Behavior Designer Pro 3 – DOTS Powered Behavior Trees v3.0.0p1
“If possible, please buy the package to support the developer”
Description
Behavior Designer Pro is the definitive behaviour tree solution for both your GameObject and Entity-based workflow.
No DOTS experience is required. Behavior Designer Pro works with GameObjects or Entities, allowing you to choose the workflow that best fits your project. You can adopt DOTS gradually, mix architectures, or use a fully data-oriented setup all while authoring behavior trees visually inside Unity.
By leveraging DOTS for efficient data layout and processing, Behavior Designer Pro reduces the overhead of AI systems and ensures performance remains consistent and predictable as your project scales. These performance gains are noticeable even with a small number of agents, freeing up resources for other aspects of your project.
