Blaze AI Engine

A full-fledged, modern and highly customizable enemy AI engine for all your game needs. Whether your enemy is melee, ranged or cover shooter. Blaze AI has got you covered.

WHAT IS BLAZE AI?

The easiest & most feature-rich universal AI engine you'll ever use. If you want enemy AIs in your game no matter the genre, Blaze will build any game object of your choice and make it intelligent, realistic and challenging for your game. It can literally turn a cube into a patrolling agent with no programming needed.

THE POWER OF BLAZE AI

You'll be able to create any enemy type using Blaze AI. For example:

• Wandering/fleeing animals or brainless zombies ✅
• Smart AIs that respond to the environment and corrdinate their attacks ✅
• Cover shooter AI that fires, hides behind cover and tries not to get shot ✅
• Ranged AI that throws spears from a distance ✅
• A melee brute fighter ✅
• An agile AI that can jump, drop and climb ladders ✅
• A companion AI that can do all the above ✅

FRAMEWORK-FREE APPROACH

Blaze AI offers a very simplistic approach to building your AIs and doesn't force a certain methodology or framework. However and whatever you want to do, Blaze gives you the freedom to do it in any way. This means Blaze is integratable with any system or asset out there. No matter what. As it leaves you to connect the gaps together between systems in any way you like. It also works with visual scripting.

MODULAR & STATE-INDEPENDANT DESIGN

Every state has it's own behaviour script which is a MonoBehaviour that can either be edited or even written from sctach for highly-customizable behaviour. Lastly, not all states need to be used. Use what you need and leave the rest empty.

DYNAMIC BEHAVIOUR SWITCHING

The AI design gives you the ability to dynamically switch the behaviour of the AI whenever you need. For example: you can have a shooter or ranged AI but when the target gets too close, switch to the melee behaviour and so on. This applies to all states and you've full control.

EASE OF ANIMATION (& ROOT MOTION)

Animations in Blaze are a breath of fresh air. Drag and drop your animation to the Animator and type that animation name in Blaze where you want it to be played and that's it! No transitions or triggers. Nothing! Blaze will do all of the work for you and you'll get to keep your animator clean and organized. Root motion is also supported.

OFF MESH LINKS

Blaze AI is proudly the first and only AI on the store to support off mesh links with an incredibly smart integration that can be dynamically turned on or off. Blaze AI agents can jump, fall and climb ladders. Also works with animation root motion and AI companions too!

COMPANION MODE

Blaze doesn't only help you to create enemies but friends too. Have an AI backup your player through thick and thin using the highly flexible companion mode and fight other AIs together. Order your companion to stay put, follow, attack an enemy, go to a certain location and more.

RAGDOLL SUPPORT

Supports ragdolls on death and on knock out (a feature where an AI ragdolls and gets up back again). All with seamless transition and user-set force.

SPARE STATES (EMOTES)

Blaze gives you the ability to create what is called spare states. These are custom states that you create and can call at any time. It helps you invoke specific events, run custom behaviour, play animations & audio. A simple example is creating a spare state that taunts the player mid-combat (emote) or blocking player attacks.

CUSTOMIZABILITY

You'll be surprised by the level of customizability and options you'll get. Set your own functionalities, animations, events and audios. Turn features on or off. You can always make your enemy types unique.

PERFORMANCE

Blaze AI is very optimized and is built with performance in mind. Also offering distance culling, vision cycle frames, vision performance mode, AI audios in scriptable object for less memory-footprint & settable layers in all physics operations.

APIs & PROGRAMMING

Blaze offers numerous APIs and access to properties to have full dynamic control over your AIs. All inspector properties can be accessed and changed dynamically via code to change how the AI may act in runtime. All APIs & public properties are listed in the docs.
