Rebuilding Unreal’s EQS in Unity 6 (Full AI System From Scratch) - Unreal has a powerful AI feature called the Environment Query System (EQS) that lets agents intelligently evaluate the world and choose optimal positions for attack, cover, or patrol — but Unity doesn’t have anything like it built in. In this video, we recreate EQS from scratch inside Unity 6, building a fully asset-driven system with generators, tests, scoring, and runtime execution, so our AI can dynamically reason about space instead of relying on hardcoded behavior.

Unity-Environment-Query-System - This Environment Query System (EQS) provides a data-driven way for AI to find optimal positions in the game world. Inspired by Unreal Engine's EQS, it uses generators to produce candidate points, tests to score or filter them, and context (querier and target) so the same query can power cover-seeking, attack positioning, patrol points, and more—without hard-coding behavior.
