About the project
I am creating this project in the Unreal engine so I can grow my knowledge of how the engine works and understand the fundamentals of blueprints and C++
This is a personal project that I have had for a few years now where I am recreating a town I live near into a hoard, survival shooter.
For the first part of this project, I wanted to start with the AI it simple so that it could patrol around the map and avoid obstacles but then when the player gets in a certain radios it then will move to the player I didn't get the attack stage done but will implement that next.
I changed up the behavior tree so that the AI will only patrol when the player is outside of their range and if it's in that range it will go to found player to move towards the player and then attack the player when in range. This is very simple for now but later down the line will improve it so it feels cleaner when playing.
As I wanted to try to learn C++ I made a quick health script just so that if the enemy has 0 health then it dies but I will make it so that when they die they turn into rag dolls when I get around to doing that. I will be making a system that will give the player XP as well upon death.
