Abstract

Od kraja 90-ih godina prošlog stoljeća, industrija video igara raste sa svakom godinom. Video
igra kao produkt može biti rezultat individue, malog tima do zajedničkog rada desetke možda
i stotine različitih stručnjaka. Uz današnju razinu povezanosti preko interneta i nove poslovne
paradigme od strane velikih kompanija koje proizvode programe za razvoj video igara, znanje
i resursi su veoma dostupni za sve koji su voljni okušati se u jednom ili više aspekata razvoja
videoigara.
Umjetna inteligencija je ključna komponenta u velikom broju modernih videoigra. Uz novi
besplatni Unreal Engine 5 od strane Epic Gamesa, ovaj rad nadograđuje osnovni paket za
pucačinu iz prvog lica koja dolazi s programom. Dodavanjem brojnih komponenata osnovni
paket proširuje s karakterima koji mogu samostalno surađivati međusobno i s igračem. Prvi
dio rada prolazi kroz skromne početke žanra pucačine iz prvog lica, te prati napredak sustava
za umjetnu inteligenciju kroz nadolazeće naslove. Kroz važnije naslove prolazi kroz nove
sustave, njihovu logiku i implementaciju unutar video igrice te razmatramo napredak tih
sustava.
Drugi dio rada, projekt, razgrađuje nove komponente dodane u paket i objašnjava njihovu
logiku i ulogu unutar cijelog sustava video igrice. Od važnijih komponenata u projekt dodaje
novi prošireni okoliš s navigacijskom mrežom, četiri suigrača s umjetnom inteligencijom koja
reagira i sudjeluje u borbi te sustav zdravlja i ponovnog stvaranja za igrača i suigrače. Svaki
od novih komponenata ima svoju ulogu, svoj kod i logiku izvedbe te rad prolazi kroz njih.

Abstract (english)

From the end of the 90s of the previous century the videogame industry has a steady annual
growth. Video game as a product can be the result of an individual, a small team or joint
effort from tenths if not hundreds of different experts. With todays level of connection
through the Internet and new buisness paradigms from big companies which produce
programs for development of video games, knowledge and resources are easily available for
anyone willing to try their hand at one or more aspects of video game development.
Artificial intelligence is a key component in a large number of modern video games. With
new free Unreal Engine 5 from Epic Games, this thesis upgrades the first person template
project which arrives standard with the program. By adding multiple components the standard
package is expanded with characters able to interact with themselves and with the player
without additional input. First part of the thesis goes over humble beginnings of the first
person shooter genre, and follows the advancements of the systems for artificial intelligence
through future titles. Through the important titles it goes through new systems, their logic and
their implementation within the video game and observe the improvements of those systems.
Second part of the thesis, the project, breaks down the new components added into the
package and explains their logic and role within the whole system of a video game. Of the
more important components it adds new expanded playing enviroment with the matching
navigation mesh, four characters with artificial intelligence which reacts and takes part in
combat and a health and respawn system for the player and the characters. Each of the new
components has his own role, code and logic of execution, and the thesis goes through them.
