    I am a newbie to the world of game design and now I need help with AI scripting.
    Just to let everyone know that I have knowledge of coding. I just wanted to take it to the next step and learn AI.
    Can anyone provide me with a PDF about Unity AI scripting for beginners?
    Thanks.

    Well AI is a complex subject, but when dealing with Unity, there is no extra stuff to do to learn AI scripting. You only need to know gameplay programming in Unity, which you can master by watching official Unity tutorials. Only thing you may count as a problem is that the algorithm or the logic of the AI behaviour. Which can simply be dealt with by thinking a lot amd preparing draft sheets for your desired behaviour.

    AI in games is normally implemented as a finite state machine or a behaviour tree. Google those terms and you should find some details. Be warned AI is a very complex topic.

    Thanks for the replies... I think I will postpone learning AI and first try to master other aspects of unity scripting.
