This Skill helps you create a native Godot 4.6 enemy AI that can patrol waypoints, detect the player, navigate around obstacles, and switch between behaviour states without relying on third-party AI addons.
Use this skill to implement a Godot enemy that patrols Marker3D waypoints, chases the player when seen, and attacks on cooldown using the provided native navigation and state machine pattern.

You can build native Godot enemy AI by composing a node-based finite state machine onto a CharacterBody3D, using reusable state nodes for patrol, chase, and attack behaviors that navigate waypoints and react to the player without third-party addons.
NavigationAgent3D handles enemy chasing by calculating paths around obstacles on a baked NavigationRegion3D, providing real 3D pathfinding and avoidance for enemies pursuing the player across the navmesh.
Line-of-sight aggro in Godot is set up using detection range checks combined with ray-based line-of-sight validation, ensuring enemies only trigger chase behavior when the player is within range and visually unobstructed.
Yes, a baked NavigationRegion3D is required. The enemy AI relies on native Godot navigation, so the navmesh must be generated and baked in your 3D scene before NavigationAgent3D can compute patrol routes or chase paths.
The best way to structure enemy behavior in Godot is a node-based finite state machine. Separating patrol, chase, and attack logic into individual state nodes composed onto a CharacterBody3D keeps behaviors modular, reusable, and strictly typed in GDScript.
Enemies get stuck during pursuit when the NavigationRegion3D is not properly baked or NavigationAgent3D avoidance settings are misconfigured. Ensuring the navmesh covers patrol waypoints helps recover from common navigation pitfalls.
