Great tool for complex AI workflows that are extremely customizable, anything is possible. Requires quite a bit of plumbing code so might not be best for those looking for an easy/simple system. No issues in Uinty 2019.4.18

No longer supported or working.

Is Apex Game tools out of business? The web site is not responding...

Any chance of an update to Unity 2019

This is very helpful if you need to make an AI that needs to weigh in a lot of factors and then select the action that currently has the greatest utility. This is ideal for bots and similar AIs but may not be the best choice(most efficient way) to create more "linear" behaved agents.

Update: This asset seems to no longer be compatible with versions of Unity past 2019.3.7. Original Review --------------------- This has worked great for me. It has a bit of an initial learning curve, but the documentation was decent enough for me to get over it pretty quickly. Also when I had a question, my post on their forums was answered quickly. This asset basically sets up a nice framework for you to write your own modular AI nodes, which include scorers (produce a score based on some state of the game) and actions which will be performed based on the output from the scorers. Once you have a nice library of these AI nodes written, you can plug them into an AI graph structure quite easily. When I first started, progress was slow as I had to learn and get used to the system, and also write a new node every time I wanted to do something. After working with it for a few weeks, I had a good understanding of how it worked, and built up a library of nodes to very quickly create and modify AIs to do complex behavior. In my last project, I implemented my own behavior tree AI system. This asset has already saved me a ton of time compared to using that. I highly recommend this for an AI solution in your project, and that you take the time to learn how to use it.

Everything you need to create an optimized, deep, complex ai with great ease if you know how to code. Thank you for a great asset, leaps forward from using state machines, and behaviour trees.

This is NOT an AI system for beginners. Being familiar with Utility base AI before jumping in is a must. YOU WILL NEED TO READ THE DOCUMENTATION AND FOLLOW THE TUTORIALS. After that you have an extremely powerful tool. If you just want to play with Utility AI this may not be the best choice. However, if you are ready to move beyond throwing curves around and want a fully scriptable, and need hybrid behaviour tree/Utility AI solution like me then look no further. This is pure utility with a FANTASTIC UI for laying out and implementing your selectors and context related deliciousness in a BT like format.

Finally got something going with this asset, but man I felt like I just coded my own AI. I'm not sure about this asset, it works, but for me I didn't save any time when setting up AI for my game. I want to give the developer some credit cause I bought this asset realising that he was definitely on to something, but maybe it's just me but if you read this, was it always intentional that you would be writing a lot of your own code, or am I not following the tutorials correctly. Anyway 2 stars for now, maybe come back later if something changes... /***************************/ OK, thanks for the sugestion, will definitely drop you a line, just doing some family stuff right now. Added extra star, keen to make this a five star asset after all it does work but preserving for later... I'll be back...

when using this with their own Apex Path, there are eventually too many components to handle, and after a while you're just too tired to figure out which component you are supposed to use under what circumstances. I ended up spending a month on things that i could have achieved using Behaviour Designer in a week. It's a cool thing, with cool concept, but un-necessarily complex for most AI situations. The developer promised a SIMS-like demo months ago, but i figure they also get trapped into some complexity hellhole of their own plugin. ======================== I never deny the AI tool is powerful, i have no trouble to understand the tool, it's just overly complex for simple use cases, and hardly manageable for advanced use cases. There are too many components of this and that, and when they grow linearly, the potential interactions among them grow exponentially, and becomes very tiresome to maintain. All in all, the project is cool in concept, but honestly too exhausting. There are too many usability issues with the editor too, but I can't tweak them since no source code is provided, which is weird since the Utility AI is simpler than Apex Path and Apex Path somehow provides the source code
