UE5 Animate an AI Enemy in Unreal Engine 5 Third Person Template / AI Enemy #2
This video takes the enemy AI we developed in the last Unreal Engine 5 to chase our player around the screen, and animates the characters that we used.
In later tutorials we will add health, damage, user interface, and more.
This tutorial is made in 5.03, but should also work on the latest UE5 builds.
