Create more Realistic AI WITH A* Pathfinding Project Pro
Don’t over complicate things, grab this useful Unity Asset for your AI characters
If you are new to creating complete game projects then it might be best to get hold something to handle path finding. Path finding is basically what a “player” does to navigate around your level. When it comes to human players majority of the decisions are down to the user (Although you can do this to help with collision and grids). But when it comes to AI i.e. bots or NPC’s you will want something that will do all the hard work for you.
This is where the A* Pathfinding Project Pro really does shine. This AI unity asset is designed to create pathfinding maps so your AIs will be able to navigate complex maps and find the player in a short amount of time. No one likes a bot that gets stuck, this asset is designed to prevent that. Please note pathfinding is not needed for all game modes but when it comes to First person shooters and Real time strategies it really is a must, in order to have stable game play. You can find other AI assets here.
Use Cases for A* Pathfinding Project Asset
As mention above you don’t necessary need pathfinding for all characters in a game. For example players control themselves and some static NPC’s will not require a path. But here is a small example of what this great game asset can be used for:
- FPS – create paths on your map levels for bots to navigate till they find the enemy
- RTS – although more complicated than a RTS pathfinding is a must for this style of game.
- You can create patrol paths for enemies and for them to search key areas on a level
- NPC’s walking paths, i.e quest givers and such. Great to use with RPG Models.
- anything that requires a path, this asset will help you create exactly what you need.
