Learning how to use Smart Objects will let you, the developer, create dynamic and interactive environments that enhance gameplay and improve AI behavior for a more immersive player experience.
In this chapter, you will learn the basics of Smart Objects interactivity. We will visit a simple example of how to make AI agents interact with a smart object.
In this chapter, we will be covering the following topics:
- Introducing Smart Objects
- Creating a Smart Object Definition data asset
