Unity Basics - Waypoint Path System Part 2

[@MetalStormGames]

I added some viewer requests in this update to the waypoint system. If there are other features and suggestions you would like to see in the next videos of this series please leave some comments below and I will try to add some.

I wanna to make boss, but I don't know how to make a good AI in 3D maybe he shoots lasers (Stage 1) spawned AOE skills (Stage 2) and opened points where it can be damaged (Stage 3)

[@beshkekart3909]

your guides help me a lot, I found you recently

[@MetalStormGames]

@@beshkekart3909 That is a great idea. I made a note of trying to make a basic boss system when I can in the future. Lots of possibilities there I could work on.

I would love to see more videos from this series!

[@MetalStormGames]

Thanks I hope to get back to making some new ones soon

[@maegans6373]

Same! I got to the end and it sounded like there would be more. Alas, there wasn't any in the playlist :(

[@Ingo.Mclean]

Excellent pacing, great definitions, clear tasks from the start. Great content (I watched the first part as well). Keep up the good work, got my sub.

[@MetalStormGames]

Thanks, will definitely try to get more content out soon.

[@simonsobo4644]

Just another in a long line of marvelous/wonderful/incredibly useful videos!

[@MetalStormGames]

Thanks a lot, appreciate it

[@StressedProgrammer]

Smooth tutorial. I really enjoyed it. Can you add a obstacle detection/avoid system that would be really helpful.

[@MetalStormGames]

I will add that to the list of ideas, thanks a lot and thanks for watching

[@maegans6373]

BOOOOOOOST! Thank you!

[@MetalStormGames]

Hi,can I please help me with codes to make my agent choose other shooter waypoint when it's blocked by an obstacle

[@kopanomofolo8770]

Can you make it stop at a waypoint? Then continue after a certain time frame has passed

[@MetalStormGames]

Absolutely, I will add that to my list to try adding in future videos for it but it will be a while before I can make some more. Depending on your programming knowledge to help you get going you could use a Coroutine that gets called when the agent reaches each waypoint but a very basic and simple solution could be to make a flag bool variable something like isWaiting and use that to track time when the agent reaches a waypoint. You could do an If statement before getting a new waypoint, something like check if isWaiting is true then dont get a new waypoint, also make another If statement that says If isWaiting is true then increase a timer. Then do a check on the timer if it reaches a value you specify set isWaiting to false. I know that is a big jumble of an explanation sorry about that. If that does not make sense I could try giving you a better explanation later.

My agents have Rigidbodies and box colliders on, everytime they reach a waypoint the get extremely jittery like they're colliding with the wireframe. Any easy way to fix this?

[@MetalStormGames]

There wont be a collision with the gizmo itself but maybe its something with the check if it has reached the waypoint yet. One way to verify and rule out if its a collision or something with the movement try just disabling the collider but leave the rigidbody and see if it does the same thing or not. That will help narrow down the cause a bit.

Tks

[@yours_indie_game_dev]

request in your next tutorial can you make the path smother e.g like with a curve instead of sharp turns

[@MetalStormGames]

I will add that to the list to add in features, that does get a bit trickier to make it smooth but I want to build it up to stuff like that. Thanks for checking it out.

[@STORM-qw2gq]

Does this work for multiple enemies 🤔

[@MetalStormGames]

I plan to make a few more videos on this with multiple enemies moving along a path, you can do it like this but you would need to add some kind of offset atleast so they do not walk on top of each other when moving and each enemy would need their own script to control the movement.

[@STORM-qw2gq]

@@MetalStormGames Can you create multiple paths with this so many gameobjects can have their own path right

[@MetalStormGames]

@@STORM-qw2gq Yup you could use the same waypoint objects for each enemy who then stores his own path using those positions, that way you could have some enemies moving forward, some moving backwards, etc.

You may need to check back on your code to make sure it matches, if you continue to struggle feel free to hop on my discord and post the full error message and details and I can try to help if you have not figured it out.
