Continuing to work with AI Instantiation and Object Pooling — Continuing from the previous article we will now implement the ability to instantiate the AI agent from one waypoint which the AI agent will then automatically try to reach the last waypoint. Also while instantiating the AI agents we will also insert them into an object pool to keep track…

Challenge: Creating a Nav Mesh Agent for a Duck Hunt Game — In this challenge we will focus on our GLI Framework! To being we will start downloading our preset file that contains all of our assets and character controllers. The file I have gotten is from the GamedevHQ community and from the Filebase library and I highly recommend joining if you…

Using Singleton and understanding how to apply them to a game — Ever written a script where you constantly have to get the script component ever time? Better yet you keep repeating the same writing especially when you have multiple of the same script? Well Unity and C# has a solution for you and it comes in a method called “Singletons”.

Learning how to make an AI sphere jump to different platforms — Now that we have an proper understanding on the FSM’s basic controls we can further push the boundaries by adding the ability to make the Ai Sphere jump from one platform to another linked platform. We can achieve this by using Unity’s Off mesh Link setting and string two platforms…

Finishing Up our Finite State Machine — Continuing from the previous article, we will finish up our FSM by adding an Attack State so that our Ai Sphere will stop at every waypoint and pause for a few seconds before moving onward to the next waypoint. In order to do this we will need to swap from…

Working with Unity “Finite State Machine” aka FSM — Unity Finite State Machine is the basic idea is that a character is engaged in some particular kind of action at any given time. The actions available will depend on the type of gameplay but typical actions include things like idling, walking, running, jumping, etc. These actions are referred to…

Understanding how to move a Ai Agent within a Nav Mesh surface — Continuing from the previous article, we will now expand our experience with working with Nav Meshes. In this article we will make the Nav Mesh Agent move towards a randomly assigned waypoint. Scripting: First we are going to create an new C# script called “Ai” and attach it to the red…

Understanding What Nav Mesh is and how apply it to your game — A Nav Mesh is a designated mesh in your Unity scene, which specifies navigable areas in your environment, including areas where characters can walk, as well as obstacles. This is useful for scenarios which incorporate pathfinding and AI-controlled navigation. Setting up a Scene: To demonstrate the Nav Mesh system we are going to built…

Learning how to move a character via Point and Click — In this Unity Raycast challenge, we will be working player movement using a point to move function via raycasting. Each Raycast position will translate to a new player position and the player must move towards that locations. Scene Prepping: First we are going to create a floor like structure using a 3D…
