AI Enemies

Spawn an enemy on the map, and have the enemy move towards the players, and damage the player on collision.

This project includes a slime prefab that we can use. In the project window search for slime and double click the "Enemy_Slime" prefab.

There are several components added for you already, lets break them down.

Airship's multiplayer is powered by FishNet, a multiplayer package for Unity. You'll see some if its components here for managing the networking of an object.

• NetworkObject is any object that is synced across the network.

• NetworkTransform means this object will move

• NetworkTickSmoother is an Airship component that adds some nice smoothing to our NetworkTransforms. *Notice that this points to a GraphicsHolder which is a child of the root and holds all of the visual graphics for the object. This is an important structure to maintain if you want smoothed transforms.

We also have a Rigidbody and Box Collider on this object which is just standard Unity setup for a moving physics object. We locked the rotation since we will control that in our code and froze the Y since this game is flat.

The first step is to get an enemy spawning into the world. Lets make a new AirshipBehaviour class that will spawn in our enemies.

• In VSCode create a new class and call it "TopDownBattleEnemySpawner.ts". This will be similar to our player spawner but will instantiate the enemy prefab over time and randomly around the map
