Creating AI Algorithms Using Kismet in UDK

Overview

In this tutorial, we will explore how to create algorithms with Kismet that will control enemy behavior for your games made with the Unreal Development Kit (UDK). You will learn to exploit the secrets of Kismet to model effective Artificial Intelligence (AI) for bots.

Kismet is a powerful tool for designers aiming to craft combat sequences and gameplay for their games using the Unreal Engine.

By the end of this tutorial, you will be capable of:

• Spawning bots.
• Sending bots on pre-scripted or random paths.
• Instructing bots to crouch, chase the player, and shoot on sight.
• Making bots evade when hit.

This tutorial also provides methods to exploit the advantages of sequences and explains the concept of using black boxes when scripting behaviors.

Software required:
