2. Enemy AI
- Behavior Trees & Perception: Built combat AI using Behavior Trees, Blackboards, and AI Perception to track targets and handle combat states.
- Custom C++ Tasks: Wrote C++ tasks for AI attack evaluation and movement logic.
3. Menu & UI Systems
- UMG Architecture: Created modular UMG widget classes for settings, gameplay HUDs, and garage configurations.
- UI Optimization: Used delegate event listeners for UI updates instead of per-frame ticks.
