreal Engine 5 3) HOW TO CREATE A COMBAT SYSTEM IN UNREAL ENGINE 5 - #3 Tutorial I followed most of these and really benefitted! But, In place of #2c ("Easiest way... Enemy ai") I went with this "Simple Behavior Tree" one; in order to have potential to develop more thoughtful ai in the future. The only thing is: this "Simple Behavior Tree" video ends with the ai just chasing and not attacking.
I tried to implement the nice attack action you did at the end of #2c into my version of this, but I failed. If you could make a little add-on / follow-up tutorial to this one: on how to get the ai to take a swing at us once it catches us, (or any combat action) it would be great!! It would hopefully link up with the final #3 COMBAT SYSTEM just as seamlessly.
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback!! Yeah absolutely, I will make a follow-up video on making this AI with behaviour trees attack the player when it gets close, as I did with the other Enemy ai tutorial. I will also try to create a playlist and add all those in that specific order, as it will help other devs to see which one to see first etc. Again, thank you, I really appreciate your support!
Good day - Do you have any tutorials like this for an advanced NPC - Walk, idle - sit on a bench, deciding to choose which thing they want to do themselves? Natural looking humans walking around :)

Hi love your tutiorial, one quiestion is there a way to make the ai stop following you when he loses sight. because when he sees me he follows me forever
yeah you will need to have a constant loop setting the blackboard value to false because it the enemy is still seeing the player it will override the value and turn it back on.
Hi, thanks for this video. Do you have any idea, why the behavior tree is not looping for me? When the Ai see me, she chase me but when I hide to not be found, she do not look around. The look around is working when she did not see me for the first time. She stay with her idle. She would not chase me either. She's just stay on her idle. I have the impression than when she losed me, she can't reset her behvior tree. Can you help me please?
Thank you for the lessons. Very helpful videos. Can you make flying artificial intelligence lessons like a spaceship or a submarine? not tied to the earth?
Everything works perfectly however I came across an issue where once the ai loses sight of me he just stops and I can walk up to him directly without him chasing me again, Hopefully this makes sense? Is there a fix for this by any chance?

It was bugging me that you said "I don't know why you can choose a name, it doesn't really matter, when creating a new task". You probably know, but you created a child class with the chosen "name" as the parent class. at 14:30, look top right, parent class. Parenting is an important concept for complex projects. Other that that, awesome tut, thanks a lot.
everything seemed clear to me, except for your explanation of the decorator conditions. The meanings of is not set is hazy to me especially when you are using a boolean. I’m not sure how that works. It’s almost like it’s true or false or how would that apply to a different type of variable, etc.
Bro I want to fire from a gun actor which isn't attached from the main player bp .. how can I call the fire function? When i hold left click pls help me i am working on a game and I'm stuck here
Hi! Great video, absolutely loved it. I have a question though, when the AI is roaming, how do I make it basically walk slower and once it sees the player, it starts running full speed?
after the player chase get a reference to your enemy bp off that get the character movement and set max walk speed off that but remember to go back to your roam and add the same but set max walk back to normal speed
I want to make my NPC adjust their speed based on the proximity to the player. I followed the tutorial, and my NPC only runs at the set speed, regardless of how fast the player is moving. Is there a way to do that in a Behavior Tree, or is that a blueprint feature?
@@GorkaGames when the character stops its animation just snaps from running back to idle instead of blending. you can also see it in the video, and you didn't touch on that.
@@I-VisiBomb-I all his videos are useless on making versatile and flexible game development, its just cheap tricks to make it work for single purpose, aka farming views.
can you please answer me. i did the same as you did in this video but ai can't chase an other ai not the player ? because in my game ai is not chasing the player thanks? i did't find any toturial about that ? ake
Happy holiday! I wanted to ask you a question related to unreal. I'm making a horror game and I basically want to make a kind of character that chases you and if it touches you there's a Jumpscare. how can i do that I would be happy if you answer me! Thanks and happy holiday!
Happy holiday to you too!! Thanks, you know what, just yersterday I was doing exactly that!! Like a Hello Neightbour type of horror prototype. So basically this behavior tree is a good start, the AI will search through the area until it sees the player, and hen it will start to chase him. The next thing you want to do is to add a sphere collider in front of the AI`s mesh, so that if the player enters that area, the enemy will make the jumpscare, and I have a tutorial on that too! ua-cam.com/video/tIh8U_w9dr4/v-deo.html
@@GorkaGames I made the jumpscare you showed (with the trigger) separately in my game at the moment and I also made the character chasing the player separately. How can I do that only if during the chase of the monster and the player, the monster touches the player and only then will the jumpscare appear. Hope I was clear.
hi! can you please tell me how to make ai chase an other ai not the player ? because in my game ai is not chasing the player thanks? i did't find any toturial about that ?
Hello ! And thank you for this tutorial, very clear ! I follow this steps until 10min, but my AI doesn't move randomly. It's for 2D topdown game, with paper character, is there something different to do ?
It because the NavMesh didn't load in the game, try changing your collision thickness of the tilemap to 500 and building the game again and it should work
The chasing isnt working for me. Instead of the character Ive created a pawn BP for the AI to chase. When creating the HasSeenPlayer, if I just cast it nornally the AI just roams around, if I set the Bool on "cast failed" it will actually go to the cube's location, but only once, it wont follow it nor roam around again. 😅
Okay, I had to disable "only see players". Now it does go to the box, but if I enable physics to move the box the AI doesn't follow. Does the BP stay in place even if the box moves? How could I change that?
The AI isn't chasing me, unfortunately. But, it can move around. I just don't think it's detecting my character. Is it because I'm using a first person camera rather than a third person mode?
Yes if you are using same settings as him. Don't know if you are using settings according to your fps camera. From Settings i mean the name the ai has to chase
Having the same issue, currently debugging & brain storming. Surely it is a simple fix. Even removing the entire left side & leaving just the chase side, it just won't go through. I followed the steps to a T with one exception: I cast to my custom player character blueprint instead of the third person, which is built off of the first person template player character. The same cast work for all else in my project so i don't believe I've casted wrong. Will post update if I find problem/solution.
Hello i try to hide from the ai , but everything i tried dont work , is look like the ai can see me everywhere , how can i hide or put off sensing when my character is hide in the locker for exemple ?
hey! Thank you for the guide. so my AI is roaming around like they should, but when they see me and start "chasing" they go in weird directions, aka not following me(I see that the chasing sequence is applied in the behavior tree)
I get to the point where I put in the Nav Mesh Volume, lock the values to 50 and after that it just starts to "Build Navigation (8)" for eternity and there is like one little green square on my big ass plane. Can someone help?
Would be wise to mention z axis mismatch. Depending on the target location you are assigning to "AI Move To" It may silent fail if the z value is by default 0 and thus in the floor. Best way to do this is hard set any AI move to Z axis to the same as the character if the map is flat. If it isn't, you need to get the proper z axis value from your nav mesh which is.... a shitshow. Lots of moving target actors up and down a pixel or two because "WHY TF CAN'T HE GO THERE?! IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE OTHER IDENTICAL TARGET!" Not noticing it is a single pixel lower in the level and thus the AI controller thinks "oh, that location is in the ground, I can't go there. bec for some reason the margin of error for "AI Move To" only applies to its 'success' bool, not that actual pathing or any other aspect of the function. Do the character end up within that radius? success. Not, go to any spot within that distance of the target.
Hi. i want to ask something. you made the navmesh so big that you didnt encounter this issue. but when i exit the navmesh the AI stops working. doesnt goes to random roam. please send some ideas over here
@@Nucids23 I just created more navmesh boxes to cover every area I expected the ai to move in. Turning them, scaling them to fit. As for having the Ai return to roaming when they LOSE the player, as in, the player gets far enough away and hides behind something- to get them to go back to searching.

(*) Make sure duration is longer than the Sensing Interval in the PawnSensing component of the Blueprint (default: 0.5 sec).

Make a similar setup to the 'Roam' task from there, connecting the controlled pawn to the pawn input, dragout the destination input and create a 'getrandomreachable...' node, set the radius to what your 'Roam' task has, and drag out the origin input and create a 'get actor location' node. You may have to copy and paste it from your 'Roam' task. And connect that to your controlled pawn as well. Then 'on success' output on the new Ai MoveTo node, finish execute again.
Now when the NPC loses track of the player it should return to roaming where it last lost sight of you. It'll
It was bugging me that you said "I don't know why you can choose a name, it doesn't really matter, when creating a new task". You probably know, but you created a child class with the chosen "name" as the parent class. at 14:30, look top right, parent class.
Parenting is an important concept for complex projects.
Other that that, awesome tut, thanks a lot.
Underrated comment, this helped me fix an error issue I was having!
Thank you
thanks for the video i liked it
everything seemed clear to me, except for your explanation of the decorator conditions. The meanings of is not set is hazy to me especially when you are using a boolean. I’m not sure how that works. It’s almost like it’s true or false or how would that apply to a different type of variable, etc.
Brilliant tutorial, but my enemy doesnt follow me and cant figure out why, everything else works well he patrols about randomly etc
This doesn't work. The AI just stops responding when it sees the player, works fine when not seeing them though
Same for me. Did you ever find a fix?
@@forkplustoaster9603 Nope
worked perfectly
Thank you for the tutorial, but my ai keeps chaing me when im out of sight, how do i make it so that it stops chasing me when it cant see me?
Bro I want to fire from a gun actor which isn't attached from the main player bp .. how can I call the fire function? When i hold left click pls help me i am working on a game and I'm stuck here
You could use an interface or directly cast to the gun`s Bp and call the function from the main player
@@GorkaGames thankyou sir ... ♥ from india
@@neal-047 my pleasure, greatings from Spain!
@Gorka Games BP Interface required an actor how can I get the actor .. 😓
@@GorkaGames i just stared unreal engine and I don't know much about it I am really sorry if I am disturbing you..
Thank you, I have a bug that whenever like I go onto the stairs the AI character gets stuck at the stair but the Behaviour Tree is still working. UE4
Hi! Great video, absolutely loved it. I have a question though, when the AI is roaming, how do I make it basically walk slower and once it sees the player, it starts running full speed?
after the player chase get a reference to your enemy bp off that get the character movement and set max walk speed off that but remember to go back to your roam and add the same but set max walk back to normal speed
I want to make my NPC adjust their speed based on the proximity to the player. I followed the tutorial, and my NPC only runs at the set speed, regardless of how fast the player is moving. Is there a way to do that in a Behavior Tree, or is that a blueprint feature?
Little confused why every video i see, people using blendspace 1d. Any reason to not being using the new one?
Hello, any way to get the ai to decelerate a bit slower? I tried messing with thr braking friction to no avail.
There is actually a paramterer in the "Character Movement Component" called "Braking Deaceleration Walking"
@@GorkaGames when the character stops its animation just snaps from running back to idle instead of blending. you can also see it in the video, and you didn't touch on that.
@@I-VisiBomb-I all his videos are useless on making versatile and flexible game development, its just cheap tricks to make it work for single purpose, aka farming views.
can you please answer me. i did the same as you did in this video but
ai can't chase an other ai not the player ? because in my game ai is not chasing the player thanks? i did't find any toturial about that ?
ake
how can you make the transition between the running animation and idle animation smoother?
Never mind I fixed it but how would I make the walking animations play like idle works but not walk?
I guess the blendspace or your anim bp wasnt set up correctly. Check that its casting to the ai
Happy holiday! I wanted to ask you a question related to unreal. I'm making a horror game and I basically want to make a kind of character that chases you and if it touches you there's a Jumpscare. how can i do that I would be happy if you answer me! Thanks and happy holiday!
Happy holiday to you too!! Thanks, you know what, just yersterday I was doing exactly that!! Like a Hello Neightbour type of horror prototype. So basically this behavior tree is a good start, the AI will search through the area until it sees the player, and hen it will start to chase him. The next thing you want to do is to add a sphere collider in front of the AI`s mesh, so that if the player enters that area, the enemy will make the jumpscare, and I have a tutorial on that too! ua-cam.com/video/tIh8U_w9dr4/v-deo.html
@@GorkaGames I made the jumpscare you showed (with the trigger) separately in my game at the moment and I also made the character chasing the player separately. How can I do that only if during the chase of the monster and the player, the monster touches the player and only then will the jumpscare appear. Hope I was clear.
@@HarelVolotzky There is also a node that is called is overlapping actor
hi! can you please tell me how to make ai chase an other ai not the player ? because in my game ai is not chasing the player thanks? i did't find any toturial about that ?
Hello ! And thank you for this tutorial, very clear ! I follow this steps until 10min, but my AI doesn't move randomly. It's for 2D topdown game, with paper character, is there something different to do ?
It because the NavMesh didn't load in the game, try changing your collision thickness of the tilemap to 500 and building the game again and it should work
@@ansh9677 Thank you for your help !!
The chasing isnt working for me. Instead of the character Ive created a pawn BP for the AI to chase. When creating the HasSeenPlayer, if I just cast it nornally the AI just roams around, if I set the Bool on "cast failed" it will actually go to the cube's location, but only once, it wont follow it nor roam around again. 😅
Okay, I had to disable "only see players". Now it does go to the box, but if I enable physics to move the box the AI doesn't follow. Does the BP stay in place even if the box moves? How could I change that?
The AI isn't chasing me, unfortunately. But, it can move around. I just don't think it's detecting my character. Is it because I'm using a first person camera rather than a third person mode?
could you debug your behavour tree and check if it passes through the chase sequence?
Same
Won't work on first person i think
i had the same problem, it worked to delet the pawn sensing and then add it again
Yes if you are using same settings as him. Don't know if you are using settings according to your fps camera. From Settings i mean the name the ai has to chase
Having the same issue, currently debugging & brain storming. Surely it is a simple fix. Even removing the entire left side & leaving just the chase side, it just won't go through. I followed the steps to a T with one exception: I cast to my custom player character blueprint instead of the third person, which is built off of the first person template player character.
The same cast work for all else in my project so i don't believe I've casted wrong.
Will post update if I find problem/solution.
Hey i'm having issues with my AI it doesn't seem to return back to patrolling when line of sight is broken is that intentional?

Everytime Gorka says basically. you take a shot.
Call an ambulance first.
Hello i try to hide from the ai , but everything i tried dont work , is look like the ai can see me everywhere , how can i hide or put off sensing when my character is hide in the locker for exemple ?
Question how would i tell my enemy AI not to chase me anymore when
im out of line of site?
Thanks
My behaviour tree always says inactive...

How would you do this in Multiplayer? And than I mean with chasing the player, tried some things but didn't work and just got errors.
this tutorial is useless, the dude doesnt know how truly programming works at all.
hey!
Thank you for the guide.
so my AI is roaming around like they should, but when they see me and start "chasing" they go in weird directions, aka not following me(I see that the chasing sequence is applied in the behavior tree)
Mine just stops did you find a solution?
For me, it was because I forgot to check a value for is player seen
mine only goes to waiting and just skipp the Moving part...
I get to the point where I put in the Nav Mesh Volume, lock the values to 50 and after that it just starts to "Build Navigation (8)" for eternity and there is like one little green square on my big ass plane. Can someone help?
So basically it never completes the nav mesh?
@@GorkaGames Yes. It just keeps building navigation :/
@@GorkaGames I got it. It Works again. Don't know why though.
How do i hide from the enemy like in a locker or under a bed?
Would be wise to mention z axis mismatch. Depending on the target location you are assigning to "AI Move To" It may silent fail if the z value is by default 0 and thus in the floor. Best way to do this is hard set any AI move to Z axis to the same as the character if the map is flat. If it isn't, you need to get the proper z axis value from your nav mesh which is.... a shitshow. Lots of moving target actors up and down a pixel or two because "WHY TF CAN'T HE GO THERE?! IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE OTHER IDENTICAL TARGET!"
Not noticing it is a single pixel lower in the level and thus the AI controller thinks "oh, that location is in the ground, I can't go there. bec for some reason the margin of error for "AI Move To" only applies to its 'success' bool, not that actual pathing or any other aspect of the function. Do the character end up within that radius? success. Not, go to any spot within that distance of the target.
Is there a way I can make a prompt that lets you know the enemy is chasing you? Like an eye opening and closing.
I added an audio on my enemy's BP and when his close, the music slowly increases as he closes the distance
i think you miss with blackboard section
please recreate this video

How to make a flying or swiming AI?
that would be a cool tutorial to make, I will note it down!
Hi. i want to ask something.
you made the navmesh so big that you didnt encounter this issue. but when i exit the navmesh the AI stops working. doesnt goes to random roam. please send some ideas over here
Found a solution?
@@Nucids23 I just created more navmesh boxes to cover every area I expected the ai to move in. Turning them, scaling them to fit.
As for having the Ai return to roaming when they LOSE the player, as in, the player gets far enough away and hides behind something- to get them to go back to searching.

can anyone tell me how to abort the chase player if the pawn out of range or interrupted by obstacle
Anyone know why that when I package the project nothing works with the AI behavior ?
Hmm everything else worked but for somereason he wont chase my character?
probably the nav mesh unloaded. Just re-open de level
