GTA-Inspired NPC Spawner in Unreal Engine 5: Part 2 - Randomized NPCs #sponsored
19In this second part of the Grand Theft Auto-inspired NPC Spawner series, I show you how to expand our NPC spawner by introducing data assets to create fully randomized NPCs in Unreal Engine 5. This tutorial focuses on adding randomness and variety to the NPCs, making them unique as they spawn across different locations on the map. Using data assets, we’ll define attributes such as appearance and behaviour, creating a flexible framework for future NPC customizations.
If you’re building an open-world game or simply want to learn about data-driven NPC spawning, this tutorial will help you step up your game. Don’t forget to check out Part 1 if you haven’t already, where I set up the basic spawning system!
Let me know in the comments what you’d like to see next in the series!
Enjoy the tutorial and happy developing
