About Unity Behavior

Unity Behavior is a visual tool for authoring behaviors used to control non-player characters (NPCs) or objects.

Use Unity Behavior to control the interactions of multiple characters, orchestrate cinematic scenes, trigger timed or contextual events, and react to player actions. It takes the complexity out of behavior authoring, thereby bringing vision to life with ease.

Note

Unity refers to behavior trees as behavior graphs to highlight its advanced capabilities and added features. Unlike traditional behavior trees, behavior graphs in Unity Muse allow for non-linear structures where branches can merge back, enabling more complex and interconnected behaviors.

Note

It's free to use Unity Behavior, but you need a Unity Muse subscription to access the generative artificial intelligence (AI) features of the tool.
