AI Perception Turret Pro

The AI Perception Turret Pro project adds a turret, turret hacking terminal, bullet BP, examples of humanoid bot BPs (one for the enemy, one for the player's ally) and player, and many auxiliary assets* to your project.

Demonstration

Implementation guide

Basic Turret BP features:

- The turret has several main modes: patrolling & searching for a recently lost target (angle and style of rotation is customizable, adding your own rotation styles is supported), aiming and firing at the enemy;

- Turret has 5 perception senses: Sight, Hearing, Damage, Touch, Team_Sight. Of these, 3 senses I developed myself (Sight, Touch, Team_Sight), 2 are standard AI Perception senses (Hearing, Damage);

- Turret Sight sensor has two subsensors: one main one, and another one for close targets. No more blind spots if the enemy is too close to the turret!

- Turret Sight sensor can now be freely moved and attached to the socket you want;

- Turret Sight sensor can rotate both on the Z-axis (Yaw) and on the Y-axis (Pitch). Now turret Sight sensor won't miss its enemy even if enemy jumped up!

- (Optional) The angle of sight of the turret increases if it sees an enemy;

- (Optional) If a turret sees an enemy, it will always see him within Lose Sight Radius (unless he is hiding behind cover);

- Team_Sight Sensor: if a turret has seen an enemy, it informs its closest allies;

- Turret splits all targets into 3 groups by priority (from I to III) and attacks one by one and according to sorting rules (you can add your own rules)**:

   - I. Turret sees the target right now;

   - II. Turret has previously detected this target with one of its sensors AND the target was not hiding behind cover at the time of detection;

   - III. Turret has previously detected this target with one of its sensors BUT the target was hiding at the time of detection.

- Factions Support: turret can be both an ally for the player and an enemy;

- Hacking support: turret can be hacked through the terminal (you can add a new turret to the terminal in a few clicks + the project supports integration of your own hacking mechanics, such as password input, mini-games during hacking, etc.), after hacking turret becomes an ally for the player;

- (Optional) Turret emits laser beams for better visibility of its field of sight;

- Customizable appearance (including color and thickness of lasers);

- Customizable amount of lives + (optional) HealthBar widget;

- Customizable damage value, hit range, and bullet speed.

Some other project features:

- BP Bullet allows you to create custom settings (such as damage, range, speed) for each class;

- Each bot and player has a health score, if the value becomes 0, the actor dies;

- (Optional) Each bot has a health widget, the display range is customizable.

** Note that target sorting occurs each time the last target selected for attack is killed/lost, or if the last selected target location was checked by the turret and no target was found there (for optimization).
