Just like with Behavior Trees, you can easily create Tasks, Decorators, and Services from either C++ or Blueprints, and arrange them in a visual graph editor. The HTN planner uses Blackboard data to store knowledge about possible future worldstates. Nodes check and modify values in the worldstate during planning, which makes it possible to make decisions based on possible future states. The planner efficiently finds the plan with the lowest cost, or the one with the highest priority.
Compared to other planning techniques like Goal-Oriented Action Planning, HTN planning is more efficient and gives designers much more control over the AI. It can be as rigid as Behavior Trees, or as flexible as GOAP. You can create AI with just as much autonomy and flexibility as you need: an AI that selects between predefined sequences of tasks, or an AI that is free to arrange its tasks in any order to achieve a goal, or anything in between.
