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…

Objective: How to get an AI agent to move along a NavMesh in Unity. Moving on from the previous article where we looked at how to bake a NavMesh surface, let’s now take a look at how to get them moving along it. Adding to the Scene Setup From the previous scene setup, I just…

Objective: To learn how to setup a NavMesh surface for the AI agents to move around in Unity. This is a new article series that is going to look at some AI fundamentals in Unity such as — Baking a NavMesh surface, moving an AI agent on a NavMesh, creating…

Objective: To move a game object to a location using Raycasting in Unity. For the final article for the raycasting series, I am going to create a click to move system using Raycasting! Getting the Scene Setup I have used a 3D cube to create a simple floor and added in another cube for…

Objective: Let’s create some bullet holes at a target reticules location using raycasting in Unity. Moving on from the previous article which looked at layer masks with raycasting, let’s have a bit of fun and add some bullet holes to a wall where our target reticule raycast clicks. Getting the Scene Setup I have…

Objective: Using a LayerMask with our Raycast to determine which game objects can change color when clicking on them. When using Raycasts, LayerMasks come in handy as we can provide additional checks to determine which game objects we are able to click on, depending on which layer they are on. …

Objective: To Instantiate a sphere game object where we click the mouse using raycasting in Unity. Moving on from the last article where we got our raycast setup, let’s now instantiate a game object where we click on the screen. Getting Setup Keeping with the super simple project setup theme, I am…

Objective: Cast a ray to a mouse position in Unity, hitting an object and changing it to a random color. New year, and a new project! This short series is going to look at raycasting, instantiating objects when a raycast collides with an object, layer masks, creating bullet holes and…
