What is EQS ?
EQS, short for Environment Query System, is a system designed to evaluate a set of points in the game world and score them based on various customizable tests. These tests determine the "best" point for AI or other systems to interact with, like finding a safe spot, targeting an enemy, or selecting a path to follow.
Features of My Implementation :
- Custom Tests: Includes Distance, Visibility, and even custom queries like targeting entities based on tags.
- Priority System: Tests can have assigned priorities, ensuring the most important criteria take precedence.
- Dynamic Scoring: Fully supports weighted scoring, allowing nuanced decision-making.
- Debug UI: Comes with a user interface for visualizing and testing EQS behaviors in real-time.
- Expandable: Easily extendable to integrate additional tests, including future pathfinding.
Why It Matters
With this EQS implementation, developers can:
- Build smarter AI that reacts dynamically to the environment.
- Create versatile systems that adapt based on game states.
- Save development time with reusable and scalable query logic.
