Zombie AI Hunger Attribute

[MissBig]

Hi, I am working on a complex Zombie AI using behavior Designer and UCC. I was wondering how would I do a hunger attribute, Like hunger starts at 100 then it decreases down. Is there a simple way of doing this. Maybe if possible without scripting.

Sure, you could just add a hunger attribute on your zombies. Check out https://opsive.com/support/documentation/ultimate-character-controller/attributes/decrease. Then you could have them go into a frenzy mode and rush your player when it bottoms out or something like that. No scripting required for the attribute, but you can access it pretty simply via the api methods at the bottom of the page.

Thank you for replying. I will try that once BD and UCC start working for me.

Hi, I still need to know this. I added hunger to the attribute manager on the zombie but how will I be able to get that value to use in Behavior Designer.

Justin made an awesome video on how to use BD with UCC.

I have seen that but it's not what I am looking for. I have an attribute of hunger so how will I get that Hunger attribute value through Behavior Designer. I have watched that tutorial a lot of times.

It's exactly what you're looking for. Do you have the UCC behaviors integrations installed? It works the same way he checks the players health since it's an attribute. If you have the UCC integrations for BD just assign a Get Attribute Value action, make a variable, specify a target game object and your attribute name and you're done.

Oh my gosh, I didn't even see that, thank you for that.

np, glad to hear! You can also write your own shared variables with custom actions like he uses in the video at around the 23 min mark. https://opsive.com/support/documentation/behavior-designer/variables/ if you're interested later down the line.
