Work Experience Journal - Day 6

I started learning more about AI by following another online tutorial from Virtus to help me make better sense of AI for use in the enemy AI. I did this to get a wide array of opinions to see how other people would code AI. I also did it to match them altogether and weight the pros and cons between them. During the tutorial, my knowledge of blueprinting for AI has increased a bit. While I didn't learn about new blueprints or strengthen the information gained during the tutorial from Unreal it did help me reinforce my knowledge on blueprinting in the event graph.

The lead developer fixed the flickering lights code by promoting "materials and other things like widgets to their own variable, then modify that variable and set it at the end of the function. Otherwise the dynamic material won't affect the light." Once again I'm becoming more and more acquainted with material blueprints.
