In this tutorial we build a Guardian Skywatcher from Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild in Unreal Engine 4. To do this we use a combination of blueprints and AI Behavior Trees. This is an intermediate tutorial and involves the use of Actor Components, AI Controllers, Blackboards, Behavior Trees, Behavior Tree Tasks, Behavior Tree Services, and Blackboard Based Decorator Conditions. Also includes a few tips like using Function Libraries and how to set up your project.
Covered in this tutorial:
- Rotating Scene Component (to rotate selective components from Behavior Trees rather than entire actors)
- Rotate guardian head only to look for player
- Rotate guardian head only to face and follow player
- Integrate custom pawn sensing with the new Rotating Scene Component
- Build a shitty skywatcher body
- Build a flying patrol behavior
- Build a laser targeting and player chase behavior

About this channel
I'm an Australian solo developer who loves making mysterious adventure games. My tutorials focus on blueprints, artificial intelligence, random generation, and multiplayer, and are designed for both beginner and experience Unreal Engine developers . My videos are not short because short videos to grab attention are often superficial, contain poor habits and practices, and I feel are rehearsed and carefully scripted in a way that feels inhuman and artificial. My tutorials by comparison and long, comprehensive, and often contain mistakes which we diagnose and correct as we go along. I try to keep it real, have fun, and do my best to teach you the art of game development as a whole rather than just technical information. It's my intention to have you come away from my tutorials feeling more confident, empowered, creative, inspired, and like you've got a friend and mentor who is here to help you in whatever way he can along your Unreal journey.
Thanks for tuning in, wishing you a fun, creative, and productive day.
Love Jackson 💕
