this is the most intense unity tutorial I have ever watched

DUDE YOUR TUTORIALS ARE SO EASY TO LEARN! THANKS A LOT. MOST TUTORIALS ON KZfaq ARE QUITE COMPLICATED FOR ME. BUT YOUR'S IS JUST SO WELL MADE THAT EVEN SHIT LIKE ME CAN UNDERSTAND IT! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!

Spent around 2 minutes trying to figure out what the heck a "project tile" was. Haha, great tutorial man, making my first fully finished game, a mini space shooter, and this helped out alot. You and Brackys are awesome.

THANK YOU. I’m currently participating in my first game jam, and I needed this ._. Pog

for anyone doing this in 3d, here is the modified script: using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; public class EnemyBehavior : MonoBehaviour { public float speed; public float stoppingDistance; public float retreatDistance; public GameObject bullet; public Transform player; private float timeBtwShots; public float startTimeBtwShots; // Start is called before the first frame update void Start() { player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform; timeBtwShots = startTimeBtwShots; } // Update is called once per frame void Update() { if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, player.position) > stoppingDistance) { transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, player.position, speed * Time.deltaTime); } else if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, player.position) < stoppingDistance && Vector3.Distance(transform.position, player.position) > retreatDistance) { transform.position = this.transform.position; } else if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, player.position) < retreatDistance) { transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, player.position, -speed * Time.deltaTime); } if (timeBtwShots

The clarity, simplicity and straight forward approach in the tutorial shows that you are someone who has made many games! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I was simling the whole time I was watching this. It was so intense. It felt like I was watching a conspiricy theory. Amazing tutorial BTW.

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; public class Enemyshooting : MonoBehaviour { public float speed; public float stoppingDistance; public float retreaDistance; private float timeBtwShots; public float startTimeBtwShots; public Transform player; public GameObject projectile; // Start is called before the first frame update void Start() { player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform; timeBtwShots = startTimeBtwShots; } // Update is called once per frame void Update() { if(Vector2.Distance(transform.position, player.position) > stoppingDistance) { transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, player.position, speed * Time.deltaTime); } else if(Vector2.Distance(transform.position, player.position) > stoppingDistance && Vector2.Distance(transform.position, player.position) > retreaDistance) { transform.position = this.transform.position; } else if (Vector2.Distance(transform.position, player.position) > retreaDistance) { transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, player.position, -speed * Time.deltaTime); } if(timeBtwShots

Could you make a video on A* Pathfinding or any other method on 2D Pathfinding? There are very few Up to Date Videos on KZfaq. Thanks hope you like the suggestion.

This tutortial is really good! I actually made a better version (in my opinion) of the movement. public GameObject target; float distance; public float speed; void Update() { distance = Vector3.Distance(gameObject.transform.position, target.transform.position) - 6.5f; (higher = enemy stays farther away, can be anything) speed = distance; transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, target.transform.position, speed * Time.deltaTime); } This makes it so that the enemy speeds up depending on how far away the player is form the enemy.

At first I thought is tutorial was going to be hard to understand because I've never done c# or any other form of coding except scratch. Except for the past 3 days. But scratch actually helps me understand the else if statements and stuff but it's actually really simple to understand! Great job. I'm going to try this later.

Nice but wished it showed an option of the projectile still following after it reaches the targeted position

when I have not found an answer for a while, this person arrives and solves it in 12.54 seconds

If you see that your enemy is shaking or vibrating constantly, you probably just need to set the stopping and retreat distance to not be equal (if they are already). Mine were both at 5 so I just changed the stopping distance to 5.2.

Quick tip if you want to Destroy a game object after a few seconds then just specify the time by doing Destroy(gameObject, write the time here)

damn after combing your previous video about top down shooting and combining it with the screen shake video and this my game has reached new heights. Thank you too much for these amazing tutorials.

love your videos, you should do a 2d grappling hook tutorial

I highly enjoy these videos, you and a few others are the reason why I've wanted to make video games

>finds no useful video, gives up on A-level coursework. >comes back a month later and finds this. >MightGetAnALevel.jpg

Wow...KZfaq suggested your channel. Very cool videos so far. Keep it up mate!

I LOVE YOUR ART STYLE!!!

this video is old but thank you, you helped me whit a problem i had for 3-4 consecutive days.

Here is the full code ENEMY using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Security.Cryptography; using UnityEngine; public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour { public float speed; public float stoppingDistance; public float retreatDistance; private float timeBtwShots; public float startTimeBtwShots; public GameObject projectile; public Transform player; void Start() { player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform; timeBtwShots = startTimeBtwShots; } void Update() { if (Vector2.Distance(transform.position, player.position) > stoppingDistance) { transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, player.position, speed * Time.deltaTime); } else if (Vector2.Distance(transform.position, player.position) < stoppingDistance && Vector2.Distance(transform.position, player.position) > retreatDistance) { transform.position = this.transform.position; } else if (Vector2.Distance(transform.position, player.position) < retreatDistance) { transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, player.position, -speed * Time.deltaTime); } if(timeBtwShots

Dude, You have inspired me to continue with my indie games. Thank you so much

Cool! Really nice beginner shooting game in just 12 min! Well done! 👍🤓

Thank you We miss your awsome tutorials

Man I love your enthusiasm

You are awesome bro ,the way you present your video tutorials is awesome and you even reply to almost every comment to help them it's something i really appreciate. I wish you become more successful than you can even imagine😊😊

Your vids are forever awesomely. Please never stop😊

Oh man, this is gold. Thank you for sharing!

The not moving bullet can also be usefull feature, Its like an enemy placing mines that if you step on explodes. but for the explosion it costs a diffrent coding

you are awesome dude, thanks for keeping things simple and easy to understand.

That intro gave me chills

i use this to make turret.Thanks Noa!

Sir your way of explaining is just Really really awesome 👍 love from INDIA

Great videos man, you deserved my like.

Awesome Tutorial. Thanks for this. :)

really easy to keep up with and actually good codes keep em coming mate!

I like the figures that you've drawn

Awesome tutorial, dude! Thanks!

behold! I show you all! The HAPPIEST coder that has ever walked (or sat on his chair coding) over the face of this planet!

Hey man, this is a really cool tutorial, but you don't mention how to get the bullet to keep going past the player's position? Could you tell me how this might be done?

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

Yay! Thx for this. I implemented this in 3d and it worked just great. This video encouraged me to be creative with my code. Thx a lot.

Love your tutorials! I can easily adapt the code into my game!

Thank you so much for these.

great video 👏 can you do special 👌 tuto about particular effect 😊 (add (specification place) change ...)

Very good tutorial. And i've seen a lot of them. Thank you!

copy and paste code is in reply's. Watch the video though it gives good explanations.

you should continue doing tutorials! loved it

use this to flip the sprite of the enemy void Start() { rb = GetComponent(); } void FixedUpdate() { moveInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"); rb.velocity = new Vector2(moveInput * speed, rb.velocity.y); if (facingRight == false && moveInput > 0) { Flip(); } else if (facingRight == true && moveInput < 0) { Flip(); } } void Flip() { facingRight = !facingRight; Vector3 Scaler = transform.localScale; Scaler.x *= -1; transform.localScale = Scaler; } make sure to erase the Void Start or pste the code

This is so helpful for game jams!

In the beginning, it sounds like you are talking to Conan who are about to go for a epic quest or something, easy now xD

You are awesome.your tutorial are really very easy and helpful.thankyou so much keep making your tutorial. I want a tutorial how to spawn enemies.please

this brackeys 2D version 😂

Awesome Tutorial

Loved the video you explain well!

When he is retreating and I lead him to a wall and they both have colliders but the enemy clips through the wall, other than that great tutorial!

I know its an old video but if you want to do it in 3d just change Vector2 to vector3

Thanks a bunch :) I applied this to my current 2D platformer project and it works but I made an additional script using a 2D collider trigger that activates your follow script on trigger enter

You never dissapoint me :D

@Blackthornprod Awesome Videos. For faster prototyping you can right click inside Assets and Select Create > Sprites to make basic shapes.

Very Very Very good... Thank you.. great video

Thanks man your frickin awesome and dont deny it

Well done! Keep it up!

Great video!

nice tutorial, ill make this a base for my work. thank you!

finally a tutorial i understood, subscribed, i am hoping to make a farming survival monster breeding game, if you can make any tutorial about those that would be great

Nice Tutorial dude

Soo good video dude!

I have seen that lots of people wanted to have the bullet move beyond the players position. This command is used only on the EnemyBullet. public float moveSpeed = 7f; public Rigidbody2D rb; private Vector2 moveDirection; private Transform target; // Start is called before the first frame update void Start() { target = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform; moveDirection = (target.transform.position - transform.position).normalized * moveSpeed; rb.velocity = new Vector2(moveDirection.x, moveDirection.y + 0.5f); } This way every new bullet found will go towards the last player's position. You need to AddForce towards that position.

Thanks for tutorial!

Found a mistake!, Woaw! what is that man you've created a PUBLIC transform for the player gameobject and started finding it through the tag in the start method ( just blew my mind for a moment).which can be seen in the video before 5:24 and then smartly you've converted the public access specifier into a private variable in the later part of the video. and the second thing you don't need to use trasform.position = this.trasform.position; just use simply return if you want or else it's not required either. by the way your doing good job keep it up :D

My enemy starts shaking really fast when he stops from following.

How do you shoot the bullet in the direction instead of just the position? Meaning the bullet continues ahead after passing through the target position?

When I have multiple enemies, they pile on top of each other. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks! is very very cool, i search this code for all's pages!

Morgz has really changed hasn't he. He now makes 2D games in Unity. (This is a joke)

thank you I had some problems but I fixed it!

ultra great n00b tuts. u rule.

Could you please make a complete series on top down 3d shooter. Please

you are great small videos and neat explanation thanks

Gooood man!

this is really easy thank you!

How can i make projectiles go further than current player position. In platformer it looks just like proejctiles are stuck en players previous location. How can i make them go further (in the same direction that they were flying)?

This is soo great!

Man thisi is useful but how can we set a range of Bullete if only Player goes enemies range than enemy start firing bullet..

Praise KZfaq speed settings.

Wow That was really cool

I got to say, these are some of the best and easiest to follow tutorials on youtube! One simple thing I don't understand though. Why are you using public, instead of [SerializeField] in order to make a value changeable via the editor? Since public has the downside of exposing your data out side the class? Is there a performance gain or some other benefit to it? Also, you are leaving raw code in update. Coming from an oop background, I was always told to group up my code in functions if possible. Does that apply to unity or would it slow down the game, if I would call the function in update, rather than the raw code? Thanks! And keep up the great work! :D

Instead of writing player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag(“Player”) can’t I just assign it in the inspector?

Do a platform enemy ai

bro your tutorials are awesome i am also 17 and i want to get into game dovelopment for that your tutorials are very helpful for me

I'm getting an error inline player = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("player").transform; any help is appreciated.

Man Why isnt this code working the error is that whenever I write .Transform it gives error Gameobject cannot find Transform as the defination

i was just wondering how you would be able to destroy the enemy upon hitting it with your own bullet?

I can confirm that it works for 3D! Here's my version (I mostly just changed Vector2's to Vector3's) using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; public class ProjectileAim : MonoBehaviour { public float speed; private Transform player; private Vector3 target; public Rigidbody rb; // Start is called before the first frame update void Start() { player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform; target = new Vector3(player.position.x, player.position.y, player.position.z ); } // Update is called once per frame void Update() { transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target, speed * Time.deltaTime); if (transform.position.x == target.x && transform.position.y == target.y && transform.position.z == target.z) { Destroy(gameObject); } } void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision) { if (collision.collider.tag != "Obstacle" || collision.collider.tag == "null") { Destroy(gameObject); } } IEnumerator DestroySoon() { yield return new WaitForSeconds(2); Destroy(gameObject); } }

Side products in the process: I made 'deadly octopus' - without timeBtwShoots = startTimeBtwShoots shoot looks like big following hand with reach; and also mine setting monster - when projectile is still.
