Objective: Part 02 of setting up floating combat text in Unity which looks at bringing randomness to the instantiation position and changing the color of the text. Giving the Instantiation Position More Randomness Back in our ‘FloatingCombatTextPopUp’ script, we have been instantiating it at the exact same location directly by passing into the parameter — Vector3.zero…

Objective: To show how I setup floating combat text in my project utilising Unity. One thing I have always wanted to learn is how to create visually appealing floating combat text, and this is exactly what this series of articles is going to help you setup! Step 1 — Import TextMeshPro We can install this…

Objective: To get my imported Filebase asset to play Mixamo animations. Currently I have a 3D FBX model of an enemy that I want to use in my project and have imported it from Filebase. …

Objective: To learn how to auto rig a 3D FBX model in Mixamo. Moving on from my previous article which focused on how to de-rig an exsiting assets armatures, we are now prepared to upload this asset to Mixamo’s Auto Rigging Feature. Upload Character Once you are logged into Mixamo…

Objective: To learn how to de-rig an existing 3D models armatures in Blender. Now I never really use Blender, I am not an artistic person when it comes to the creation and manipulation of assets. But I do love to problem solve when making my games and this particular one…

Objective: To help you resolve this frustrating error when using a custom Agent type in Unity. I must admit that this problem had me stumped for a while and it wasn’t until I created a blank project and started comparing the differences between the NavMeshAgent components in an effort…

Objective: To allow our AI Agent to bridge gaps in floors using OffMesh Links in Unity. Here we can see above that we have a platform next to the last waypoint, but the AI Agent is unable to reach it because there is no NavMesh surface to walk on. How…

Objective: Creating a Finite State Machine (FSM) to control the AI Agents behaviour. First of all we have to ask ourselves what is an FSM? A Finite State Machine is where a game designer creates all the possible situations an AI Agent could possibly encounter and then program a specific…

Objective: To get an AI agent setup to loop through a series of waypoints and return via the same route (in reverse). So far we have created the NavMesh surface, added the AI Agent to our project and got them automatically moving between random waypoints. Now, I would like to…
