Unity3D AI with State Machine, Drones, and Lasers!

By Jason Weimann / April 28, 2019

Create a Unity3D AI system using the State Pattern and State Machines. We’ll build an FSM (finite state machine) in c#, make it generic, reusable, and able to drive our AI bots.

State machines and AI are extremely important in game dev, so we’ll start with a simple switch based AI system then build it into a solid c# FSM that we can extend and build upon.

And if you’d like to follow along, all the c# source code for this unity tutorial is available below.

If you’re looking for a game development job, Dave has great advice on how to apply, how to prepare, what to expect in your interviews.

We also talk in depth about contracting, and the process of getting your first contract, when to start a company of your own, and how to do that.
