3D Platformer in Unity - Enemy Shooting Tutorial

In this video, you will learn how to make an enemy object that will shoot bullets at your player. The first thing you need to do is to make a sphere that will be resized to be smaller than the enemy cube. Next, you have to add a script that will instantiate the bullet from a spawn point, which is an empty game object, consisting of only one element - Transform.

The script used in this video describes what exactly is required for an instance of an element to be magically generated. It's a very simple Unity tutorial that can be useful for beginners.

I can help you make an enemy shooting script in Unity, that will follow your player by using a component called AI. The predefined enemy can travel inside the Nav mesh, shooting bullets at a fixed time, causing your player to collect damage and if it collects a lot of damage, the game ends.

Lastly, I will make more game development tutorials and other content related to game industry. These videos will help beginner game developers become better and make amazing games.

Disclaimer: the point of enemy shooting is in entertainment, not in causing physical damage to the player.

[MlNERV__]

really helped me out with my 3d fps for enemy AI thank you

[relarin]

What kind of game do you hope to make one day?

[DevWhisperr]

You have to multiply enemySpeed with Time.deltaTime (enemySpeed * Time.deltaTime) because bullet will travel faster or slower for other players because someone can have 70 FPS and someone 50 FPS. Without Time.deltaTime bullet travels per frame, not per second

How close are you to your Microphone?
This dude: Yes

I am unsure why but even after basically copying your script, the enemy is not firing bullets. What do you think the possibility is? It says that a bullet is being fired (bullet is multiplying in the Sample Scene tab) but none is flying out from the enemy

[elkekeeranders]

It only shoots in the X and Z directions. Is there any way to also make it the Y axis ?

[hithere]

Hello, I followed the steps and was wondering why my bullets were not moving. Do you have any ideas?

[doll_jinx]

I don't understand why my bullet doesn't shoot, it comes out and falls to the ground or remains floating in the air (with or without gravity)

[_-VIS-_]

I have an issue, it’s shooting fine now, however the enemy turn. Meaning it only shoots in one direction. Help?

[nobody]

i got an error :
the variable spawnPoint of EnemyFollow has not been assigned

[muhammadhabibi]

why does the enemy cube have another cube as its child object?
Also can the other scripts also be shared

[kozmobotgames]

Make sure to use enemy.SetDestination(player.position), instead of transform.position! Make sure to use Transform instead of GameObject!

[The_Winning_Gamer]

I do not get it
My bullets work fine
But they do not go to the player

[markkurucz]

Hello Guys Very Good Video! But i get this error and I don't know how to fix it. Here is the error code: UnassignedReferenceException: The variable player of EnemyFollow has not been assigned.
You probably need to assign the player variable of the EnemyFollow script in the inspector.
() |THANKS FOR ANY HELP|

How can it cause damage to the character? Can you make a video?

[giddyhaddcock_gaming]

"SetDestination" can only be called on an active agent that has been placed on a NavMesh"

[someguy]
