NodeCanvas is a powerful tool for creating advanced AI behaviours and logic in Unity. It provides three interchangeable graph modules: Behaviour Trees, State Machines, and Dialogue Trees. The tool features a sleek and intuitive visual node editor, with a range of features such as undo/redo, zoom, minimap, and more. It also includes graph, game object, asset, and scene global blackboard variables, as well as data-bound variables with instance or static properties and fields. NodeCanvas is used by many popular games, including The Long Dark, Hand of Fate 2, and Hurtworld, and has been actively developed since 2014. It offers a range of features, including reusable behaviour graphs, seamless sub-graphs nesting, and modular action and condition tasks. It also includes a range of game-oriented premade actions and conditions, and can be extended with custom actions, conditions, and nodes. NodeCanvas is user-friendly, lightweight, and has a clean and well-documented API. It also includes a range of third-party asset integrations, and supports all platforms out-of-the-box.
