Summary

In this chapter, we started by introducing game AI and discussing why it is important for our gaming experience. Then, we illustrated most of the used game AI techniques and what they are capable of. The corresponding UE4 tools for game AI were also mentioned to provide a bigger picture of the content we will cover throughout this book. In the next chapter, we will create our basic AI by setting up an AI-controlled player and adding some simple behavior to it.
