There are two ways to add the BehaviourTree component.

Create GameObject with BehaviourTree component

• Click the Create button in the Hierarchy window or right click in the window
• Select “Arbor / BehaviourTree”

Add BehaviourTree component to already existing GameObject

• In the Hierarchy window, select GameObject to which BehaviourTree is added
• Click the “Add Component” button in the Inspector window
• Select “Arbor / BehaviourTree”

Open BehaviourTree graph in Arbor Editor window

To edit BehaviourTree You need to open a BehaviourTree graph in the Arbor Editor window.

• In the Hierarchy window, select GameObject with BehaviourTree component.
• Click “Open Editor” button of BehaviourTree component editor in Inspector window.

Also, if the Arbor Editor window is already open, it will switch if you select GameObjet with BehaviourTree component in the Hierarchy window.

Create Composite Node

• Right-click the position of the graph where you want to create a node
• Select “Create Composite” in the menu
• Select the composite you want to create in the Composite Selection window.

GIF

Create Action Node

• Right-click the position of the graph where you want to create a node
• Select “Create Action” in the menu
• Select the action you want to create in the Action Selection window.

Connecting nodes

Route nodes, composite nodes, action nodes can connect parent-child relationships.

Connect to existing node

• Drag the connection slot at the top or bottom of the node
• Drop to the destination slot

GIF

Create a new node and connect

• Drag the connection slot at the top or bottom of the node
• Drop at the position in the graph where you want to create the node
• Select “Create Composite” or “Create Action” from menu
• Select the script you want to create with various script selection menus

GIF

Disconnect node

• Right-click on the connection line or connection slot you want to disconnect
• Select “Disconnect” from the menu

GIF

Changing the priority of nodes

The priority order is determined by the positional relationship of the nodes between the siblings having the same parent.

• If you want to lower the priority, drag the node and move it to the right.
• If you want to increase the priority, drag the node and move it to the left.

GIF

Delete node

• Select the node you want to delete
• Select “Delete” from the right-click menu in the graph, or press the Delete key

GIF

Replace Composite

You can replace only composites later, leaving the node’s location and connection state intact.

• Click the gear icon in the node header section or right click on the header section
• Select “Replace Composite”
• Select a composite from the composite selection menu.

GIF

Replace Action

You can replace only actions later, leaving the node’s location and connection state intact.

• Click the gear icon in the node header section or right click on the header section
• Select “Replace Action”
• Select a action from the action selection menu.

GIF

Add Decorator

Decorators can be added to composite nodes or action nodes.

• Click the gear icon in the node header section or right click on the header section
• Select “Add Decorator”
• Select the decorator you want to add from the decorator selection menu.

GIF

For creating decorator script here

Customize Decorator

Insert Decorator

You can insert a decorator at an arbitrary position.

• Mouseover near the center between the node header and main behavior.
  Or mouse-over over the center of the separator between the decorators at the position you want to insert.
• Click “Insert Decorator” button
• Select “Add Decorator”
• Select the decorator you want to add from the decorator selection menu.

Since there is no built-in script in the service, it is necessary to prepare the service script beforehand.
