An event-driven behavior trees extension to facilitate non-player multi-agent coordination in video games
作者：
Highlights：
• Event-driven behavior trees extension for multi-agent coordination in video games.
• Three new types of nodes for coordination are proposed.
• New nodes allow agents to communicate through a request protocol.
• A complete implementation and an application example are provided.
• Unlike ad hoc solutions, our approach favors behavior trees’ development paradigm.
