unity-npc-behavior

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the common challenge of creating complex and believable NPC behaviors in Unity, moving beyond simple AI scripts to implement robust perception, decision-making, and action systems.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Modular Perception: Design NPCs that can "see," "hear," and sense their environment using pluggable components.
• Data-Driven Decisions: Create distinct NPC archetypes (guards, civilians, etc.) by configuring their decision-making logic via ScriptableObjects, without code changes.
• Action Execution Pipeline: Implement realistic NPC actions with distinct phases (e.g., wind-up, strike, recovery) that can be interrupted.
• Faction & Memory Systems: Manage NPC relationships and their ability to remember past events, influencing their current behavior.
• Use Case: Develop a guard NPC that patrols an area, detects the player within a certain FOV and range, decides to engage based on its "AggroRange" setting, and then executes a melee attack with a wind-up animation.

Quick Start

Use the unity-npc-behavior skill to create a basic NPC with sight and hearing senses, a decision profile, and a melee attack action.
