What is a blackboard in AI?

Each behavior tree must be accompanied with at least one Blackboard. A Blackboard is a component that stores values for each behavior tree that is associated with. This meas that instead of declaring possible variables in the AI character of controller, we can extend all this functionality here.

Can you make AI in Unreal Engine?

However, if you want to get the most out of the engine, you can (and probably should) use Behavior Trees. So, let’s explain what this is.

What is the Boolean key in Blackboard?

The Blackboard contains several user defined Keys that hold information used by the Behavior Tree to make decisions. For example, you could have a Boolean Key called Is Light On which the Behavior Tree can reference to see if the value has changed.

What is a behavior tree in Unreal Engine 4?

Behavior Trees assets in Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) can be used to create artificial intelligence (AI) for non-player characters in your projects. While the Behavior Tree asset is used to execute branches containing logic, to determine which branches should be executed, the Behavior Tree relies on another asset called a Blackboard which serves as the "brain" for a Behavior Tree.

1 - Required Project Setup

In this step, we'll set up our project with some of the assets we'll need for our AI as well as enable the EQS system.

2 - Environment Query Context

In this step, we establish a Context for the EQS system of the Player Character that will be used in Tests later in the guide.

3 - EQS Setup

In this step, we jump into the EQS editor and set up the Tests for finding a location that has line of sight to the Player Character.

4 - Blackboard and Behavior Tree Setup

In this step, we set up the Blackboard Keys and layout the branches of our Behavior Tree.

6 - Behavior Tree: In Combat Setup

In this step, we set up the tasks associated with the In Combat branch including our EQS_FindPlayer query used to find a location that has line of sight to the Player Character.

7 - AI Controller Setup

In this step we set up our AI Controller to run our Behavior Tree as well as provide a way for the AI to see the Player Character using AI Perception.

8 - Final Setup

In this step, we set up the enemy AI Character Blueprint, add the Tag Player to the Player Character Blueprint so it can be perceived by the AI, and add a Nav Mesh Bounds Volume and some meshes so the AI knows how to move around the environment and we can break line of sight easier.
