AI
-
Uses the Behavior Tree and EQS system. Implements Custom Queries, Generators, Tasks, and Services.

Ranged enemies will try to keep their distance from the player and keep moving to better pose themselves. They try to get around the covers when the player's behind.
-
Ranged weapon is set to have some random spray to avoid super accurate enemies.
-
Minions will try to find and pick up donuts to recover when they have low health and are not contested.
Directional hit reaction.

A flexible Attribute System. Hitflash material function and UMG UIs for better feedback.​
