AI with Shooter

[jasonweise]

Hello

Has anyone managed to have AI characters use the shooter functionality.
I can create AI characters that can Melee the shooter character but I would like the enemies to be able to shoot at the player.

Is there any third party AI assets that integrate well with the Shooter functionality that can enable this.

I figure people must be doing it, and I know there is a new AI in the works but I need something for a demo a soon and I'm not sure how far off the new AI features are.

Thanks in advance for any help (I don't mind purchasing another 3rd Party AI package if there is one that is simple to integrate - with cover would be awesome), just need some advice on the best way to accomplish this.

Hi brother,
hope you are having an awesome day!

your demands are quite high lol :P
anyways there is only 1 shooter ai with cover system as far as I know of on the asset store but i don't know if anyone has ever used it with Invector 's Template.

You can see it here :

You can talk to it's dev if he can perhaps help you with it's integration.

And in a few days I will also be working on an AI solution but that is for the Zombie(which don't shoot or hide in cover). 

But I suggest that you SHOULD wait for next AI update.

Happy Coding!!!

Thank you for your reply Hamzah.
The asset you linked looks really great, hopefully it would not be too difficult to integrate though looking at the features I can imagine a lot of work will be required.

Do you happen to know when the AI update might be coming out, if not too long I might wait for that as I am sure it would have great features.

Well only Invector can answer its arrival... 
But I can tell you that it will be the greatest AI solution we can have for our shooter game!!!

This will do pretty much all of the things you are asking for.

Do not be fooled by the "very bad" animations in the videos, it is actually a very complex AI system, it does require work to get tuned the way you may want it to be though. Also ICE Creature control will do these things as well, but again it is a very complex system as what you are asking for are not just a few lines of code to accomplish.
And then there is Behavior Designer, which may be the most confusing to work with but with studying how behavior trees work you can figure it out, and they are used by most major companies. 

All of these will integrate with Invector, ICE is the easiest as Pit(the author) will give you the integration, but using almost any other AI with Invector is not too bad to Implement if you study how they receive and deal damage.
