  4. AI Techniques • “I built an audio/visual event manager into the Unreal engine so NPCs could detect things like footsteps, gunshots, smashed windows, objects hitting the ground, drawn weapons, screams, distress, etc. -- and more importantly, it could distingish between them. I also wrote behaviors for the NPCs so they could react appropriately to these events.” • http://www.planetdeusex.com/features/interviews/martin/

  5. Tools Used to Implement AI • Unreal Engine • AI pathfinding • Beefed-Up States • UnrealED • UnrealScript • Visual C++

  6. NPCs Notice Changes within Environment Set Number of NPCs NPC Dialogue Varied Attacks Poor Peripheral Vision Only One Weapon Per NPC (usually) Strengths & Weaknesses

  7. AI’s Affect on Game Play • Not Too Overpowering • Limited Area of Affect • NPC Dialogues Much More Interesting • Storyline Has A Lot to do With This
