[RELEASED] Emerald AI 3.2 (New Sound Detection) - The Ultimate Universal AAA Quality AI Solution

This is a Unity bug. See my post here for a quick fix.

 

With the extend time, were you able to squeeze in stats, mana, stam, rage types at all?!

 

Thanks, here are screenshots from the editor, the first is the hierarchy, and the second one while running in the editor.

 

Were you able to make any changes in this new version that supports non-combat NPCs? I'd like to utilize this for town NPCs too, that will walk around, stop, perform some action, then continue walking along a path. Just wondering.

 

@BHS The API associated with the Faction does not work. Example: Two AIs with factions “HUM” and “ORK”, initially neutral (or friend) to each other. Once through the trigger, they should become hostile towards each other and attack. Factions change, this can be seen in the inspector, but they ignore faction changes. If you manually change the faction during the Play mod, it also does not change anything. Only if they are initially, before turning on the Play mod, hostile to each other, will they attack. But dynamically changing the attitude of the Factions does nothing. I also tried resetting the target using the API, but it didn't help.
Script exaple:

using UnityEngine;
using EmeraldAI;
public class LandChangeFraction : MonoBehaviour {
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (other.gameObject.tag == "EmeraldAITag")
{
other.gameObject.GetComponent<EmeraldAIEventsManager>().SetFactionLevel("ORK", "Enemy"); other.gameObject.GetComponent<EmeraldAIEventsManager>().SetFactionLevel("HUM", "Enemy");
}
}
}

P.S. I've also tried doing this in reverse, where hostile AIs become friendly to each other. But that doesn't work either. They attack each other as soon as they come into sight.

 

I looked at the code a little - apparently the API does not provide for resetting the target (target to null),
if for example, from enemy AI became friendly:

public void SetCombatTarget(Transform Target)
{
if (EmeraldComponent.ConfidenceRef != EmeraldAISystem.ConfidenceType.Coward && Target != null)
{
EmeraldComponent.EmeraldDetectionComponent.SetDetectedTarget(Target);
EmeraldComponent.m_NavMeshAgent.ResetPath();
EmeraldComponent.m_NavMeshAgent.stoppingDistance = EmeraldComponent.AttackDistance;
EmeraldComponent.m_NavMeshAgent.destination = Target.position;
}
else if (Target == null)
{
Debug.Log("The SetCombatTarget paramter is null. Ensure that the target exists before calling this function.");
}
}

 

Hi @BHS Any idea ? Thanks !

 

any news regarding the update?

 

Loving the ambient AI features.
New music video

 

Any Fmod Implementation?

 

Hello! I am making a game that the player has the ability to instantiate walls. however, the AI won't collide with them, and this ability should be used as a "shield". Any ideas on what I am doing wrong or what I could do to achieve this?

 

add a navmesh obstacle on the walls prefab maybe?

 

@BHS wondering if Emerald AI 4 will have a robust agent avoidance feature or at least a possibility to setup the AI to circle the enemy and not to push each other in case there are more that 2,3 AIs..

 

sometimes puting navmesh obstacle on agent helps other agent to avoid other agents, sometimes it show warning too

 

You can try runtime navmesh generation with navmesh components, in 2022 lts they are built in as default.

 

Hello,

what is the minimum supported Unity version for the upcoming Emerald?

 

I'm trying to get the player controller to block the EmeraldAI NPCs attack. How would i go about doing that? i use the "EmeraldAIEventsManager>().CancelAttackAnimation();" but that only cancels the next attack animation and does not stop the actual animation i'm trying to block. Any ideas?

 

Will Emerald AI (2023) have the ability to make enemies retreat even without root animation? Example: When I hit an enemy with a critical attack, they are pushed backwards

 

Hi, I've been waiting for the new version. Is there an approximate time frame?

 

He must have found a lot of issues with it and thus why he hasn't posted in a while.

 

He did posted this on discord- "The new version should be available by the end of next week.I will work on integrations, including RPG Builder, after the release of the new version."

 

Emerald AI 2023 should be available by the end of next week or early the following week. I’m just finishing the new wiki website and putting the demo scenes together so I feel pretty confident with this ETA.

 

Nope, I’ve just been bug testing and working on polishing up the mechanics. This update is absolutely massive so there’s lots to test and I want the release to go as smoothly as possible. Emerald AI 2023 should be available by the end of next week or early the following week.

 

Is there anything new beyond status update 3?

 

@BHS Tell me pls, will the AI have a modifier similar to Armor (to partially absorb damage) in new update?

 

Hello,

I am having trouble using Emerald AI with Dismembering by Hartvigs IT.

Has anyone used them together or have any advice on how to get them to play nice together?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Will there be a Puppet Master integration with the new update?

 

Any update on this?!

 

Hey team - got a problem where for Ranged attacks the enemy is spawning two instances of the projectile one after each other... and i'm not sure why or how ;(
