Understanding the Environment Query System
The Environment Query System (EQS) in Unreal Engine is a powerful feature within the AI framework that allows developers to collect data about the virtual environment by letting AI agents query the environment and make informed decisions based on the returned results. In this chapter, you will learn how to properly set up an environment query and how to integrate it inside the behavior tree of an AI agent.
By mastering the EQS, you’ll gain the power to create intelligent AI systems that can make informed decisions based on their surroundings. Whether it’s finding the best vantage point, locating crucial resources, or strategizing for optimal gameplay, the EQS opens a world of possibilities. While still an experimental feature, learning about the EQS will let you create intelligent and dynamic AI systems in Unreal Engine.
In this chapter, we will be covering the following topics:
