I want to know how to do zombie ai for my game. What is the best way to go about it?
What are all the steps you have to take? All i need is for the zombie to come a to life each round and try and kill me. I also need it to be able to die when shot at.

var target : Transform;
var enemy : Transform;
var moveSpeed : float = 5.0;
You can select the items as the target and the enemy (which chances are is the gameobject the script is attached to) in the unity Inspector view under the script options. The complete script should look something like this:

Hi, i lost all my kills an special points on arcade map - Zombie World: unity test
I had all heroes an at special points i had full from damage to energy regen
my name in game is nephyu
my ID is Nephyu0
Please help me

I wanted to make a game like grim jogger or zombie tsunami as I did not know where to startI do not know how to create a bunch of people and the press jumped on every one of them will jump up and fall downanyone have any idea or could help me with demossorry for my english

I initially created this tutorial back in October 2022, shortly after the first experimental release of Unity ECS 1.0. Since then, there have been a few minor changes on the specifics about how things are implemented in the API. However, the main concepts of Data-Oriented Design remain the same.

In the following post, I will be providing what needs to be changed in the original project, so that it is fully compatible with the latest version of the Unity Entities package which is 1.0.14 at the time of writing.

In the Entities updates since this video was posted some of the Transfrom API has been removed and changed. These changes end up simplifying things a bit more, though there are many changes we need to make as the video heavily used the previous API.

Many of the custom aspects we created in the tutorial video have a reference to the TransformAspect and UniformScaleTransform, which have now been removed. Unity has done some cleanup on the Transform API to make it very easy to just modify the Transform components directly, eliminating the need for a TransformAspect and UniformScaleTransform.

Now that our aspects have changed, we need to update our systems to work with the new data types. These are the files that need to be modified, again clicking the hyperlink brings you to the full file with modified code:

Now this can be changed to the following code. Note that we get LocalTransform rather than LocalToWorldTransform and we no longer need that additional .Value as Scale is a member of the LocalTransform component.

Easy peasy! We can do this because when we get the newTombstoneTransform from the previous line of code, we already updated the GraveyardAspect to return a LocalTransform type in the previous step.

This is a small change introduced in the 1.0.8 version of entities. There are two systems where we utilized SystemAPI.GetAspectRW that need to be updated to SystemAPI.GetAspect.

[ChunkIndexInQuery] provides us a sort key that is unique per chunk, which means that it will be unique on a per thread basis, which is all that really matters for parallel Entity Command Buffers.

I should have caught this one during the initial tutorial, but it is best practice to include a RequireForUpdate whenever you are getting a singleton component or entity. I did this a few times, but not EVERY time.

In the editor this ends up not being an issue if you have your subscene open, but if you close your subscene or try to run a build, you will get an error on the first frame as it cannot find the singleton. This is an issue because is causes the build to either freeze or crash.

Where things get a little different is for the Graveyard and Tombstone Bakers. This is because not only do we need to define the TransformUsageFlags on itself, but we also need to do the same for the entity prefabs we are referencing.

Blob (Binary Large OBject) Assets are basically just stores of immutable data. These data stores can be referenced through data components and are guaranteed to be thread safe as the data is read only. In this example we are going to create a BlobArray to store the list of points a zombie can spawn from, then when we want to spawn a zombie, we can get a random point in that array.

Notice how the ZombieSpawnPoints data component now has an underlying data type of BlobAssetReference (as you could imagine this is a reference to the actual blob asset). In this instance, the blob asset is of type ZombieSpawnPointsBlob.

Woo! Now it is time to finally create a build of your application. Creating a build is really the best way to gather performance metrics on your game as there is no overhead from the Unity Editor. Performance in build is often significantly better than in the editor.

Then do create a build, just open the standard build window (Ctrl + Shift + B) and add the main scene to the build config list (no need to include the SubScene in the list). Then just run a build of the game as you normally would!

This document serves as a walkthrough of Boss Room's approach to solving the following issue: Late-joining clients entering networked sessions encountering zombie NetworkObjects. Zombie NetworkObjects represent NetworkObjects that are instantiated for a client due to scene loads but aren't despawned or destroyed by Netcode.

This is a particular Netcode limitation of NetworkObject spawning: NetworkObjects that belong to a scene object should not be destroyed until its scene has been unloaded through Netcode's scene management.

Animated projects often involve lots of content that not just have to look good, but also have to render well. For this reason, it is imperative to know where to acquire the proper 3D content. Luckily iClone is compatible with assets from many 3D marketplaces.

According to Jason, there are many advantages to using the Unity Asset Store with iClone Marketplace content, as Unity has a giant warehouse of high-quality assets that can inspire and compliment iClone animated projects with props, vehicles, buildings, and accessories.

Just like iClone assets, Unity assets are developed by professionals who have years of experience in designing realtime-ready content that is optimized for realtime animation engines, and is far better in quality than those found in the free 3D Warehouse.

Additionally, the Unity Asset Store has lots of free and inexpensive assets that almost all perfectly convert to iClone, via 3DXchange (99% compatibility with iClone). Opening the gates of hell for legions of hungry, 3D zombie hordes. ?

During project development, Jason was directed by his client to find and use props from Unity, so he had to figure out how to export from Unity to iClone; as most tutorials deal with exporting from iClone to Unity. Below, he helps by sharing the process he used.

Adding Zombies to Unity can be an exciting project for game developers looking to create their own zombie-themed game. In this guide, we'll cover the process step by step, with a special focus on adding zombie models to enhance the visual appeal of your game. Keep in mind that this guide assumes you have a basic understanding of Unity and C# programming.

Consider studying popular games like Call of Duty (COD) Zombies for inspiration on zombie behavior, visuals, and overall atmosphere. Analyze what makes those games engaging and try to incorporate similar elements into your project.

By following the above steps you'll successfully add zombies to your Unity game. Remember to continuously test, iterate, and refine your game to create an engaging and enjoyable player experience. Good luck with your zombie-themed game development!
