Muse Behavior - Nodes List

System

Execute

It’s the root of a behavior graph. It is required for a behavior tree to execute. You can use multiple of them in a Muse Behavior graph to have more than one tree.

 

Action

 

Add Force	It applies force in any direction to an object. You can set the force using the values in “Move in direction of”. The more distant the direction in which the object is to move, the greater the force with which it will move. This node requires object physics to be enabled and its weight to be light (<10).
Attach Object	It attaches an object to another object with an offset, as follows: X = on the left of the object, Y = above the object, and Z = behind the object. The physics on the attached object should be disabled. Idea: Attach an object to your character so he can carry it to another location.
Camera look at	It makes the camera look at an object. Idea: After spawning an item, make the camera look at it so that the player doesn’t miss it.
Change Behavior	It changes the behavior of a nonplayable character as follows:  Default: default character behavior is specific to each character type Guard: the character stands in one place and will not move Follow: the character follows and defends the player Flee: The character always runs away from enemies Roams: the character roams around the map randomly Deathmatch: the character always finds and attacks the enemies Ideas: After a dialogue, your interlocutor's behavior changes to Follow, as if you've just convinced him or her to join your adventure. After picking up an item, modify an NPC's behavior to attack in response to your theft.
Change Camera	It changes the camera type of a playable character to: First-person view Third-person view Top-down view Idea: Change the camera view from third-person to first-person when your character enters a building to make the action more intense or to disable the player's ability to see behind walls.
Change Door	It changes the state of a door or gate by opening or closing it. Idea: Interacting with a specific Game Object or collecting a specific Pickup will open a door.
Change Environment	It changes some environment settings: The gravity intensity: the range goes from 0.5 for a very low gravity to 2, you need to set up a value in between. 1 is the default value. The water height: the range goes from 0 for now water to 12 for a very high water level. 0 is the default value. The light intensity: the range goes from 0 for very dark to 3 for very bright. 1.9 is the default value.  The fog intensity: the range goes from 0 for no fog to 50 for a very heavy fog. 0 is the default value.  Ideas: Modify gravity as you leave your spaceship to simulate weightlessness. The floor is lava: raise the water level (lava) as time goes by to force your character to climb. Gradually dim the lights to create a more sinister atmosphere.
Change Stat	It changes the stats of an object to a value: MaxHealthPoints: increases the maximum health, for destroyable objects CurrentHealthPoints: sets the object’s current health to a certain amount (which cannot be higher than maximum health) ExtraLives: gives extra lives, for destroyable objects MovementSpeed: for characters AttackPower: for characters JumpPower: for characters RewardedPoints: for destroyable objects EnemyDetectionRange: mostly for characters Weight: for objects with Physics enable EngineMaxSpeed: for vehicles EnginePower: for vehicles BrakePower: for vehicles Ideas: Increase the maximum health after the player has collected a magic gem. Increase attack power after the player has been exposed to toxic smoke. Reduce jump power when the character's inventory contains items.
Change Team	It changes the team of a playable object. Idea: Turn a neutral character into an enemy after a dialog.
Change Weather	It changes the weather of the scene for: Clear Rain Storm Snow Blizzard Sandstorm Idea: Stops the rain when the character enters a building and restarts it when he leaves.
Clear Inventory	It removes everything from the player’s inventory. Idea: Use it after dialogue to give the impression that your character has given an object to the other person.
Deal Damage	It deals damage to an object. Idea: Use it in combination with the On Proximity condition, so that walking close to toxic smoke causes damage.
Destroy	It destroys an object. The object needs to be Destroyable (in the Health and Damage settings).
Detach Object	It detaches an attached object. You need to use it in combination with the Attach Object node.  Idea: Attach a box to your character and detach it later to help him access another part of the map.
End Game	It triggers the end of the game session and chooses win/lose. Ideas: Make any Pickup a victory item. Collide with an object to trigger the end of the game. End the game after a dialog with a specific character.
Heal	It restores an object's health. The object needs to be destroyable.  Ideas: The end of a dialogue with an NPC restores your health. Create a healing zone by combining the Heal node with an On collision with a platform.
Look at	It makes a character look at another object. For the player, this only works in the first-person view. Otherwise, it's mostly used to make NPCs look at something. Ideas: Make all the NPCs look at the player when he enters the room. In first-person view, make your character look at a specific weapon or pickup to make sure the player doesn’t miss it.
Move to Object	It moves one object towards another. Set up the speed at which the object moves: 0.2 is very slow, 10 is fast, 20 (and above) is very fast. Idea: Make a victory pickup going away from the player on a parkour game.
Move to Vector	It moves an object towards a vector position in the scene. Set up the speed at which the object moves: 0.2 is very slow, 10 is fast, 20 (and above) is very fast. Idea: Move a car to a position in a city to bring the environment to life.
Play Animation	It plays an animation on a character: Idle Jump Attack Hit (take_damage) Die Different attack types for different weapon types (note that this doesn't equip the character with the corresponding weapon, it just plays with the animation) Idea: Play the Die animation to simulate NPCs’ death.
Play Sound	It plays a sound on an object. You can choose from different ambient sounds. Idea: Play a sound on a horror sound on a pickup to make it scary.
Position	It changes the position of an object. Unlike moving to a vector, here you need to determine the time required for the object to reach this new position.  Idea: Set the time to 0 to teleport the object.
Rotate	It rotates an object by a given degree within a chosen time. Idea: Rotate a wall by 90° on the Y axis to open a secret passage.
Scale	It scales an object on an axis within a chosen time.  X for width, Y for height, Z for thickness. Use the same values on all 3 axes to avoid distorting the object. Use a positive value to make the object bigger and a negative one to make it smaller (between 0 and -1). Ideas: You can rescale vehicles using this node. Scale up or down a character to give him access to another part of the map.
Spawn	It spawns an object at a vector position. To use this node, you need to add the object you want to appear to your scene. It will not be visible in game mode until it has been spawned. You can create a new reference for this newly created GameObject in case you want to use other logic with it.  Ideas: Spawn a new enemy when the player defeats one. Spawn a pickup somewhere after the player talked to an NPC.
Spawn at Object	It spawns an object at another object with an offset. To use this node, you need to add the object you want to appear to your scene. It will not be visible in game mode until it has been spawned. You can create a new reference for this newly created GameObject in case you want to use other logic with it.  Ideas: Use it to spawn a new enemy when the player defeats one. Use it to spawn a pickup somewhere after the player talks to an NPC.
Start Dialogue	It starts a dialog with an object (which doesn't have to be a character). This node requires the object to have a dialog, which you can create in the object parameters, via the dialog bubble.  Idea: When the player destroys a specific asset, an NPC close by starts a dialog
Text Bubble	It displays a text bubble above an object for a given time. You'll need to create a new string and define the text in the Variables blackboard. The time given to display the bubble is in seconds. It’s sometimes better to use a text bubble instead of a dialog, especially for short messages.   Idea: Use it in combination with the proximity condition, so that walking near a merchant displays short text such as “Come and see my bargains!”.
Text on Object	It changes the text of Custom Text asset. It requires having a Custom Text asset in your scene.  Idea:  Change the text on a building from “Closed” to “Open”.
Text on Screen	It displays a text on the screen for a given time. Idea: This node is useful to give instructions to the player such as “Find 5 treasures chests to win the game”.
Toggle Collision	It toggles the Hitbox of an object on or off. Idea: Deactivate a wall collider to create a secret passage.
Toggle Physics	It toggles the Physics of an object on or off. Idea: Disable an object's physics so that it can no longer be moved.
Toggle Visibility	It toggles the Visibility of an object on or off. Idea: Deactivate an NPC's visibility after an event to turn it into a ghost.
Walk to Object	It makes an NPC find and walk a path to an object. For the NPC to reach the object, make sure there is no obstacle on its way. Idea: Make your NPC smarter by moving in a specific direction, not wandering randomly around the map.
Walk to Vector	It makes a character find and walk a path to a vector position. For the NPC to reach the position, make sure there is no obstacle on its way. Idea: Make your NPC smarter by moving in a specific direction, not wandering randomly around the map.
