UE5 Enemy AI Showcase

This project showcases 4 separate enemies that have unique attacks and movement sets. This is to show my capability with UE5 blueprints, AI systems, behavioral trees, AI logic and decision making, enemy senses, and coordination between multiple enemies.

Controls for the player:

• WASD movement
• Spacebar to jump
• Shift to dash in direction of movement*
• Change player attack stance
  • Press 1 : Equip Sword and Shield
    • Left click to slash up to 3 times in succession for a combo
    • Right click to Parry/Block some incoming attacks*
    • Medium speed
  • Press 2 : Equip Magic
    • Left click to cast an energy ball that deals damage and can intercept projectiles
    • Slow speed
  • Press 0 (or number of already active stance again) : Unequipped
    • No attacks
    • Fast speed

*(Dashing) Take care when dashing near walls or when falling downwards as your character can teleport through walls and the ground and fall off the map!

*(Blocking attacks) Most attacks can be blocked with the shield but not all of them. Ranged attacks can all be blocked and melee attacks can be blocked if they are not a big AOE attack or leap attack. The only exception is the swordsman's spin attack, though it can be blocked it goes on for longer than the block animation! Try perfectly timing a block against an attack for a parry!
