At the end of this series the player will shoot enemies with his bow, and even throw bombs to deal area of effect damage. The enemies will have path finding algorithms, and we’ll add visual effects to make a cool game you can show your friends.

** What will I learn? **
In this tutorial we continue our top down journey towards Gauntlet as we implement auto tiling for our wall, floor and shadows. We then set up an automatic method of placing the collision tiles and enemies, before introducing some homework requiring you to implement some additions yourself.

Unity Raycast + Jumpscare in Visual Scripting [ Bolt ]

Unity Raycast + Jumpscare in Visual Scripting [ Bolt ]

Posted on by Patrick Fluke


Unity Raycast is a powerful tool used for detecting collisions in 3D space. It is used to calculate the direction and distance from a source point to a target point. It can be used to detect objects in the scene, such as walls and floors, and to detect the presence of a character or other object within its field of view. Unity Raycast also provides support for raycasting in the direction of a target object or point, enabling developers to create dynamic and interactive experiences.

Unity Raycast can be used to create jumpscares in a game, by creating a script that triggers when a raycast hits a specific target. The script can then trigger a sound effect or animation, giving the player a sudden fright. This can be used in horror games to surprise and frighten the player. Unity Raycast can also be used with Jumpscare + Bolt, a visual scripting tool that allows developers to easily create and modify jumpscares with no coding experience. This tool makes it easy to quickly create jumpscares in a game, allowing developers to create dynamic and interactive horror experiences.
